PLD BiS (Post T9) - Widely Accepted vs. Optimized Crit

[SirTaint]

The 1 parry is worthless. Most stats are thought to be linear but the game only shows whole numbers rounded.

1 parry vs 57 crit is a no brainer. But 57 crit vs 8 det 44 SS is virtually the same thing. As a MT even in BiS your DPS is very low. MT is also one of the last jobs in a group that will reach BiS due to sand/oil priority.

T9 was killed with an i94 ish PLD. So true BiS for a MT will have some slaying accessories since the VIT needed to win every fight is nowhere near i110 100% fending levels.

You bring up a very good point about SS and DET. When tied together they provide essentially the same DPS increase as the 57 crit. What you said regarding the slaying accessories is interesting. I have never heard anything along those lines to date. Where most Tanks are opting for 2 Noct Rings to make up the temporary VIT gains (1 Weathered 1 Upgraded)
