PLD Gear?

[Stufoo]

I can post my theory of what I think is best. The problem is the trolls that try to derail the otherwise valuable conversation by tossing epithets and otherwise fouling up the thread with negativity.

Don't put VIT on a chest piece for PLD, DEF is vastly more beneficial.

Yeah, probably shouldn't go and attack my constructive posts when the entirety of your post consists of things you don't know about then. You didn't say "In my theories I think DEF is more beneficial than VIT, here's why". You said "DEF is vastly more beneficial, don't put VIT on a chest piece for PLD". That's wrong. You can't complain about anything because you deserve it.

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?

No cap, if there is, it is unreachable. There is a damage floor though, but this is not the same thing as a VIT or DEF cap as it is relative. There is a cap on enhancing magic potency's benefit to each spell, but those are too high to worry about as well, and admittedly the very worst reason to use vitality in the first place. Block Power is the far more beneficial gain from VIT. There's a cap on block power mitigation too, 75%, but that's unattainable on bosses too.

Basically get as much VIT as possible, but don't go overboard because you'll replace it with heavy darklight's more varied benefits or a differently focused body piece anyway.
