Fresh 50 Tank Gear guide? (PLD)

[Maelwys]

I also already purchased the ring because of the upgrade it gives and how small the upgrade will be from relic to +1 in terms of the slot.

Or am I reading it wrong.

Nope, completely right for accessories

The Body followed by the Head is actually a very good option as well, because of the additional Vit over Darklight after both pieces are upgraded, and the fact that it doesn't drop your +Acc. I'd personally recommend a Full Darklight/Hoplite geared Paladin go for Ring -> Body -> Head and then start on upgrading whatever they haven't already gotten to drop from Coil, as long as doing so doesn't drop them below the 100% accuracy threshold.

(Accuracy cap is about 475 for Coil Turns 1-4 and 482 for Coil Turn 5. You can use food if needed to hit this!)

The only content I've encountered so far that I feel I could really use my Relic +1 Sword for extra enmity is on Coil Turn 2 when we go left - The Tank gets -25% damage, and the Bards don't...
