Didn't want to make a new thread, but wanted to ask, is there any way to improve off this? I'm pretty fond of my Noct. Mail in the set x: My Current MDT Set: Thanks in advance.
If youre going to keep the body, then you can swap out mermans ring for minerva ring, swap out head for Noesis helm, swap hands for Medb's gauntlets, use demonry stone all this giving you an increase of +7MDB overall over your current set. Atleast til you get yourself those rings.

Ah gotcha thanks, appreciate the help!

Um Iron Ram gear says hi, there is plenty of other MDT gear around to cap without having to loose a single piece of the set.

There's the augmented dark rings, and colossus's mantle if you can think of some more efficient MDB swaps, but I can't think of anything.

I'll take the chance to completely negate (and heal you) all damage over 5/5 IR.

What does that have to do with him actually having the gear?

well if he's got the gear, good for him. I'd say the vast majority of people don't and Campaign is easy street. The set is still some of the best gear around and a regular part of my rotation.

That was your quote, if not intended towards me, then who?

Good luck digging yourself out of this hole.

You made a mistake oh well, man up and stop trying to save face, who cares?

Hmm poster makes a suggestion about gear in the PLD MDT thread, he must be talking to Gradd? Couldn't I have just been contributing to the thread? I mean isn't that what the quote function is for, to specifically respond to someone?

What makes you think i wasn't responding to the OP?

Higher MDT to account for /256 rounding values. I don't own Nocturnus so the absorb rate is unknown to me, but I'm sure the AF3 rate is similar, also if you pick up a minerva's you can drop Askar for AF3 and a higher absorb.

I responded with the north lands comment AFTER you responded to my IR comment... it doesn't mean that my original comment was for you if i respond to your response of it.

Wait... I thought no one tanks in /nin any more regardless...and why would you not use a shield at all times on pld? unless you are triggering. Also I think honor bound > joytoy but hell idk my pld ain't even unlocked. WOOT WOOT MORE USELESS POSTS TIME!!

i can basically confirm it's at least 5%, seemingly climbing to about even 10% on lower level stuff

without doubt my favorite body piece in the game looks-wise too, even

You have already answered that yourself with:

You didnt quote the OP, or anyone, thus any one with common sense would assume that since this thread was made over 2weeks ago and has been revived by Gradd asking for advice on his build, anyone coming in here and contributing facts or their opinion would be toward Gradd's question/build without quoting or directing your contribution to the OP.

I don't quite get where this came from. Even /nin, you use a shield on PLD. But no, anything you bring a PLD to these days, shadows don't generally cut it.

op gear sets i didn't read a damn thing at all in this except for that. I saw her saying suppa and using honorbound. So i was like.. well I thought plds don't use /nin any more. And also even /nin you always had to use a shield regardless.

Suppa actually isn't an awful TP earring even with a shield, since it's got 5 sword skill, but there are much better things if you aren't dual wielding.

For ppl referencing Minerva's, that's for ochain only eh? It's not hard to cap mdt without adding 8%. When compared to a 5/5 dark ring thats a difference in -3mdt and +13% pdt. That probably ends up being 2-3 mdb overall or ethereal earring. It's common to take both physical and magical dmg at the same time or before you can swap back. I don't think its worth the inventory or trouble to use in the correct situations.
