    In the same sense that a screen door helps on a motorboat. Yeah, vit will make you take slightly less damage when you block, but only when you block, and only against attacks that you can actually block. And even then, 1vit=.1%, so...... no. Vit does not help.

    Honestly, with our hp pool so low, I think hp is the best for the legs and feet slots. (I currently use a 60/65 pants and 55/55 sent boots). The body i would also say hp again, our hp is just very low. You don't want to put hp in belt, cus that's where the god of pld stats, enmity, goes, and gloves is a slot that I think the af is actually pretty strong in. (I personally am lucky enough to have hdl glvoes, which are also not meldable). I have a vit17/def17 body, but I am strongly considering making a hp one because vit and def just don't work right now. HP is always there, its also a "storeable" resource in that your whms can top you off. The more of it available to you, the harder it always is to kill you. With moves like voice of the ram hitting for 2.7k and not being blockable, I'm saying the stat you need is HP not vit.

    Hi Pied and All,

    I've been wondering if anyone's ever bothered trying out Double Melded Evasion Tier IV on Feet slot? Or Evasion + Magic Evasion? I know PLD / WAR aren't "Evasion Tanks" but I'm curious if getting some Evasion to help them evade hits once in a while is worth trying?

    Yes, on my WAR I have 33 m.evasion on a raptorskin pot helm +1, and it's freakin' awesome. However, I use that for DD rather than tanking.
