like i said he refrenced that thread i was just pointing out that the thread states weapon is better bank for your buck.

This isn't a thread. This is a breakdown on a website of raw data on shield block and parry tiers gained through strength increase.

sigh i wasnt refering to what you posted..... you guys fail at reading comprehension. I was refering to the thread he posted. that was suppose to prove that armor was better then weapon. But in the guide he linked it says that weapon is the better bang for your buck because teh stats on armor are % chance and % chance isnt really all that reliable. I was just proving a point that his thread he posted doesnt back up the point he is trying to make.

now to your post I'm all good for chart values and min/maxing but to me the OP wants to know what he should get gear wise off the vendor best item/time. since 5 pieces of armor drop from coil in turn 1 turn 2 and 3 pieces drop from turn 5 the best value best bang for your buck would to get the 3 turn 5 items first above anything else because you have a much higher chance of seeing turn 1 turn 2 pieces. Now if your FC full clears coil every week then ya what the hell get what ever you want off teh vendor. But im willing to bet he pugs turn 1 and 2 coil every week and bangs his head against turn 4 in a pug every week. If thats the case then getting his Helm Gloves weapon will be his best bet.

Getting the gear the fastest way is min/maxing....along with what we're talking about.

And getting the correct gear with the correct stats 1st is part of min/maxing.
