Post pictures of your gear IV: Oh hey, you're a Paladin too?

[Omnipotent]

Since I had a good week last week for my PLD, and after looking at others, I've felt the need to post my stuff.

Posts from top left to bottom right:
Town gear/Kiting
Flash - Tried to get my big enmity pieces in with a mix of Haste, opinions?
Max Shield - Use this when I have to take hits, or during Utsu: Ichi casting.
Haste - Utsu: Ichi/Ni.
Sentinel
Rampart - Missing AF2 hands from screenshot.
Shield Bash
-%MDT/MDB - Use this for Ultima onry atm, also have a Merman's which isn't shown.
Tanking Idle set - I always come back to this setup after hitting a macro while tanking stuff as /nin.

I will be picking up my Ritter Gorget tomorrow night, assuming we can get 300+ Ampoules on a Tier 2. That will replace my Harmonia's Torque and lolShieldPendant.

We don't do any HNM's or Salvage as an LS, yet we do most every other event. I believe I'm 4th in line for Homam legs, which would complete my Haste setup. I'm in the process of saving for a Hades Earring +1, and a Lamian Kaman +1.

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions or opinions on my setups.

Likey likey?

Fix your rings, don't you know Dring is -11% Damage Taken on right slot?

[Khalil]

That's a marksmanship's ring....

[Callisto]

Which definitely belongs on the left. Good form.

[Colenzo]

im totally setting my title to behemoth dethroner and gettin one of those rings

[Callisto]

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions or opinions on my setups.

Only a minor nitpick: Since Sentinel effectively caps your enmity+ during the duration, I would equip your enmity gear for the actual use of the JA, but then swap out Enmity for other stuff in other slots like Parade Gorget/Swift Belt. The extra enmity from gear isn't doing anything and you could possibly get 2 Flashes off during the duration instead. And Boxer's Mantle for shield/idle.

im assuming you use max shield for ichi and max haste for ni. if this is true, get a boxer's mantle for ichi (and ni in my opinion.) personally, i think shield caps at 310~ for koenig shield. with 4 merits, you hit 310 exactly if im counting correctly. you can do away with shield earing and shield torque once you get boxer's mantle. nice thing about boxer's is the parry and eva procs for ichi.

ninja edit: also, ethereal is nice to sub for buckler earring in the event of a non-shield block. lots of mp back.

310 is not the "cap" for keonig shield.

Shield block rate is effected by 4 things:

Mob lvl vs Your lvl.

Shield Skill.

Shield Size.

Reprisal.

You can "cap" block rate with a keonig on a TW with no skille equiped. At the same time you can fail to reach cap on an IT++ with a good amount of shield skill. I'm still working on a good equation to aproximate how much skill you need to cap per size by lvl difference, but we will see when I am done.

But ya, there is no "magic shield skill" number that caps you on any shield. You probably just get close to block rate cap on normal mobs with that amount. 310 would probably bring you near cap on a lvl 79-80 mob.

@Callisto: With my current Flash gear and Haste/March, I believe my Flash timer is at ~27-28secs, so once I Sentinel, I tend to just manage 2 casts in, although I should have a set for a full Haste Flash.

@Myst: I've managed to get my Ichi macro so it switches in Max Shield during the casting, and the last .5 of the cast it switches in my full Haste gear.

I'm still lacking a Boxer's and Ethereal, but they are planned for.

all this pld talk makes me wanna lvl pld

Way to one up me with a Marksmanship ring

[Furionstormrage]

My NQ PLD. Try not to massacre me, I know I don't compare to a lot of the PLDs here.

Got a long way to go, I try though.

Magic Defense, I use a Lamia +1 if Resentment is not active.
Enmity, the Hospitaler is macroed in for cures only but didn't see the point in posting 2 pics with only one difference.

I didn't bother posting Earth and Fire Resist, most of that sits on a mule anyway, but my max numbers for each are:

Fire: 158
Earth: 159

I also Idle in Fort Torque, Brutal, Suppa, ACC Rings on crap that I can hit easily, and I have Crimson Cuisses but only use them to Idle, Fire Resist, or run around in. Never been enamored with wearing them full-time.
