How exactly is this going to fix Abyssea congestion? Other than 15 seconds less waiting time at the Atma Infuser.

So they're turning Dynamis into Abyssea? Fun.

Wonder how this is going to effect relics (as, spare for a couple stray pieces of gear, they're all that's worth getting out of Dynamis now, and with Empyreans that's even a stretch).

If we're not concerned about the fact that improving defensive capabilities aren't going to affect Paladin's hate-holding ability at all...
Absorbs Magic Damage taken isn't a bad option. Ochain blocks physical attacks and heals MP, Aegis could be the reverse and block magic attacks to heal HP. Better option would be to have the Aegis absorb magic damage and give the Paladin as much enmity as if (s)he had just cured him/herself for that same amount of HP. Then it would be at least situationally powerful. And for how much SE is into mythology, I'm surprised there isn't a Petrify effect somewhere in the Aegis plethora *cough* of effects, since the shield is made of Medusa's head, which Petrified enemies on sight. Shield Bash petrification/enmity boost much? Or give Paladins who wield the Aegis a weaponskill that temporarily gives the Paladin gaze-based Petrification. Not that that'd be overpowering or anything. I'll stop now.

...Or they could overhaul how enmity is calculated entirely to benefit Paladins and other jobs that SE wants to tank. Okay, now I'm done.
