COR Stoneskin

[Loren]

Does anyone worry about this?

In NM situations, sometimes it takes 20-30 seconds to achieve a proper number on a frontline roll which leads to potential AoE fun. Armor Buster and Seismic Tail in recent memory.

If my arithmetic is correct:
Hume COR75/WHM37 has 64 MND, 105 Enhancing skill ~ 138 HP Stoneskin (wee)

Theoretical/ridiculous perfect gear:
(Weapon) Neptune's Staff ~ MND+5
(Sub) Raptor Strap +1 ~ MND+2
(Head) Denali Bonnet ~ MND+4
(Neck) Promise Badge ~ MND+5
(Ear1) Communion/Static Earring ~ MND+2
(Ear2) Communion/Static Earring ~ MND+2
(Body) Blood Scale Mail ~ MND+11
(Hands) Denali Wristbands ~ MND+4
(Ring1) Aqua/Tamas Ring ~ MND+5
(Ring2) Aqua/Tamas Ring ~ MND+5
(Back) Royal Army Mantle ~ MND+2
(Waist) Grace Corset ~ MND+3
(Leg) Prince's Slops ~ MND+3
(Feet) Denali Gamashes ~ MND+3

This brings MND to 120 and Stoneskin to 275 HP, so about double.
But it's absurd to carry all of the above.
Using only the items that a player is likely to own/pursue anyway, MND would be closer to 100 -> 215 HP Stoneskin

I'm just curious if anyone has war stories about what's helpful/noticeable/worthwhile.
Or if I should just run to the opposite side of the battle and try to clip the frontline with Luzaf's Ring?

Don't be a pussy! So what if you get hit . Really the only thing you can do is eat MND food (which would be kinda dumb) and get the best MND equipt setup.

Wouldn't you be better off with augmenting earring and, enhancing torque or stoneskin torque? (The one that drops off the popped NM in promy-V.)
Also /RDM gives you 4 more base enhancing magic iirc.

MND+ gives better SS potency than enhancing magic. So if you can fill spots with MND go for it.
