Will you still take a lot of damage if you have both Palisade and Rampart on cooldown? I dont have burtgang yet, your idle set shows brilliance being ranked higher than sakpatas, would I want to use sakpatas if im tanking in ody c over brilliance?
I don’t rely on Rampart or Palisade for staying alive — they’re mostly aggro tools in my setup.

Rampart does give -25% SDT, so it's a nice extra layer, but not something I depend on.

Palisade technically boosts block rate, but outside of very specific cases (like Crawler’s Nest [S] with 100 mobs while recasting Phalanx), I use it strictly for enmity.

If both are down, that’s fine — as long as:
• DT is capped (50%)
• Phalanx is active
• Your shield is doing its job

Depends on a few things:

• Are you DT capped with Brilliance?
• Do you switch weapons across sets?
• Does Sakpata's Sword help cap DT on other sets like Cure?

Golden rule: never go under 50% PDT/MDT, no matter the set.

Brilliance is listed for its +14 enmity. It has little defensive value (DT -3%).

If you’re capped and don’t swap, it’s fine.
But if you already use Sakpata in other sets, and want to keep the same weapon, Sakpata's Sword is a great pick (DT -10%).
If it helps cap other sets too, even better — just stick with it full-time.

I don't have a ton of experience tanking yet but I have most of the gear funded through my bard. I entered into Ody C before on my PLD but I still took a f* ton of damage. It was better when I had Phalanx up, and we had no bard to give me defense or haste so everything felt slow. But I still don’t really know what to do to just be able to stand there for every group of mobs like I’ve seen other paladins do lol
If you noticed it felt better with Phalanx up — that’s not a coincidence.
Phalanx isn’t a bonus — it’s core to PLD tanking.
It cleans up what DT/block doesn't catch, and often means the difference between taking 30… or taking zero.

So yeah, without it active, you’ll always take more.
Even geared PLDs forget sometimes — but you feel it instantly and hit that macro like it’s an emergency button.

Quote:
It's been like 6 months since I tried going in on PLD just to see but that is what i remember happening to me as well. Gettings absolutely destroyed unless i pulled with sentinel which obviously you cant have that on all the time. when you pull, do you try to drag them against the wall so you can block most? or just run to your squad, turn around and block what you can and have the brd sleep?
that’s a great optimization move when your group is tight and everything’s in sync.

But for a PLD still building up, or not 100% confident in their defensive flow yet, it can go south fast.

Don’t just copy what you see in “bis” speedrun setups —
adapt to your own group, your own pace, your own stability.
The real goal is a clean run, not necessarily a fast one.

And one day, when you start feeling your DT in your bones and everything clicks,
you’ll look at your group and say:
“I got this.”
And that’s when you go pull the next camp
(just teasing — but hey, there’s some truth to it)

The goal is to not die.

Stack defense at max DT/PDT until you don't die. Moar phalanx.

There is no defense value you can get that is too high.

The tl;dr version.

With phalanx/cocoon/pro 5 and a high def/capped DT you should be largely safe until the last 1-2 floors, if you need to hold for a good length of time or just want some extra buffer brd can pian a couple minnes.

Really just gotta watch that cocoon/phalanx dont drop though and have a pana for if you get smacked with def down and cocoon isnt off recast/wont overwrite. Any of those happen and dmg can spiral quickly

we’ve already had this discussion. Mijin Gakure has nothing to do with Ground Tanking.

Mijin Gakure = last-second self-destruct, pure panic.
Ground Tanking = deliberate horizontal calm, total aggro reset and party focus. Two different worlds!

Yorium cuirass in Phalanx set is showing SIRD +10 and Phalanx received +3.

Can you get both? Wiki says need different stones for each of those buffs.

Rolled these today, I had no idea chance to block could roll so high on dark matter augs.

Is there any reason to take even such a high "chance to block" augment on odyssean gear for tanking in, or is it's lack of Meva/mdef still just not worth it?

I feel like it could, maybe, be very good for cleaving apex+ tier enemies, perhaps? Stacking a ***tonne of block chance gear to keep block chance high against much higher level targets.

That doesnt have capped block chance on locus mobs does it?

Martel reported 83% block rate on apex cogs here https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Abyssea_Lights

I think locus is even a bit higher, we'd be at, what, 80% block rate or so on them? 81%?

Does block rate have a cap, or does it go to 100%? I've never paid attention personally.

