Right, blocking is not DPS. That's why I said ". . . if you need a DPS shield, that +2 STR is on their [sic]." I mentioned DPS at all because there are better tanking shields, namely Vintage Kite Shield + materia.

The Bliaud is indeed from DD. However, you said that Batraal had nice loot and is a fun fight. In support of that, you brought up the Shield (Batraal loot) and the Bliaud (not Batraal loot). I dismissed the Bliaud out of hand because, well, it's not Batraal gear. All of the mages in my LS had a Bliaud before we ever downed Batraal. That's neither trolling nor derailing.
