    Gladiator/Paladin STR & MND Stat Caps?

    Testing

    Mobs: Lvl 50 Drubbers @ Za'harak

    Skill Used: Phalanx NQ ** Cobalt Winglet 34.62 DPS

    MIN: 281 Max:331 Predict: 306.0 DEV: 8.170% - 275 MND

    MIN: 291 MAX: 340 Predict: 315.5 DEV:7.765% - 285 MND

    MIN:285 MAX:342 Predict:313.5 DEV:9.091% - 303 MND

    MIN:307 MAX:368 Predict:337.5 DEV:9.037% - 288 STR

    MIN:330 MAX:389 Predict:359.5 DEV:8.206% - 318 STR

    MIN:328 MAX:396 Predict:362.0 DEV:9.392% - 328 STR
    Conclusion:
    - STR is the Primary Stat for PLD
    - For DPS: 34.62
    :Stat Cap on STR is 315-320
    :Stat Cap on MND is 275-280


    STR vs ENM on Lvl 50 Drubbers (WS Damage on Cobalt Winglet)

    Phalanx MIN:241 MAX:296 Predict:268.5 DEV:9.213% - STR 208 - 296 MND

    Phalanx MIN:328 MAX:393 Predict:360.5 DEV:9.015% - STR 314 - 281 MND

    Increasing STR by 106 to near Soft Cap increased damage by 34% so equivalent to +340 ENM to generate the same Enmity on WS.

    Updated findings on MND vs Combo Multipliers
    ~240 MND caps the 4.5x Bonus on Flat Blade Combo, and no more than 1.5x Bonus on Spirtis Within. (Not sure how low it caps, because I didn't test below 240)
    New testing - MND --> Auto-Attack Damage
    I don't have my parser numbers here, but MND does effect Auto-Attack Damage. It is better than the gains on AA from STR up until it caps
    Basically MND is the single most important stat for PLD. WS damage, AA Damage, Healing Magic Potency. All of which are key to generating Enmity on PLD
