Yesteryears versus These days...

[Dimitri Maximoff]

Koenig has been around the yesteryears, every PLD aims for it but many changes have been made these days.

I would like to know based on personal opinion and not the bandwagon, which body armor these days has the potential to defeat the Koenig Cuirass for the PLD job.

I have seen many a PLD wearing different body armors but which is the so called most balanced one for a full time PLD which he has on himself at almost or all the time.

Please share your views^^~

Are you for real?

[Sonomaa]

Ares decimates koenig in everything basically

[Lordender]

wth koeing fails.

[Ryko]

Optimally a hydra haubert and an ares cuirass.

[Lexa]

Hi2u Ares.

If every PLD aims for it, it's for the same reasons as me - because it'd look fine on my character's awesomely hot body figure as I idle in Whitegate.

Don't mean to be an ass but the value of those forums shouldn't be understated.

[Dimitri Maximoff]

Oh oh so sorry lol. I just had the thoughts of end-game HNM scenes and items and that prompted me to post under the Advance Sections.

My most sincere apologies to all.

On asura sure.


Anyway I'm sure most PLD would agree, if they had to pick 1 body to wear forever, it'd be Ares Cuirass because it's a nice all round piece.

So, why exactly does K body fail? I'm not a PLD, but the 20VIT isn't such a big thing, eh? I know if there was a body with 20INT or MND i'd be working my ass off to get it. But I'm a mage so I'm sure it work different.

[Charismatic]

It does.
Very different.

Defense stats work differently than damage stats. Vit gets capped eventually to the point where excess vit is obselete, INT on the other hand works differently with the way nukes are calculated where more is good and there's no real cap (we haven't been shown to hitting a point on int rendering more = useless).

rampart macro/blood tanking/looking awesome

on most things utsu is god, but there are still some things where tanking with your face is preferable.

For example? I can't think of anything in this game I'd prefer to blood tank.

Only things I can come up with are maybe limbus or dynamis but I'm pretty sure a damage set will be of much higher value, like wearing a haub or in the previous example using Ares body, even then... I still think you're better off with pld/nin in a dual sword merit build. (lolplddd?)

Koenig body is town gear or a highly situational piece that is no where near the effort involved to get it. If you're still on the Koenig body bandwagon you're probably back asswards.

[Bregor]

Whatever, you're all just jelaous. I wear M.Body all the time!

And sometimes at Faust... sweet, sweet Faust, my Jelly Ring still loves you.

that's not entirely true. there's a certain value where your Dint gets capped, the issue is that with Dint, the cap is probably in the hundreds while with vit it's not remotely as close. still, i give you that the concept is pretty much on and yes, lolkoenig.

ares, valor, hydra body are better choices i think, as well as some more specialized pieces like assault breastplate. still, better than a gallant+1 if you're about to get beat on, so for a wal mart pld who can't get some of the shinier pieces, there might be some times you'd pull it out i suppose.

[Toonshady]

ares body is the best to use in just about every situation now. if SE would add a NPC that stores full sets of cursed armor, my koenig would be the first to go

[Kitha]

Koenig is sexy for /dnc, but even then it's not as good after the nerf

[Seditedi]

PLD/DNC? lolol
