Hello, I need PLD gear advice

What do I wear

Personally I like to wear my quad-melded VIT chestpiece. Don't worry about accuracy - it's your party's job to hold back long enough for you to get hate. Also I'm working on a penta-melded Sentinel's Celata. I'm pretty proud of my gear because I've played the materia slot machine pretty hard to get what I want. I also use a Thormoen's Pride for the +evasion.

Thormoen's Pride, but , if you want to tank anything, you should probably gear out a whitemage with a defense build.

I'd also suggest wearing Gallant Sollerets for the block rate. It really helps. Block value is a worthless stat, it's all about stacking block rate.

Mind posting your setup + stats? I'm just curious considering you're using quad meld gear (assuming its all III's and IV's)

I'd love to see your VIT/evasion build take as little damage as my DEF build does.

Grats on the celata though, I've been having trouble double melding mine. This game is pretty ridiculous sometimes. 18% success rates it's as bad as darklight gear drop rates lol and hey magic evasion materia isn't easy to come by~

No you see for optimal melding success you take a tier II for +10 (8 or less will not do), a tier III for +15 (less that that will cost you on the tier IV) and any tier IV. Your chances of success will be higher than two tier IIIs and a IV.:o

DAMN! so I assume then that you have a multi melded sent. celata currently?! I'm so jealous. I can't get one of those things to drop to save my life =/

Here's my setup that I use for everything

Sentinel's Celata 3-meld (+49 healing potency) my old 4-meld blew up :(
Sentinel's Cuirass 4-meld (+70 vit)
Raptorskin Subligar+1 3-meld (+30 str/dex)
Fingerless Raptorskin Gloves of Slaying+1 4 meld (+28 block rate)
Explorer's Moccasins
Scarlet Sash

Rose Gold earrings +1
Black Pearl Choker +1
Amber Bracelets +1
Stonewall Ring/Amber Ring

MH: Thormoen's Pride OH: Thormoen's Purpose (for the hidden set bonus)

It works pretty well against Ifrit. As soon as my LS can muster enough people I'm hoping to take on the dreaded chimera :)
