I have been looking at the stats and to me AK gear provides better stats for DPS. Also, WP gear has a lot less physical defense than AK, but it does have much better mag defense.
If it matters, im a dragoon.

DRG WP chestpiece has Parry.
why would a dps role care about parry? shouldnt he only care about dps...
Its because the WP one is leather, for monks.
meaning that the gear is only better for monks?
No, meaning that because it is a leather piece, it naturally has less pdef and more mdef.
When dealing with gear, 90% of the time you should only focus on the stats it gives, as long as you can wear it. And that means 90% of the time go with the higher ilvl item as long as it has strength, because strength is a much more useful stat than the offstats for damage.
I would not worry about the pdef/mdef at all.
