PLD BiS (ACC Capped T5)

[Jahaudant]

Ciana: regarding the base stats in your spreadsheet I think you have STR listed incorrectly. my base STR as seeker of the sun is 203 where your spreadsheet has it down as 192.

I'm trying to add a selectable race function in my own sheet so you don't have to manually figure out your base str/vit/hp but can't seem to find accurate numbers!

Looking at the BiS list, I could agree with your true BiS if and only if it was to be confirmed that acc cap is in fact 482. I have always heard that is 472 and haven't found much of anything to dispute that.

If the cap is 472 then the allagan wrists with valor gloves is BiS but only because of the extra 1 parry and dropping your acc to 479. Personally I will be going this route until I can really get into T5 and see where I stand on misses etc. As of right now I sit at 477 with food and don't notice misses at all.

If cap is 472 bis would be w/o food

A-HELM
V-CHEST
A-GUANT
V-LEGS
A-FEET
A-RING
H-RING
A-NECK
A-EAR
H-WIST
A-BLADE
A-SHIELD

That would meet the or surpass 472 by a small number.

So basically exactly what I posted?

Technically you can change out Allagan shield for Holy Shield +1 and hit exactly 472 accuracy while gaining an extra 7 skill speed - but the unreliability of all accuracy testing I've seen makes me want that little extra buffer (until I see solid proof at least). Currently the only solid accuracy testing was done in beta with numbers for current game being different and data sources being unreliable.

This set gives you 489 accuracy and 601 parry with food. Probably shouldn't use it!

As I mentioned above in reply to Ariyn, this is the best you can get if you assume the accuracy requirement for turn 5 is 472.

Weapon - Allagan Blade
Shield - Holy Shield +1
Head - Allagan
Chest - Valor
Gloves - Valor
Belt - Allagan
Legs - Valor
Feet - Allagan
Neck - Allagan Fend
Ear - Allagan Fend
Wrist - Allagan Fend
Ring - Hero's Fend
Ring - Allagan Fend
Food - HQ La Noscean Toast

472 acc, 618 parry

472 acc, 618 parry

I think I clearly stated w/o food on my post did I not? My preferred method is not using food into the equation. Add toast to the Bis I listed and its 484 acc, 617 Par of course it depends on the race but those number typically vary little. As I stated before I prefer not to have food into the equation and minus food this has 475 acc and 594 par.

472 acc, 618 parry

This is the same set I came up with in open beta for a BiS. Except like you I went with the allagan shield since extra acc doesnt hurt with unknown caps and the 7 skill speed wouldn't make any difference at all

You did mention the thing about not using food, which I don't agree with but you are of course entitled to do whatever you like! The problem is the set you posted gives 578 parry and 480 accuracy without food or as I said.....

489 accuracy and 601 parry with food.

You've basically created a 472 accuracy set that is unequivocally worse than the one I posted a while before it. If that's the set you want to use then I won't try to persuade you otherwise but you shouldn't be potentially misguiding other players by calling it a "Best in Slot" set when it quite clearly isn't.

Happy Grinding

Gear stats may make sense, but buying Valor body and farming Allagan head is completely backwards, why would you buy a turn 1 drop and farm a turn 4?

[Jahaudant]

Let's not forget that Valor body is better than Allagan anyway. It's certainly a worthwhile investment unless you already have Allagan body in which case you are better off upgrading other i60/i70 pieces first.

no way in HELL you will hit 8.1k on PLD. PLD hp is essentially the same as WAR before defiance (same gear).

I am wearing WAR gear on lodestone, but check it out...

[main acct has authenticator, am at work so on this act]

8 piece ilvl90, 4 piece ilvl70. (there is only 20 more VIT left from gear...)

And I only have 6344HP no food, no party buff. And this is with no itemization for coil (look at acc). I only raid on PLD since can get ACC cap.
