PLD Gear?

[Molly_Millions]

You've seriously filled up 3-4 pages arguing over 20vit vs. 20def. Really?

While the tone of the discussion leaves a lot to be desired, what's being discussed holds value. If I'm going to invest boatloads of gil and time to get a nice triple melded (or more) chest piece, I want to ensure I'm spending my gil in the most efficient way possible.

I can post my theory of what I think is best, and if I'm wrong somebody that has a better handle on the math involved and the testing methods used can correct it and tell me why. The problem is the trolls that try to derail the otherwise valuable conversation by tossing epithets and otherwise fouling up the thread with negativity.


That being said, I have a few questions for you all, since you've changed my mind on DEF. Is there a cap to VIT in terms of it's effect on DEF, m.DEF, and enhancing magic potency? If not, would you just stack VIT only on a triple melded cobalt cuirass for PLD? Or would you stack VIT to a certain point, then add something else? If there is a cap, what would an ideal triple melded cobalt cuirass have on it, if I were to use a tier II, a tier III and a tier IV materia for my meld?
