The reason why MND is so good, is that if you have a bard, you essentially have unlimited mana and you should be Holy Succoring your retarded DDs who like to stand in things that hurt them.

    Don't ever stack defense, it's a stupid stat that requires you to dump so much effort into it and you'll never see a visible return on an NM anyways.
    You completely neglected STR. STR will benefit a PLD much more than VIT will given PLDs already higher damage mitigation and the extremely low damage mitigation from VIT at level 50.

    the following hierarchy is better imo:

    Enmity > MND > STR > HP (MND and STR are fairly even, and shouldn't be in contention with each other because the only thing they can both go on is your sword, which you should attach enmity to)

    Indeed I did, I don't actively stack STR, however many of my pieces of gear actually have STR on them.
