    This thread is gold. Regardless, the only thing I have to add is the recommendation of the Militia gorget. The few who posted the raw stats and know what's up. I salute you. You know who you are.

    With regards to the Militia Gorget, I am of the opinion that it is a tad bit overrated. I had one and tried it out in various situations but ending up selling it. The reason being that I prefer the +15 accuracy and crit hit + the explorer's offers or even the attack the electrum +1 offers. This is personal preference of course but I prefer to hit hard and hit accurately, doubly so on Warrior. Even with 2 minute Miser kills, the militia gorget didn't make or break the fight with regards to Miser turning.

    Enmity is an important stat and that 3% may raise the parties DPS ceiling a wee bit, but for me I just simply prefer what the explorer's or the electrum offers. Again, this is personal preference. I look at each battle differently and gear accordingly. But I have never yet encountered a situation where the militia gorget made or broke any of our runs. So basically if you need some enmity help, get it but if you don't notice too much of a difference, sell it and enjoy your 10-15 million.

    Also just to follow up on the lominsan overcoat; That thing is boss. It covers all a paladins needs with an extra 70 defense with sanction enabled (220 Defence.) Another bonus is the Lominsan weapons offering inherent accuracy when compared to the Moogle weapons. Honestly, if you are a career tank starting out, the Maelstrom offers the best tanking gear hands down.

    The militia gorget is probably one of the best neck pieces you can get if somehow you can get your str/mnd/acc caps and not have to worry about getting one of those stats through another piece of jewelery. However, I'm pretty sure that's only feasible with triple melded+ gear, if at all.

    That said, I actually use the Militia Gorget specifically for hamlet before the NM pops. With every piece of enmity available to me I can pull shit off the crafter/gatherer's with one voke and flash.
