^ This...

Infact, in over 5 years, this is the first time I've ever come to the forums.. I've gotten loads of compliments, got some hair splitting victories doing the final blow with less than 1% hp left and everyone else wiped on my PLD. Had many people want to party with me again, and made many friends.

But apparently due to the elites on this forum I've been doing it all wrong, every last bit of it wrong for 5 years.. lol....

I don't meld gear, ever. Not once have I ever used materia.. I don't use food.. Ever.. Not once.. I never leave Shield Oath, unless OTing...

Yet I'm apparently an extremely good player, and a tank people want to have in their group... Go figure...

TLDR: Coming from a paladin MT who's apparently doing literally everything wrong.... You're literally arguing over straws here. None of it matters.. Except (Maybe) in savage which not many do anyway.
