hmm, never thought about mind effecting damage either, it would apear that with mind effecting damage, there leave little incentive to stack str, before it was rummored that str effected block, (not block rate) , I belive that was later debunked. Pretty certain block rate is effected by dext, as well as accuracy, soo the only other place one could add str (pants) it would apear as tho you would want dext instead. making str seem like an alternative for PLDs seeking to do more DPS instead of tank role. I like the availability of diffrent options , however, pld as a dps role seems pointless. The amount of effort it would take to make pld do GOOD dps seems more trouble then its worth when better alternatives are out there. Just curious as to why SE would even give us that option. seems they would make vit a damage multiplier, but if they did that , I could see where PLD could quickly become OP.
