PLD vs WAR: testing

[Viritess]

Is AF the best gear for a test case? I'd expect something better would be either armor with neutral stats like +HP +MP such gear or +acc gear. Or is the aim less about specific differences and more about each classes max possible output?

I would say equivilant armor that both jobs can use, when testing abilities it's usually best to have them on as level a playing field as possible.

Both Jobs were internally tested/balanced by the devs using their AF, I think its proper to use it for this test as well.
