Simple Fix to PLD

[NoctisUmbra]

I wanna see this vid with all these blocks this pld is doing vs bosses w/o skills. Please post parse or video.

I never made such a claim. I'm saying DEX barely does anything to block rate, and to notice any worthwhile difference you need to stack massive amounts of it. Even then it doesn't compare to the number of blocks you'll be getting through skills, and thus there are better things to stack given the choice. Again, to each his own.

This thread is not about the discussion of block rates. It is about the clear inferiority of PLD as a tank in comparison to WAR, and how hased on design philosophy and some applied logic the only way to fix this is by making it viable to bring 1 less WHM to any party that is using a PLD tank as opposed to a WAR tank. My proposition to satisfy that condition was a global % based damage reduction.
