Once the WAR has taken his full 840 points of damage, the PLD would have taken 840x.8=672 points of damage. The PLD is left with a 700-672=28 Adlo shield. This means the shield effect on the PLD is (28/700)=.04 more effective!

The shield effect of Adlo is 4% more effective on a PLD than WAR!

Also note that a PLD receives +25% effective healing received. Assuming no over-curing is done, the PLD is effectively cured for 700x1.25=875 vs the WARs cure for 840. In this case, the PLDs cure is effectively (875-840)/875=.04 better. In other words:

The cure portion of Adlo is also 4% more effective on a PLD than WAR! (Which subsequently means ALL cures, except Lustrate which is the same effectiveness for both, are 4% more effective on a PLD than a WAR!)
Wait, where does he 0.8 come from?

Anyway, this isn't quite a valid comparison as the contribution from shield oath (dmg -25%) will outweigh the dmg mitigated by adlo.
{dmg - 25% - adlo} will always have a greater effect than {dmg - 1.2*adlo} in terms of overall dmg mitigated (unless it's a really weak attack)
WAR makes up for this difference with the HP pool they have.
