You're also going to see more impact based upon the real value of the different secondary stats than you are from the loss you're talking about. The fact that the Allagan Sword and Allagan Shield are loaded down with both Acc and Parry rating while the Allagan Axe is just Acc and Det is a bigger question of real equality than what you're attempting to dredge up. The fact that the Allagan Sword and Shield both pack the best tank stats (especially given that they're high parry rating) means that PLD is going to have a pretty substantial advantage over WAR even *if* you're losing 1 STR, 1 VIT, and 2 secondary stats.
