These sets are simulated with the "HW Meta" composition. As you'll notice, itemization prevents us from building any effective slow builds. If you find yourself more comfortable and better playing at a slower build, then by all means, go down a few tiers with some gear swaps. Max comfiness and phase transitions are still the key rule when picking speed tiers.

Now this is more like it, this is the only linked setup in this thread that actually makes sense

So its meld DH > Crit as a PLD? Then on crafted ACC put Str VI and overmeld DH?

You can also meld Crit > DH, once Crit is maxed.

It depends on your raid comp and your own preference.

IIRC last tier, the best PLD builds had both melded maxed crit, then DH AND only DH melded. Their party comp were almost the same, also. Barely any difference - if any.

So am I reading this right? I only need 3 pieces of crafted jewelry for this build?
Very grateful to the people who figure this stuff out for us, BTW.

Sorry for the necro but is this still relevant for the current patch? All str on right side for PLD and meld DH and Crit accordingly on left side? What's the crit cap these days anyway? Just came back last week.

I will redirect you to Campi's post, as this is the most relevent post and the answer to the OP and your question.

One thing to note: If you're going to play Omni-Tank (+WAR), change every DH meld to Determination (except for 1 DH meld in head piece) and add 1 Ten V meld into one of your accessories. This way you reach next Ten threshold, as any more Det V melds would be waste.
