Question about the iLvl 95 weapon update.

[Lucavern]

SNIP

Since you don't seem to actually understand the concern.
Allagan Battleaxe/Bravura +1(iLVL90)
Strength - 31
Vitality - 35

Allagan Blade/Curtana +1 (iLVL90)
Strength - 22
Vitality - 25

Allagan Round Shield/Holy Shield +1(iLVL90)
Strength - 9
Vitality - 10

With regards to TANKS their base-stats are currently matched gained from their weapon setups. Str/Vit from Battleaxe/Bravura = AllaganBlade/Curtana + Round/Holy Shield. The concern is that by bumping only the weapons from Twintania to iLVL 95, it is possible the stat-balance between the two classes would be broken. This can be remedied a couple of ways however.

Increasing Allagan Round Shield to iLVL95 outright.
Pro's-
Keeps balance the same for current content.
Con's-
Paladin gets access to their iLVL95 shield much earlier than any other class.

Increase Allagan Blade's iLVL95 str/vit to make the difference between iLVL95 Axe and iLVL95 Sword/iLVL 90 shield
Pro's-
Keeps balance the same for current content. Paladin does not get the iLVL95 bonus any earlier than WAR.
Con's-
Creates imbalance further down when additional iLVL95 items are added. iLVL95 Sword+Shield would have higher net stats than iLVL95 axe.

Create mechanism to increase current iLVL 90 shield to iLVL 95 when the iLVL 95 sword is acquired. Can be through hidden trait that increases paired shield's iLVL, mini-quest (no actual action required) that upgrades the shield, etc.
Pro's - Keeps the balance for current content.
Con's - Unsure

Essentially, whatever method they chose, SE needs to keep the raw stat gain equivalent between WAR and PLD for current contents top gear.
