This is the major point...
When you're talking about magic damage.. HP > ALL
So any NM, Boss, MOB, etc. that uses a big magic attack... the one with the most HP (WAR) will always be better

not having magic defense and not having elemental resistances on any gear is lame...



How is this possible? I don't even....

hmm , our LS has tried many many diffrent techniques, if you ever watched your parse, the majorit of the damage taken from ifrit is done my NORMAL attacks , same with any other boss fight, ( except, arguably, moogle king) fire resists helps where you can put it, but overa def>vit>mind> dext> elemental resist(apropriate element) > hp ( note hp is last). HP = dick if you cant deflect ANY damage. I parse the lowest damage i have ever seen tested on Ifrit, 33k in a 12 minute fight 21 in 10 minute fight and have never stacked HP on any gear. HP is a waist 1k hp gose in about 3 swipes or a tp move durring ifrit. and thats my own chr, soo if you deflect less damage then me (wich if you stack hp , you likely take alot more damage then myself) chancesl are 1k hp is about the first 10 seconds of ifrit fight, othewerise GARBAGE, HP is nothing w/o a way to defend it.

Yea.. I guess... he does his normal attack more... that is for sure... but that is so easy to heal through....
The only chance you have of dying is when he spams the magic abilities

and HP would be awesome for a tank who can be invulnerable to Ifrit's physical attacks for a third of the fight

I would much rather go defense over HP.... Its just defense only works for physical damage where HP works against both
