Remora it might be mediocre but better than I had in that slot before which was homam manopolas. Gradd this is pld ichi close set which does bump shield skill to 41+, I have 18% haste in my pld ichi open set its listed under pldichi in my item sets and this pldichi close set also listed. My thinking is that I can open in haste close in shield skill and if my haste/fast cast wasnt quick enough to beat the mob Ill hopefully get a shield block and get it off anyway. If you get a chance to look at my item sets any suggestions comments are welcome.
A PLD needs 15% Haste, from both Haste Gear/Fast Cast when Casting Utusemi to cap recast timers, with your current setup youd only have 7.5% Haste (Assuming thats a Fast cast/Enmity Nuevo) which is really bad... Stick to homam hands to bump you up to 10.5% altho im sure it gets rounded down to 10%.
Homam Cosciales and Loquacious earring would put you at the cap you need for Ichi.
Also keep in mind that 15% percent is assuming you have 2x March and Haste which puts you at the 50% recast cap.
Those hands are pretty ***in general for PLD/NIN, decent for PLD/WAR I guess.
Altho right now PLD is a pretty dead job in general. Sadly its gone the way of the ninja.
Heres for hoping SE does something to fix PLD in the upcoming update. :/
Ninja is no longer lol and never really was. Pld has become extinct but you'll find more ninja tanking then a pld will. Plus ninja is fast becoming a top tier DD thanks to RR and VV atmas and ws macro swaps capping jins at 3k-5k