The cap is 100% for block rate, but it depends on the level/skill of the mob attacking you. Apex and Locus are too high. You'd need something down around the 100s IIRC

Too high for what? Martel's linked results straight up show ~83% on top end apex, which means you could prolly hit 100% block rate then on locus, theoretically.

I assume he's saying too high to hit 100% block rate. I'm not sure what set the 83% was in, if he had reprisal or pallisade up, or any other conditions. It may be possible to get 100% block rate on them, I'm not really sure what the point of the discussion is though.

Yes, 100% block rate is possible, on some enemies. Maybe most. Possibly all. It's rarely worth adding block rate gear because it's uncommon, mostly competes with other gear with vastly better stats, and as you pointed out here, purely physical hits are rarely, if ever, the most dangerous thing facing a PLD. If you're truly at risk and need to block to stay alive, capping recast on reprisal and keeping it up 100% of the time is much, much, much more effective than putting on block rate feet or gloves and dropping DT, DEF, HP, MDB, and meva for it to block 3 more hits out of every 100.

Keep in mind that blocking a tp move blocks all additional effects (so any death, doom etc). Now I forgot if that also works for en effects on regular hits.

What do you mean what do you mean?


*edit
Just for clarity, I wasn't disputing anything Martel said. I didn't see anything he said about 83% in the link you posted.

Earlist thing i saw if you convert the +75 skill into block rate thats another +17 roughly ontop of the +14 youd need already to "just barely" cap on a 150 with reprisal up

if i were to pick a piece to use a DM block+ piece itd probably be the head as that's the least invasive, the emp+3 head is probably the next best as far as pushing block rate, still losing a fair bit defensively not using sakpata/emp+3 in def/meva/dt

Having 100% block rate was importsnt for cleaving crawlers nest and achievable with only a little gear with priwen you just had to maintain reprisal at all times. Duban made this far easier and safer as you still have a good rate if you ever accidentally let reprisal drop.

Aegis block rate is way behind. Priwen skill alone more than makes uo the difference in size then the reprosal bonus is massive as well.

Please reread my post. That whole thing was about capping block rate without Reprisal. With Reprisal and stage 2 Duban you'd cap on a 150 mob with no master levels, no extra skill, and no block rate+. <,<

ML43, stage 2 Duban, skill+75 in gear, block+14, would just barely cap without Reprisal on a 150 mob.

So is the final answer that "+8 block rate DW augment doesn't do anything for cleaving locus mobs"?

Better to stick to empyrean "chance to absorb" while pulling?

Sadly, blocking cannot prevent additional effect damage or status effects on regular melee hits.

Note, regular melee hits. If the mob has physical WS type melee, like Iron Giants for example, then you can prevent those on hit effects(the stun, amnesia etc). Although... not the knockback, oddly. That goes through blocks.

Also, while rare, hybrid ws can still confer debuffs even when the physical hit is blocked. Although, the only case for this I can actually think of right now is Searing Serration. Even if you block the physical hit, the magic hit will still stick the stat downs on you.

If you're maintaining reprisal, and using Duban stage 2 or even Priwen. Then probably not.

I think I'm either capped or within 1~2% of capped at Nest[S] without even focusing on skill/block+ and that's without reprisal. Mind, that is with stage V Duban and ML 45. The point is just that this is attainable without any DM augs, much less stacking them. Also, meva is still relevant for nest[S] cleave, as once they start using TP moves, there's a lot of breath attacks and debuffs. Silence, para, etc.(I suppose it depends on which mob types you pull though. Skip the funguars, lol.)

If you're trying to cap block rate without reprisal for some reason, that piece can contribute. Just be mindful of what stats you're losing for it. And if you have R30 Sakpata feet.. they have block+5, so you only have a gain of 3 on those Odyssean feet.

Oh, btw, max DM aug block plus is +10.

I do still carry this block+ piece. And I have an all-in block rate focused set that uses it. But... actually using that set is pretty rare.

Yeah. It was fixed in April of this year. I've not heard any complaints of it happening again so I'm assuming it's actually fixed.

Does anyone have a recent lua that works? My lua file got corrupted and I can’t seem to make any of the other luas work after assigning priority to the gears. ?

Dipping my tie into PLDing: I made an Aegis and Burtgang, those both make sense to me. Why is Duban good at the second stage? All it has on it is shield skill. Is that really enough?
