Curtana :(

People who don't understand stats and how they effect DPS are the ones who dismiss PLD's ability to DPS.

Most PLD are shitty at keeping combo on cooldown because they don't undestand game mechanics so they don't bother with the combo's out of fast > flat phalanx>SW. Raising STR 1STR=.8dmg 1MND=.7dmg
I can wear HDL gloves for 45enmity or 4.5% enmity on every action, or tripple STR gloves 50STR(+5acc)=>40dmg to every WS I perform.

My base fast blade on chimera is avg 18dmg in full enmity gear BUT my base dmg with the glove swap is 58DMG

5.5x total enmity on flat blade in combo:
18(5.5) = 99 + (4.5% enmity on gloves) = 103.5 total enmity on flat blade with HDL gloves
58(5.5) = 319 total enmity with STR gloves

As far as curtana goes the MP drain and SW bonus dmg is SUBSTANTIAL not to mention you also get the BIS shield. To me this is the single best relic of the group in total performance gains by the job over its BiS alternative including company gear.

Glad someone already posted some numbers on this
My favourite part this stuff TBH.

So Enmity VS STR (or MND) for PLD is:

1 ENM ='s 0.1% of Damage
1 STR ='s 0.8 extra Damage (up to probably 340 STR, similar to DD classes other than BRD)(also depending on weapon)
MND ='s 0.7 extra Damage (up to probably 310 MND, similar to other secondary stats)

So basically, the only time ENM>STR or MND is Either on Provoke/Flash/Rampart where damage is not included.
The only time 1 ENM ='s 1 STR or 1 MND is around a 700-800 Damage hit.

With a Quick calculation then, with a STR/MND build (bonus stats being divided into STR and MND as well) up to cap,
you can increase your WS Damage output by 50% on PLD, thus increasing enmity by 50% on average.
(Flat Blade Combo can be up to 400%)

Going with strictly ENM, between 300-400, that's an increase of 30-40% of low damage output.
Roughly 20% overall

So STR + MND ='s more damage and more Enmity Generation

It'd be dabateable if an Enmity Belt for PLD is even worth it over Double HP.
