@Flamers:

Musta struck a nerve ;D , did I just make a statement , claiming that all your hard work and countles hours farming DLH armor was all for not? A wise man once said , "the truth will set you free, but first its gona piss you off" , actually not sure if who said that, but its quite fitting tonite . Blah blah blah, "you lose enmity" , you might match my def, just barely, but your vit number are probably way off, and mind is probably lower as well. Everyone seems to want to seperate the two stats, but if we are talking from a strickly unbiased, and fully tested aspect, then vit gose hand in hand with def. Only thing I can sugest is test it. Dont hate the mesanger.

Now to adress some comments I find less troll and more rational concern.

1) Reason I sugest this high enmity DLH build for DD driven tanks. Because DPS benfits more from "enmity" then actions like "voke" "rampart" "flash" and even flat blade combo. Again, only thing Im gona sugest is test it. See wich helps you more, "enmity" or "mind". Now thats not to say I dont stack enmity where I can, when i score a malitia's chocker, I will be close to 100 enmity without once sacrificing vit or def. As far as the relic gear gose. I wont discredit relic anymore then I can, I dont have it thus I cant test it. There are traits on that gear you cant get anywhere else, soo that being said, I cant say conclusively anything about it.

2) Those who assume I am losing vit or def stats have obviously ignored the fact that I regain those stats from materia stacking, hense why my vit and def number are both realy high. I wish I could get mind higher but forgive me If I havent reached gil cap yet, yeah I know "filthy casual" right? One thing at a time, and it takes time to build gear sets, especially if one dosent have limitless free time.

3) , for those elitest out there who put themselve ten tiers above the rest because of their delusional idea that they are better because they have more time to spend on the game, well, for those guys, nothing serves better to explain how I feel , then simply saying, kiss my ass lol.. In what universe dose, more free time to play a video game = better at said video game? Sorry if being incapable of spaming content to death dosent put me in the upper levels of players , but with two kids, job and a wife, game kinda takes a back seat lol. Im not gona justify my lack of "acomplishments" in the game to a bunch of people who still cant figure out why on earth a normal human being dosent spend half his life behind a computer, to that end, get a life lol.

I posted My stats compaired to that of a DLH set because it was assumed I was missing somthing vital... other then enmity, these is nothing I am missing out on, and its my opinion that enmity + on pld is not a "vital" stat. I know, god forbid somone dosent fall in line with your elitest ideals, "off with his head!" bunch of morons, after all the parseing and testing I have done you honestly think simple trolling and flaming is gona change my veiws? I have been tanking this game since yoshi took over. Have tested, and continue to test stats, and my personal results conclude that def is in fact not broken in anyway. Vit dose help with damge mitigation and they both effect eachother. Mind is a strong and in my opinion the strongest enmity stat for PLD, block is as important as block rate and both in high numbers can reduce damage an aditional 50% . Where enmity and dps helps, its not a main stay thus not a priority in my book. These are all MY conclusions and have worked for me for a long time. Enjoy your DLH gear, I am certainly going to enjoy taking less damage then the flamers who stack dlh and holding hate just fine , enjoy the rest of your day. Flame on.
