BiS PLD Gear?

;;;;;;;;;;;

To my knowledge it is the same as it is currently.

Yeah after looking at all the new stuff, I think PLD BiS will stay pretty much the same.

If memory serves, there are only 2 items whose stats are changed. The changes do not really affect anything much anyway, so it's safe to say whatever other threads existing that depicts BiS for PLDs are still valid.

Nothing will change. None of the new PLD stuff has a place in BIS tanking sets.

Onion Shield is debatable though. Consistency vs. better Bulwark.

I don't know about you guys, but allagan gloves loosing party means my bis slots got changes for sure. I'm rocking allagan boots because I was waiting for gloves to drop... Now I got to run valor boots and gloves...

ultima ring gives less parry than allagan, and has determination rather than skill speed. (looks like nothing changed for here though.)

all of the extreme primal drops are Ilvl90 as well.

in addition, allagan gauntlets lost its parry stat.

Ultima Ring of Fending gives 2 less parry than Allagan?

I'm not sure if it's worth trading 2 Vit and 2 Parry for 7 Det.

probably not, as its ilvl80. good stepping stone. but the other option is a garuda EX drop that doesn't even give parry.
(also edited derp in my post)

i'm still picking it up, it looks cool.

Valor gloves were always BiS over Allagan. Allagan boots are still BiS though whenever you find those drop.

Let me tell you this simple, its from what I test

-Dump all Determination, do not touch Determination, Determination do nothing worth for damage output or anything, test with -40 determination, its do different around 1-2
-Go for Parry build, put everything about Parry as much as possible
-Accuracy must be 475-480 for all situations
-Critical Hit rate is the least important stats (Determination is worst one) its help you on everything, damage output, DoT, cure etc.
-Oh did I mention skill speed yet? dump that too, nothing help you either, don't think 400 skill speed will help you hit faster, NEVER

and bingo, you are the best Tank in the game now.

While I agree it makes you well-geared, simply having gear does not one make the best tank in the game. ;)
