i find your logic to be flawed. damage IS mitigation. first of all your gauge in sword oath builds much faster that shield oath, 2 defensives are tied to having that gauge. also nothing has changed more damage skips mechanics and shortens the fight which results in less chance of a wipe and less healing needed. if you have a ninja in your group all you need is one roh combo then you should be in sword oath for the remainder if the fight. shrk has gaurenteed you will never need another roh. also pld is doing amazing in the dps department almost putting uo 3000 dps, if you sit in shield and play defensivly at the cost of that kind of dps you are hindering your raid. so no guys, super defensive is not the key to playing pld.
