    PLD 4.0x Materia Melding

    I've been hard pressed to find a really good discussion on what materia is best to meld at the moment. I've already heard that Tenacity is garbage to the point that people think it's pretty much broken. So with that said, I've been holding off melding anything because I don't want it ending up being completely wrong.

    Thoughts? Thanks in advance for constructive input!

    I've heard a lot of people saying to meld DH on left side and STR on right

    Thanks so for far for the input. Seems if I'm running the normal 310-320 right side STR is gonna be where its at for now. DH on left. Still wondering if they are going to fix Tenacity... might as well just remove it as it stands now.

    520 Dhit (full left side) is a 14% proct rate at 25% bonus dmg = 3.3-3.5% DPS increase overall.

    520 Det at around a .396 stat weight towards base dmg for PLD is about a 5% dmg increase atm.
    You can't meld full Det atm tho because a lot of gear comes with it, so prioritize Dhit then Crit after that.

    Once crit numbers get 2.1k+ (I think it was), then Crit becomes > Dhit and perhaps Det for tank.

    Pre-omega you could parse over 3k on Susano dummy with PLD, no food/pot, with prioritizing Det + Tenacity, with Tenacity not contributing much of anything to dmg. And could parse 3100 using det + dhit, no food/pot. Would need lvl 70 food to parse 3100 on PLD using full DHIT tho (pre-omega).
