His gear is fine, assuming the truth was told. He'd be missing like 10-15 defense over all if he has full Calvary set in comparison to the gear drops from the sunken temple itself.
I'd be curious to compare shield blocks versus the passive -20% at that level. Say on an average, you block around 20% damage. Would that not, in essence, be equal? You're almost constantly blocking stuff, depending on type of shield you have as a PLD. So in that regard, I would think it would be awfully close and when PLD hits 40, that's when they become the better constant damage mitigator...

Now that I'm thinking about it, Qarn is the next one after Brayflox, isn't it? So yeah, the gear would be fine, in that regard....Hm. It would be lower but you could simply mitigate that with someone that pays attention to the damage influx.

Points noted. Guess the healer just dropped the ball on that one =)
