Paladin vs. Warrior in Garuda fight

[Aceofspades]

hmm, is enmity realy an issue here? Also I noticed your gear set up lacked mind stat, stacking mind is super helpfull for keeping hate, as it increases enmity from the fast blade > flat blade combo. this combo can be spammed at a pretty constant rate through out the fight and dosent require much TP to do soo , soo it would not interfeer with any other tp based abilities.

the MND stat is pretty exclusive to melding on your head slot so that has nothing to do with his other gear. That is a good point though, adding MND can't hurt.

This is something that I'm wondering. Should I change my +37 enmity sword to ACC that I would gain from this Cutlass? Is it worth it? And Is there something else that I could use from the company? I see that youre using Lominsan Officer's Overcoat and I've been wondering that would it do me any good agains Garuda. Overall it seems to be a nice piece and with that sanction boost, it looks great.

Enmity gear is subjective, you have to remember that every +10 Enmity is only a 1% increase, and likewise you have to keep in mind just how much your sacrificing in order to get high enmity in the process. IE: what good is it to get 200+ Enmity if your DPS drops 30% in the process. It's very important to keep track of that otherwise your wasting your time/money for gear that might not really be helping.

Here's my gear setup, underlining all the storm gear.

Storm Lieutenant's Cutlass +20 Acc, (5 Pieces) +30 Atk.
Vintage Kite Shield +1 (+16 Def)
Cobalt Celata (+34 MND)
Lominsan Officer's Overcoat +10 STR, VIT, DEX, MND, Sanction: +70 Def
Felt Trousers (+12 STR, +12 VIT)
Cobalt Guantlets (+35 STR)
Storm Sergeant's Jackboots +30 Eva., (2 Pieces) +10 DEX
Cobalt Plate Belt (+42 Enmity)
Storm Sergeant's Bracelets +3 Atk., (3 Pieces) +7 STR
Storm Sergeant's Earrings +4 Atk., (4 Pieces) +7 Crit. Atk.
Explorer's Choker
Electrum Ring x2

Frankly hate hasn't been an issue even though I haven't been stacking hundreds of Enmity or using Maddening Pots with a BLM in the group consistently doing over 100 DPS, just make sure a bard can keep Minuet up on you early in the fight and you should be solid w/o any worry after a few Weaponskills. Hell you'd be surprised how much DPS makes a difference in hate generation, but each person has their own preference and I've only just built this setup a few weeks ago so I haven't had sufficient time to really test the setup on anything beyond Garuda or Ifrit atm.

Thank you for all the replys guys. This has been helpful I'm still kinda wondering that Storm set. Of course the pieces woun't go waste, those pieces can be used with other Jobs as well. Is there a second opinion about that Storm set? Would love to hear

Storm set is the best tanking set when it comes to GC gear.
