[Guide] Paladin Tanking Compendium 2.0

[Lucavern]

I completely agree. My coil group is able to clear turn 4 now, so to me there is no reason to buy items with Myth that aren't optimal, when I can hold out for the drop in Coil. There is nothing currently in game that we can't tank without full ilvl90 gear (excluding possibly Turn 5 as this has yet to be beaten), so the gear-sets we are building are just to make current content even easier while gearing up for the next round of content. From the current understanding of dev comments, Coil is 1-5 is going to remain the hardest content in-game till 2.2. This gives us at least 4-5 months to continue gearing our main job from Coil before next tier drops. I don't know about you, but if I'm still running Coil in 4 months and clearing it weekly but haven't gotten every Coil drop for my pld that I want yet... I'm gonna be very pissed.

The second you start adding any additional jobs that you want to gear, you immediately have better ways to spend your Myth tokens than on buying non-optimal gear. Exception: Valor Head and possibly Curtana +1, as they are currently believed to drop from content which has not been cleared yet.

Yeah the only issue you may run into is the social aspect of being stingy or dkp hoarding or things to that effect. Outside of that I'm on turn 5@55% and have terrible gear. I just have curtana+1, holy shield +1, hero ring, and Valor chest. I plan on buying Valor Helm on Monday.

Not at this time, to my knowledge.
