How to Build a PLD, needing tips plz.

Really MND on body instead of VIT or HP? And HP in legs over STR/VIT? What about HP in feet?

I didn't list STR/VIT because VIT is all but completely wasted at 50, VIT is also not optimal for PLD either. VIT gives a 1:1 boost to HP, but has no other benefit at 50. Because of this, Loresman's Wit, Vestryman's Faith Materia, Swordsman's Cry Materia, and Ironman's Will are fairly equal because they all have one wasted stat. That's not to say they don't do PLD any good, IMO they just aren't optimal. I only listed materia that has 100% valuable stats for PLD. Because of the relation of damage dealt to hate gained, materia that acts as a dmg modifier in addition to affecting things like evasion or healing magic potency therefore is more valuable. I tried to take into account that certain materia goes in more slots than others. For example; HP can go on just about anything, evasion only goes on feet. As for where I placed magic evasion, magic evasion is very important for a tank because most mobs biggest dmg dealing abilities are magic based. Using magic evasion allows for less cures and less chance the whm will pull hate. thanks for catching my mistakes. If anyone else can find issues with my list, I'd be more than happy to modify it.

edit* actually the whole body section was wrong. I had a copy+paste error, but I fixed it.

Can't even meld MND to a bodypiece if I recall correctly (Maybe one of those new materia I can't remember). It was VIT, DEF, Crit Atk + for the most part, unless you take the PLD af body which actually has some MND on it.

I did accidentally have MND listed in the body section of my materia guide. It needed to be corrected.
