I was doing that for my dtr test since the first 2 didn't show much difference, and I lose faith. You can fill the points little by little. At least, you'll feel safer that knowing your time investment is worth a little or no.

You are extremely brave to do the test involve with chance @@:::

I was in a dungeon with some japanese this past weekend... I was on whm again and like..."oh! so this is how easy this dungeon is if the tank dodged the poison breath..." >"<
Thank you, though I don't know if my courage was born out; even I don't really trust those numbers, even with 1000 samples per stat - probably going to need to bump that up to like 10,000 for an actual accurate value. I would have done what you said, but due to the fact that I couldn't find much Dex gear on the market, all of that Dex was from bonus Attribute points. I don't know of a way to remove them, so I had to do it in order from smallest to largest value.

What dungeon were you doing? I'm always looking for ways to improve my technique and help healers.

*Edit: As Deli says above the best thing to do is to avoid getting hit in the first place. As tanks, we're given some moves so that we can stun, and stop big damage attacks. Also, running away is a completely valid strategy. :P We don't have to just stand there and eat attacks.
I was more refering to PLDs, since at least to my knowledge, they take a sizable hit in damage dealing potential compared to MRDs. And I agree, I'm actually quite proud of my evasive abilities. Unless I'm fighting in a huge mob of enemies, I very rarely get hit by anything with a slower than a 1 second charge time. Except last night.... That last run may have been a wee bit too late for me, never have been much of a late night gamer *cough*
