Guide to fixing PLD

hmm Garuda seemed more magic resistant then actuall physical damage. Thus the reason I wana try with 6 war in a DPS set up. as far as acuracy and tp gose, I dont have any ACC gear at all, never have an issue landing combos in a timely manner or gaining enough TP do soo for that matter. And personaly I never stack HP over anything , it just dosent make any sense. Here people complain about block rate an how effective it isn't yet they stack HP, you realize, if you stack def/vit , even if you did block, you wouldnt notice much a differance. I use devine veil for two reasons, combo with out manuver or stone skin. As far as magical damage gose, if my rampart/sentinel/and or stone skin is not up in time, then my whm may actually be needed for more then just regen / buffs or simple cures. Only tank that NEEDs accuracy is WAR and even they do well with low acc gear.

Garuda is about as resistant to damage and m.damage as Ifrit, the main issue is she has high evasion/m.evasion making it easier for her to reduce the overall damage dealt to her. The Razor Plumes she summons as well as one of the clones (Chidara I think) are resistant to magic making it impractical for 5-6x BLM parties like in the past, however it's still relatively doable with some experienced and well geared players, since getting her to Ariel Blast ASAP is necessary for survival. GLA/PLD might have less issues in the Acc department due to the high-acc nature of some of their TP moves, however overall they still have the same fundamental Acc issues as any other jobs, it's just slightly less noticeable in some cases.

Oh , well thank you for the insite, will take that into account when developing a strat after patch. BTW, dose anyone know if we can find out the raw stats of the boss mobs. Reason I am asking is my goal is to match my raw VIT with their raw STR and my DEF with their ATK, I belive this will make taking damage on the bosses stupid easy, just need to know their raw stats to know where to set my goals. TY for any info on this subject.
