Excal offers NOTHING to tanking ability. If you're geared to tank properly, then you won't have enough ACC to hit consistently anyway (on anything hard), and so the ~10% (last I heard) proc rate on the Add effect is going to be even MORE rare of an occurrence, and so you aren't doing notable damage ANYWAY.
Sure, the weapon slot isn't a make or break deal, but the PLDs I see with Excal got to where they are min/maxing all of their stats. That's what being good MEANS in this game. How many millions do they pay for that Hades+1 just for 2 Enmity, or that Lamia Kaman +1 for a few MP and one more MDB. What did it take for that Speed/V-Belt for the extra 2% haste over Swift? 1 Extra Shield skill for M.Head+1? All this effort to maximize crucial stats for every slot, and then they give up the easiest +4 Enmity they can get for a shiny pokey stick that doesn't help a goddamn bit for anything other than farming and MAYBE recapping XP (Though they probably STILL won't get a decent meripo).
Give me a fucking break.
Congrats anyway, just don't go around thinking it makes you any better of a PLD.
