The stats on Ares that would be any kind of useful to PLD are the 12 VIT, autorefresh, and the 3% HP/MP. Assuming an Elf PLD has 1500hp/350mp, this tranlates into about +45HP and +10MP. Compare this to AF2 Body and you're only gaining about 20 HP, 10MP, the lolVIT, and autorefresh, while losing 4 enmity and the enhanced cover. Speaking as a PLD, the only thing desirable there is the autorefresh, and I'm rarely strapped for MP in any situation enough that I'd be willing to give up the enmity. Do any PLDs have this and feel differently, or am I right in thinking it's a waste for a PLD to upgrade this piece?
