Items Database Updated! - Are the new weapons worth it?

[zdub303]

not sure, i block for 28% when i have a melee dps in party, so i could run with it.

still doesn't rule out the fact that allagan is still bis for shields.

Why? Allagan Round Shield is still i90 - http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...m/55e77f202fe/

What makes bis? (genuinly curious here as a tank who still hasn't seen it drop)

Has accuracy and parry, holy shield has skill speed instead of accuracy, onion shield acts like a lantern shield and has critical hit rate.

accuracy and parry are the two stats that you should be prioritizing end-game.

@Delnoir: i +1ed my shield the moment i got relic, then i found out that allagan was better...and drops on turn 1.

between Holy Shield and Allagan shield I see that, but I think it goes much deeper now when trying to balance effective mitigation between a kite shield and a lantern shield. If kite shields are superior mitigation then Allagan is BiS, but if lantern shields are then Onion shield is BiS despite missing a relatively small amount of parry and accuracy.
