    Ah, I knew about that, but PLD got the stance dancing thing too as well as more PLD friendly raid tier.

    Spoiler: show
    I would have changed the potency on Abyssal Drain/Unleash/Drk Passenger so it was strongest AoE tank

    PLD's stance mechanic is still by far the clunkiest of the three.

    i would argue that it's actually functionally smoother than drk. on pld you never straight up drop an oath, you always switch from one to the other, triggering the cooldown. works the same as war, just on GCD.

    drk's is exactly like cleric stance. gotta cancel that shit, and hope you didn't tap the button one too many times.

    I've been mathing out some future gear pathways and surprisingly found crafted 220 hands with full crit melds (IV's in the advanced slots) appear to be bis for dps. Is that the case or have I been sniffing to much glue?

    I used some fairly conservative weights for the crit and det as I did this a couple of days ago before Dervy released new weights which turned out to be a bit higher, improving the case for crafted. Of course this is assuming I don't need any accuracy from that slot, which I don't think I will as I'm already near 800, and can always juggle accs around if needed.

    Midas hands with 24 crit added come out to 197.18
    Crafted i220 with 51 crit added come out to 190.05

    So the crafted Hands are BiS until you get Midas.

    Ak okay, I reviewed the numbers and you're right. I derped and forgot to add in the crit melds on midas. Thanks for clearing that up, I was confused as crafted parts rarely, if ever, have that much longevity.
