[Guide] Paladin Tanking Compendium 2.0

I was speaking about a main job yeah, my bad I'd not taken into account people with other jobs that are trying to gear multiple.
I'd still say Sauteed Coeurl was better, you're trading 5 Vitality for 23 Parry, then you've got the skill speed on top. Depending on how the game rounds, HQ Finger toast could be better too according to the stats on the initial post (22.84 parry vs 23 parry/15.45 vit vs 14 vit). With cost not being a factor I'd probably go with finger toast over la noscean due to this being min/max.

From what I've seen, game typically rounds down. Also, the HQ Finger Sandwich caps at 15vit, 27parry, and 9 accuracy. The reason to not use Finger Sandwich as far as I remember is that you are not maximizing the potential gains. Now, if Finger Sandwich and La Noscean Toast are the same price, it would be better to use the Finger Sandwich. Using Jahaudant's BiS chart you cannot get full potential of HQ Finger, but you are maxing out La Noscean Toast.

Then if you're not using la noscean toast with BiS gear you're really not being optimal as you're giving up 1 parry for 1 vitality.

For BiS gear I've seen some paladin tanks running around who I've personally seen with an allagan piece one week then valor the next, while I'm sure not everybody would do this - If you've already got an allagan slot for something there's no need to get valor because it's BiS. I suppose it's common sense but I have seen people do this.

Also - what's the reasoning behind parry = determination on the stat priorities page?
