    PLD BiS?

    I can't find it anywhere? From what I see it would be
    Sword: Gordian
    Helm: Eso
    Body: Gordian
    Arms: Eso
    Waist: Eso
    Legs: Gordian
    Feet: Eso
    Shield: Gordian/Eso
    ???
    Then for accessories, I don't see the need for over melded 150 because I don't know why people need that much health? But I was thinking
    Neck: Gordian Slaying
    Ear: Gordian Slaying
    Wrist Gordian Slaying
    Ring: Penta melded 150
    Ring: Penta melded 150
    This gives 58 VIT and 62 STR on the rings instead of wearing one of each, or should I just get Eso and Gordian ring of slaying?

    Hheeellllllppp meeeee

    Thanks

    Savage progression. If you aren't doing Savage, I wouldn't bother melding unless you just want to spend gil.

    All slaying is fine for pretty much everything else.

    As long as your set the stat weights to your wants/needs, this tends to work fairly well.

    And as Ash mentioned; unless you're pushing for Savage Clears before the gear progression finishes levelling out in the next week or two, no need for the penta-melds at all.

    http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/RPIH Way too much accuracy but crit beats determination atm. Skill speed is pointless on paladin and parry is entirely useless.

    Once you have BiS available, you can drop the pentamelds for pretty much everything. Once next tier hits, they'll end up being replaced anyway.

    I'm sorry



    Penta/Quad meld accessories, prioritising replacing accessories with parry
    Or use slaying
    Buy the stat relocate(250 seals) item if you can't survive (35str -> vit) and its not your rotation

    My main question is whether I need any vitality in accessories (fending or Penta 150s) or if I can roll full slaying, I'm on A3S atm and hp doesn't seem to be an issue, but maybe that's because I have some to spare atm... Just contemplating getting rid of last 1-2 fending for slaying or Penta melding

    In A4S my warrior will tank some stuff in full slaying and he occasionally gets ganked. It depends on how much you trust your healers. If they keep you topped up most of the time you should be fine. The missiles hit for like 10-12k before mitigation, and there's a couple times when they'll hit at the same time that your DPS need to make their adds explode. That damage depends on how low the adds are. I've tried full slaying before (on dark knight) and I didn't really feel comfortable, but then again I also haven't cleared it.

    The worst nuke (other than Drainage) I have seen is the Fluid Swing + auto attack at the end of hand phase, hit me for a total of about 22k, but I'm a Warrior. Doesn't really warrant extra HP, though, it can be easily mitigated, it just caught us by surprise. It's not even guaranteed to hit that hard.

    If you have enough i200 and i210 left side pieces you can get away with full slaying accessories. Pentamelds are also a great way to go if you want some extra survivability without sacrificing damage. The the amount of vitality you trade for strength, however, highly depends on how comfortable your healers are, whether or not your group needs more DPS to make the checks, and how well you're keeping aggro.

    If you're making it past the double hand check easily every time, then your group probably has enough DPS to clear the fight. I would just play it safe at that point until you're close to the clear.
