PLD Stat Allotment Update?

[PiedPiper]

I went str/mnd even split. I was able to generate enough threat to hold miser in a speed run. I am however weraing +153 emnity; top two monks in group did 29 and 28k, so if pld can hold that then yay. This how ever was not super consistent, across a few runs I would loose threat when she was in the pool (our strat I stand at range so it comes out asap) though this was solved with cover. Still, kinda sloppy. For threat, this seems a good build, as to dex for block rate... i mean we have divine veild and boon which means nearly 40% of the time you just are gonna block, and the rest of the time I still block a lot. (Phalanx is blue about 80% of the time, judged using a vid I did of myself to analyze my micromanagement).

Unfortunately, I am still simply too squishy and too weak in the AOE trash pulls to really be a safe choice for speed runs. It is viable in that it can be done, but pld will cause more wipes than war in same gear and is thus still just a liability to the group unfortunately. I really wish it wasn't so, I enjoy pld much more than war. Double the effect of war drum and make riot blade AOE and poof, we're fixed.

OH, and Chimchim is no problem for pld, though initial threat is a little slow. The ability to go completely immune to him is nice, and threat was again fine, but the trash pulls are riskier on pld than war, which is just a hindrance to the group.
