    The answer is 10 VIT, 12 Secondary stats.

    If Slashing/Blunt/Pierce resist work like elemental resists or defense, it is not 1%. I would be shocked if they had the other 2 systems work one way, and Physical resist turned into a % Resist. Could be though, just not likely.

    I can't log in to check right now, but I think blunt/slashing/pierce resists are set at 100 (where elementals go several times more than that), so it wouldn't surprise me if it did end up being that 1 resist for those 3 types ended up being 1% reduction. But I haven't seen any testing on that, so I'm not going to assume anything about how it works in practice.

    see that's what i thought, as every other HQ'd ilvl70 thing has the exact same primary stats as it's darklight counterpart, and they can't be increased at all through materia

    tank chest has 36 vit whether you're looking at darklight or hq heavy darksteel, and that can't be increased by materia - 36 is the cap

    so I'm curious why any tank would want a 10 vit ring when they could use the hero's/allagan ring and have 15 vit

    maybe other people gear differently, but I focus on eHP as a tank

    isn't a 15 vit ring better than a 10 vit ring? (even if the 10 vit thing has crit/det/skillspeed)

    The 10 vit ring also has 9 STR and 9 DEX allowing you to hit your walls for mitigation. It is essentially, 5 Vit and 4 Parry ( for the i90 rings ), vs 9 str 9 dex 12 crit and a free materia slot for whatever.

    The 10 vit ring is much more effective HP, despite being 5 HP lower ( roughly 95 health in defiance ), and provides some damage bonus as well.

    I'm sorry I have to retract this. That was actually White Ravens from P3 data. Turns out it was patched at launch.

    That's why I couldn't find the site, it had been taken down.

    /sad

    Guess I'll be spending that gil after all... BOOOOO

    Didn't see that with all the shit going on. What the final word on that ring then ? Is it only 1% mitigation on physical damage ?
    It's a shame, I liked the idea of having more diversity since we're already in a situation where prefering a tiny amount of X over a tiny amount of Y makes you an horrible person. Guess this is going to be like any other game, do the exact same thing as everyone else or die alone.
