PLD Stat Allotment Update?

I block on my PLD often enough and I haven't put a single point in DEX. It's not worth it, IMO. Actually, niether VIT nor DEX are really worth it. Damage mitigation from VIT at 50 is TERRIBLE to say the least.

I agree with Molly here about the wasted points in DEX. While your natural block rate might not be as high as you'd like, your shield abilities alone more than make up for that.

Divine Veil gives you 100% guaranteed blocks for 20 seconds on a 60 second cooldown, so realistically, you're not blocking for 40 seconds out of a minute. Now factor in natural blocks, Aegis Boon and Outmaneuver as well as other damage mitigation sources like Sentinel and Stoneskin, and you are rarely ever taking full damage from a physical hit.
