PLD Gear?

Wouldn't that leave you with only like 314 str? Curtana's got to cap higher than that. You've got other triples on there, might as well go for triple Str gauntlets over Darklight. Hell, if you wanted to keep your belt you could use the Maelstrom Shield/Earring/Bracelet. You'd probably have to switch out those Rubelite for Electrum on some fights (like Curtana/2xHQ Electrum/Militia gets me only ~95% accuracy on Nael/Ifrit, would be lower on Garuda) so having more str options would be good if that's your focus.

I'd have to agree there, I think there was an ongoing discussion on the MNK forums that the caps for Relic are roughly 380/330 so you have to really push it to make the caps.

But on the other hand if he insists on using the DL gauntlets, rather than swapping out his HQ STR rings he could also swap to the Lominsan Officers Gloves which give +50 Acc with Sanction so he'd at least get the better of both worlds.

I forgot about those gloves. Lucky Lominsans and Adders actually got good paladin gear from their company. Still, the Sanction requirement kind of sucks.
