And before anyone asks: NO there is no known way to see possible augments in the .dats, only in-game.

(But you can only have 5 separate augment entries per item, so you obviously can't max all of them)
PS. Mana Wall +10% cape? Does SE even play this game?

They were probably having trouble being truly top tier at portal #2.

Holy ***... the heavy DD armor. Tons of +accuracy and -DT. Now I'm gonna have to redo some of my WAR's -DT sets.

Enmity+10 BLM Cape, tanking tool of choice =p
Assuming you wear no other DT gear, a 95% Mana Wall is taking 100 MP damage from a 2000 damage attack. Toss in 50% DT to bring it down to 50 MP from a 2000 damage attack.
Reasonable Refresh buffs for hard content at the moment would be Ballad I~III with G-horn plus Amalric Coif Refresh and level 5 Refresh Vorseal (30MP/tick assuming none from equipment). That means you could take 1200 damage/tick without losing any MP. Also, nuke with BLM AF body and nuking buffs and you're unlikely to lose MP from that either.
Best of all, it's 100% predictable reduction that doesn't rely on shield blocks, parrying, resistance, etc. Super Revitalizer makes sure you'd have access to it for at least 10 minutes every fight in Escha even without a COR. The only issue is Dispel / absorb buffs. I was already able to straight tank that Malboro T1 in Escha using Mana Wall and Vex/Attunement. This is just going to be craaaazy.

I agree this is nutty, mana-wall was crazy before this.
Most blm's don't utilize this tool and i'm guessing they won't start now. pretty easy to straight tank DD w/o mana-wall already. with vex/attune and -40%+ DT

It's probably going to cycle with the updates. They already said they are going to change what you fight in Ambuscade every month.

All the light DD jobs were left out too, so we can assume next batch of gear will have BST on it along with NIN / THF / DRG / BLU / COR / MNK / PUP / ect. BST is one of those jobs that sometimes gets lumped in with the heavy armor DDs, sometimes with the light armor DDs, and sometimes both.
