Yeah, the choices for stat allocation, especially for tanks are pretty much pointless, there really is no reason not to put all the points for PLD into vitality, the equipment makes up for the others stats. Either mostly eliminate stat allocation or give some benefits to putting points into another class, like for example PLD, putting points into Dexterity might significantly increase Parry (I heard it does a tiny bit but is worthless compared to putting points into vitality).
