New /war body?

Seems to come from the Necropolis ANNM Dijinn. I'm interested in see what the maxes of all variables could be for this (some more enmity and HP would be sweet)

I'd still use v.body instead for /war
But for the most part it's a nice utsu piece for those of us who didn't pick Nuevo

Darksteel Harness +1, Valhalla Breastplate sup

Yeah cause those have shield skill, the only main reason I was mentioning this.

Start casting in Fast Cast then switch to Shield skill

You said 'new /WAR body', to which I offered superior alternatives.

really (other than Valhalla, which is out of reach for alot of PLDs on these forums) your "superior"s aren't necessarily so either...

[Kaparu]

Nothing on the above body piece is going to cause it to mitigate more than the direct 4% that a Darksteel Harness will, much less Valhalla.

Cause all PLDs fill up on Darksteel gear right? I love my Darksteel Subligar! It's about something more than the Shield Skill (which is nice on it's own since we don't get shield skill in that slot). It's about the other stuff that comes with it, enmity, HP/MP (small here, but could be higher on a better augment), VIT.r

Does Kap even have PLD leveled? I know he loves to talk like he is god's gift to FFXI in every forum regardless to if he has the job leveled

He likes to feel important, just humor him.

The real answer: stop wearing purple, it makes you look fat.

Doesn't make me any less right

I never said it didn't.

Meh.. I would say it's an alternative to /WARing in Gallant boots (+1).
Since most PLD's are hesitant to take off their askar boots anyway, at least with this it they sort of maintain the block % cap.

As for darksteel harness, i'm going to continue not wearing one for the same reason i continue to not wear a Jelly Ring or Earth staff anymore. Not like it really matters anyway.

1) If you're looking for /WAR gear, you probably need to level another job and seek out your /NIN gear first. Turtleing in /WAR is kinda... Meh. Not to mention, you can get well over 300 skill in shield, and if I recall Ferien's tests correctly, there was something about stacking past 300 shield skill and deminishing returns. We'd need to find the next tier breakout for this to be truly effective

2) This wouldn't best my pick (imo) for Nuevo in terms of fast cast + enmity on /NIN casting shadows.

It is a VERY nice find, however, I will not discredit you on that. I don't know much about the ANNM trials, but isn't this an FoV gear trade? And aren't those random? Or do they have standard buffs per gear and/or per FoV NM? This would be absolutely amazing on lower tier armor and equipment.

EDIT: Sorry Aeon, thought of some additonal things, so I went back to edit.

From what I heard, any piece of equip below 50 can have random augments thrown onto it by trading it to the chest or something (someone tossed in a PCC, and got back a PCC with -2 STR. lawl), whereas the high level ends are just randomly shat out w/ random augments.

Correct me if I'm wrong. Except you kap, you do enough of that as is

You can't trade gear over lvl 50 to FoV.
iirc you can't trade rare gear (PCC) either

[Phlow]

My bad for adding confusion. This is an ANNM piece, not FoV: http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/ANNM

[Eanae]

Ichi macro. Nothing more. Would never use /war.
