Materia choices for Glad?

[Treach]

How does taking less damage gain more enmity? There isn't any hate/aggro decay afaik.

You could go Meva in head for 40ish double socketed, but I can't even eyeball the damage reduced on ifrit, 40 evasion on feet but thats rng....vit on chest and vit/str on legs but I don't see how that can really be called mitigation. Defense materia but thats all but useless on ifrit and I wouldn't trade 240 hp for 64 defense on moogle (assuming shield and chest).

I'd take str mnd and enmity just for ifrit to do more damage for hate, and they ever so slight cure increase then hp because my thms count to 5 then start blowing mp. Moogle I take HP incase I can't outrun pom flare while kiting king and I get EES on me.

I just don't see how rng based stats can beat effective health, not saying you are wrong just don't see how the minor mitigation helps.
