PLD Gear?

[Aceofspades]

Thats the thing though, you are favouring 11 more defense over 13 extra vit, 45 emnity, 34 hp, regen +5. That's a huge sacrifice and a bad suggestion as a tank to say that your 11 defense is better than all those stats.

The only issue I have with body piece is the loss of 32 mind, but that can still be made up with mind rings.

45 enmity is nice, but like you say you lose mind, mind is more valuable (imo) as a pld,

11 def is more valuable then 13 vit.

34 hp is a joke

+5 regen can be made up with higher vit numbers, wich I understand is contradictory to what I just stated but thats because I dont use mind/acc/str rings, I use HQ vit rings, wich more then makes up for the lack of vit on the gear and further increases strength of self buffs and damage mitigation. Not sure how conclusive this is, as I have just hear of it, but some are saying it effects block power, wich is huge in my book. Overall , Crafted materiaed gear is more valuable, at least in this case.

You're right, 10 vit = 1% dmg mitigated from a shield block. If you take 1000 damage, you reduce your damage by 10 damage. So your +1 vit rings = 36 vit = 3.6% dmg mitigation.

So when it comes to comparing, your 11 defense vs 45 emnity 34 hp +5 regen per tick and 13 vit, you can lose 32 mind but as I said it can be made up with rings.

I wont laugh at your set and say it's useless because it is not, what I'm trying to say is, that all these items that take a long time to gain, stacked together are worth the trouble because together they cover alot more areas of hate, accuracy and damage mitigation, mp managment and damage in one go as opposed to just stacking damage mitigation. They have similar damage mitigation BUT you get all those bonuses on top.
