best stats for a paladin

[Stufoo]

I'm okay with being an asshole. Troll. Douchebag. Asshat. Whatever you say. In the end, between you and me. We know what's up, and beneath your skin is pretty comfy.

After I got a solid explanation did I argue any more for DEF over VIT? No, I didn't. I even changed my stragey for melds based on that thread.

You shouldn't have said anything in the first place because by your rules...

When I'm giving advice, it's usually because I think I'm right, otherwise why would i be giving it?

You had absolutely zero reason to believe you were right because you blatantly said in the very first page that you didn't know what defense and VIT did and asked for testing. You should have no say in the topic because you don't understand it. How is this concept hard to imagine for you? This is exactly why I told you to stop posting. You do this all the time. You have no experience or understanding and are unfit to give advice.

If you were wondering, the proper thing for you to have posted in that thread is "Why did you choose to meld VIT over DEF?" If you would have liked a longer post, you could have elaborated with how you think the stats work, and why you think that defense is "vastly more beneficial". Anything else is, in my mind, and through your own admission, out of line.

There is a reason I don't ask for testing on things because I do it myself or go to Kaeko's blog. When I make a post, I double and often triple check numbers and reference parses and test summaries. Until you at least put forth some effort into research and optimization, you honestly should stop acting like an authority of paladin. Posting a screenshot of some pants with lifethirst that you wanted to blow up in the first place, M.eva boots, and constantly making excuses for other things seems like very low effort to me, like you don't care about your paladin at all.

And trust me, I get it, you're low on gil and don't have much chance to blow up HQs and IVs 24/7 like others. Fine. I get it, you're not in the best linkshell and it's fairly social and you help each other with AFs and have fun in skirmish. That's absolutely fine. Enjoy the game however you want. I am not and will not mock you for those things.

I mock you for your hubris.
