I just got pld to 75 (my first) and I'm really confused about gear. First, I was surprised to find out that pld uses /nin for every endgame event apart from dynamis, considering I've used /war from 1-75

I just dont understand a lot of people's gear choices. For one thing, body pieces- I can understand that the refresh from ares body would be useful, but what benefit could pieces like koenig body and valor body possibly have, if I'm being protected by shadows?

I read through the pld/nin sticky but couldn't find anything that answered my question.

I'd really appreciate it if someone could explain to me the basics of what stats a pld's gear should have at endgame level and why pieces like koenig body are beneficial to pld/nin. I don't really see the point in getting good gear for pld/war since I don't plan on doing dynamis.

This is a bad trolling attempt. Go away.

Well I'm actually being deadly serious, but never mind, I suppose...

It's all situational. Macro in "x" piece of gear for /ma /ja ect. You want haste for most ur magic and enmity for most ur job abilitys. That's as simple as I can explain it, PM me if you need more details.

Good luck ^^

Koenig isn't beneficial, really. This should be in the stickies somewhere, but I'll highlight the strong points.

Haste: Faster cast and recast. More shadows, more flash, more macro (wear -hp, wear +hp, cure) cures. This is a pretty big priority. Depending on your melee gear, this is effective for getting 100% tp and using Atonement as well.

Fast Cast: See haste. Don't melee in it.

Enmity: Obviously for hate. Only have it on for spikes of hate, like Atonement, Flash, Cure bombing. Don't idle (melee) in it unless you have nothing better.

Accuracy: With the advent of Atonement, landing hits and getting to 100% tp is pretty effective. Joyeuse can really help out here too.

That's a quick and dirty version. Send a PM or something if you have questions.

Koenig is a great Rampart piece

Haste: Faster cast

No.

No.

Blerg. Yeah, just Fast Cast affects that and recast.
