Whats better?

[Nitecon]

Thanks for the Rampart advice

I'll definately work on a VIT setup.

I'll think about the events my LS does and whether an extra 15s or more dmg reduction is better.

My pld comes out once in a blue moon, but I'd like to be as efficient as possible.

Thanks again guys.

Defense bonus is fucking lol.

[Sakurazaki]

For THF for ws what's better... Chivalrous chain or Breeze gorget? for dancing edge and shark bite

[Tan]

Defense bonus is fucking lol.

Yeah because it might save you 50-100 damage over time. Oh wait thats what Magic Shield can do also.

[Judai]

No, it won't. Sorry. Rampart Defense Bonus is shit for one and two, Defense is shit after a certain point.

@2 above, Gorget.

[brisk]

Numinous Shield +1 or Muse Tariqah for whm?

[Tan]

If you are using it for Cure V, Muse is your better choice for the extra MND.

[Amele]

Numinous Shield +1 or Muse Tariqah for whm?

numinous is probably better to idle in of those two

[Wolfknight]

For THF for ws what's better... Chivalrous chain or Breeze gorget? for dancing edge and shark bite

gorget easily.

For a G-axe WAR, Bomb Core and Unicorn leggings, or Bomblet and Askar Feet? Full gaxe merits, have dusk hands, chiv chain not chram, no haidate. I seem to be able to use meat no problem, haven't parsed it recently though.

[Judai]

Askar Feet should not even be an option for TP feet on War. You mean Ares's Feet? Bomblet/Aurum best imo. Unicorn/Dusk after that. (unless +1 of those two)

[Valyana]

Dusk NQ or Askar hands, 14% haste vs 13% haste. War/Sam.

1% haste will improve your hits/sec by 1.15%, 1.41%, 1.67%, 1.96% depending on magic haste (none, Haste, Haste+V, Haste+V+A).
5 DEX -> 3-4 acc. If 3 acc will just bring you to capped acc, it increases your hits/sec by 1.60%. 4 acc, 2.15%. If your base acc is lower, it will be more of an improvement.

So, Askar unless your acc is capped or you have capped magic haste.

[Valyana]

Askar Feet should not even be an option for TP feet on War. You mean Ares's Feet? Bomblet/Aurum best imo. Unicorn/Dusk after that. (unless +1 of those two)

Aurum > all

Amir > Dusk unless acc capped or 2x March.

Wivre Shield vs Koening Shield for /NIN on PLD

[Xanthu]

Askar Feet should not even be an option for TP feet on War. You mean Ares's Feet? Bomblet/Aurum best imo. Unicorn/Dusk after that. (unless +1 of those two)

Gah jesus sorry. Amir feet.

[drwaffles]

Numinous Shield +1 or Muse Tariqah for whm?

Well, Muse Tariqah is essentially a Numinous Shield +5 minus the negligible MP bonus and the elemental resistances whose effects you'll most likely never observe or be particularly thankful for if you idle with it equipped. Templar Mace/Muse Tariqah is the ultimate combination for all WHM Cures assuming you don't need Staff Strap to hit -50 enmity on I-IV.

[Judai]

Wivre Shield vs Koening Shield for /NIN on PLD

Koenig. Higher Def = Higher Damage Reduction per Block. (nobody better even attempt to claim they dont get hit on PLD/NIN)

[Ferien]

Koenig. Higher Def = Higher Damage Reduction per Block. (nobody better even attempt to claim they dont get hit on PLD/NIN)

I'd say it really depends on what you're doing. The 10 DEF results in 5% less damage per block, at a 40~65% proc rate is around 2~3% more physical damage taken overall, depending on your proc rate. In terms of pure hate generation, 2% more hate per action should outweigh the increase in damage taken most of the time. If you're bloodtanking or it's a situation where keeping shadows up is difficult, go for the Koenig.

The higher your ratio of physical to magical damage taken during a particular fight, the better Koenig is. The difference also grows the higher your Shield skill is. Really though, the difference is going to be marginal no matter what.

Numinous Shield +1 or Muse Tariqah for whm?

For ePeen Cure V, muse. For every day use - Num shield +1. I use dryad + staff for cure 1-IV and will eventually get a muse for Cure V. That's if anything ever wants to drop for me in ZNMs. So far 0/A LOT. I've seen NO ZNM drops (even the crappy ones) from any of my pops. And that's got to be around 12 so far.

At the moment, my Rampart macro consists of Valor Coronet and roughly +30enmity.

Was wondering what other Paladins were using for Rampart? Full enmity gear swap or stacking VIT to boost Rampart's magical damage stoneskin?

like others have said, stack vit. If you want an extra 15secs use valor coronet over koenig head. I use the following for my rampart macro:

Head: Kaiser
Body: Koenig
Hands: Koenig
Legs: Kaiser
Feet: koenig
Neck: fort torque
Back: valor cape
Waist: warwolf belt

this brings me to +83 vit or an extra 166 damage shielded. I stopped using valor coronet a while ago since i usually use rampart right before a spell/tp move should go off.
