Will edit in acquisition methods as they are discovered. If any typos are made lemme know, was a lot of copy/paste so it's possible I missed something.

Weathered Noct Hoplon is better than any other shield out there right now except High Allagan (which shits on all of them).
Oh yeah it's not organized by preference or anything, just wanted to group soldierys / leviathans / relics next to each other
PLD looks like Shield > Body > Ring > then maybe Burt depending on Relic progress. Thats 6 weeks of Soldier Tomes.
The block strength makes that big of a difference? I was gonna go with the body first cause of the shiney.
Divide block strength/rate by ten, then by 100, then multiple together to get the rough effective mitigation of each shield. Noct Hoplon is ~4.1%, Holy Shield Animus is ~3.61% (Weathered Noct Shield is 3.6%). High Allagan is ~4.4%. I personally am going to hold off until we know which turn High Allagan comes from.
Yeah I'll prolly go ahead and get body first. With my luck on the shield dropping I'll never get it.
bis parry? No i100+ tank helm has any parry at all, and allagan would have less once this is melded. idk how you'd consider 21 parry vs 8vit/3def/3mdef on i110's.
Melds? Caps would be 21 parry/acc etc, but could do some weirder things like spell speed/piety/dex/idkwater resist?
Edit: helm in avatar is this helm
Any information on obtaining the base weathered weapon yet?
So you'd go DEX on melds? It may not take an extra 18, most older gear would cap 2 less than the main prime stat, like trying to meld int to the harlequin set etc.
Edit: 13 max DEX on this.
Nvm. Can't find source.
I would personally If I was going to bother, cap Parry and Dex (in 3 or 4 slots?) and then idk, spellspeed for self/party-emergency-stoneskin situations? PIE....has it's uses I suppose, but meh if you need so many flashes that you run out of MP, you probably aren't fighting anything super hard, and likely have time to do combo to get mp back. this head however, is the best looking head piece in the game for tanks in my opinion, and should be prismed by all
Probably just do acc then. So heaven's eye iv x2 in the guaranteed slots, DEX iv x2, battledance iii
