PLD Bonus Stats

[baconlaserbeam]

Is there a stat we could put the points into for a greater amount of magic DEF? Seems like bonus stats are not game breaking in any way.

you are right Zfz, Crystal tower is the in between and has yet to be launched because they have been unable to set the difficulty level right. My opinion on the stat, Vit > Str, still. In a FC situation you can get away with full str but I have found for pugs and the shit players you can get in them that the extra health has saved my ass a dozen times. DPS/Healers not getting out of the way of mechanics and the healer having to focus on the dps/themselves instead of the tank and stretching their GCDs thin.

I see.

I have two characters, midlander gladiator went 10STR then 10VIT route and now is working towards 15/15. Miqo'te gladiator was supposed to go 30VIT route but for God knows why it runs into enmity problems much, much more often than the midlander. Bad weapon drop luck on the Miqo'te could be the cause, though.

My miqo'te is mainly playing WHM and yes, I hate those arrogant lancer/dragoons who thinks they can tank so it doesn't matter if they pull aggro. A lot of people don't seem to understand that having to heal dps all the time endangers the tank and the party. And there's been a few times when a tank could go from 90% to 20% in just one GCD, and my next heal would land on the tank just moments after he dies. Granted though in those situations, the tanks are all very squishy. I never had the time to find out, but I suspect they mix a lot of dps gear that has lower armor; because I've seen plenty of proper tanks (who actually remembers they have cooldowns, too).

I suspect that 30VIT will not matter at all once we're in patch 2.2 or so. But for now I guess I'm gonna save up 20,000 seals so my two characters can all convert to full VIT at 50.
