Is this one type of god gear ive seen crimson gear, Koenig gear but never anythin g for the whitemages is there some type of gear for whm of this stature?
This isn't god gear, which is useable immediately, like Kirin's Osode, Byakko's Haidate, etc. This is made using an abjuration to uncurse a piece of armor. The abjurations drop from certain HNMs and gods.
WHM can use the Aquarian Abjurations which uncurse pieces into Zenith Gear. The head and legs are good for whm, body is ok. The hands are really suited for BLM, maybe RDM too for bursts.
My LS leader has Full Koeing gear and I'd like to put to rest this whole big argument.
A PLD with Full AF or Adaman will hold hate BETTER then someone with Full Koeing in an exp PT. On a HNM where it can take up to 3 hours to kill a PLD with Full Koeing with Hold Hate FAR better then any other pld with any other type of armor.
Here's the facts:
Squre Enix said that CHR does not effect Provoke and other job ability's. What it does effect is the time it takes for that hate to ware off. In an exp pt where fights are very short there isnt enough time to build up enough hate.
So, After 10 Mins of Voke Flash and JA's, a PLD with +60 CHR will have build up alot of hate, a BLM can build up alot of hate but that will dispers faster and won't stack as much.
So in conclution, CHR Effects Emnity reduction time, it does not how ever effect how much Emnity you will receive from any action you perform.
Koeing Armor is for Long Fight NM's. AF is better over all for exp pt's. If you have had a PLD tanking Fafnir for 1 hour, you will have trouble trying to remove hate off them if they have High CHR, but at the start of the fight its no problem.
I have never seen a PLD Tank Fafnir and live that didnt at least have some form of +CHR gear. The PLD will take so much dmg that the whm's will end up building up alot of Emnity and getting killed which in turn kills the PLD, with Enough CHR and Build up of Enmity the PLD can Hold hate.
I mean I don't even have to say this guy's, I mean why the heck would Koeing give +60 CHR if it does nothing? SE doesn't do pointless thing's.
Here is EXACTLY what SE said when someone interviewed them asking what CHR affects.
Q: "Does charisma affect hate/enmity(aggro)? Or is it only for Bard songs and Beastmaster charms?"
SE A: "The charisma attribute score does not affect hate or enmity(aggro). It does, however, affect how a bard`s songs and a beastmaster`s charm ability are not only used but also resisted. There are also weapon skills that are greatly affected by charisma."
THEY ARE NOT BEING TRICKY. THEY ARE NOT BEING EVASIVE. THEY ARE TELLING US THAT CHR ONLY AFFECTS CHARM, SONGS AND CERTAIN WS'.
This is so incredibly frustrating. If I were an SE rep I would go (Ballista) on everyone claiming otherwise. Is it possible your tank had so much hate after 3 hours because he was producing three hours worth of tank-caliber hate?
*EDIT* People hate hearing the truth, apparently, as I've been rated down for showing it.
i can tell you for a FACT that CHR does effect hate/ or hate generated by Provoke, if you have ever used a Jaco-O-Lantern (Acc+10, Eva+10, CHR-10) while tanking you will know what i'm talking about.
As a war/nin in a pt and another war/nin (basically with similar gear) the one that doesnt have CHR-10 will end up tanking b/c provoke will not generate enough hate.
My question is... does CHR affect the amount of hate generated when using Cure spells also or does it only affect JAs?
If anyone has any experience regarding this topic that could shed some light on my query it would be appreciated!
Enmity doesn't pool, it flows. As time passes, enmity from any action that created it fades.
What's little known, is a mob doing damage to the hated person actually causes this to happen even faster. So ninja who block all of a mob's attacks kind of "stop up" the flow of enmity as the fight continues, this is pillar of how ninja are even able to tank at all.
I would venture to say that you are the uneducated one. CHR has a direct effect on enmity and its duration.
No one wants a charming PLD. So get off your high horse on bashing people. He seemed a lot more intelligent with his question than you did with your uneducated reply.

Posted:Mar 22 2007 at 2:32 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) apparently you don't READ, CHR HAS NO EFFECT ON ENMTIY! It helps WS dmg and killer effects, THAT'S IT GDI!
How about this? CHR just means to a PLD that they look good in it. ;p You know, Charisma is just a way of saying "You look good". Saying that a Holy-ish kind of figure in nice shiny armor would look "pretty" to me. You like how that person looks, especially going for a PLD AF, they look good in it.
Why are people continuing to argue that CHR adds enmity? It doesn't. It has been officially announced by Square several times. CHR is for brds and bsts, and it helps with the intimidation rate of the various 'circle' job abilities.
Valor set is much more practical than this. You need enmity, sorry, but you do. 2 Hades Earring +1s, Kaiser Shield, Mermaid Ring? Sorry, you need more.
You realize that the koenig armors have CHR+, which enchance provoke, right? With full koenig one will have 60+ Charisma.
Yes, Valor is more useful for anything else not HNM, but koenig is basically designed for this. A lot of HNMs are kited anyway, so the pld's not going to melee to keep hate in addition.
I just wanted to point out that the STR drop isn't that big a deal, if a PLD relies on attack power to keep aggro... I dont wanna sound rude but that makes for a pretty horrible PLD... the counterbalance for the STR drop is in the CHR, which really helps you keep aggro, its not just for BRDs and BSTs... It helps give more 'umph' to your maintaining of enmity. A BRD/WAR w/ its high CHR could prob pull a mob off a main WAR with a voke, unless its the maube 3rd voke... either way, the STR is counterbalanced by the CHR, id rather have CHR+ than STR+ anyway, i agree w/ Ixi, let the BLM do the dmg...
Guys I just wanted to pass along the information on how to get this armor since I have found a lot of people still don't know how to get this and I just found out and wanted to pass this along. Good Luck
this is no doubt a very good armor for a PLD to have.....I myself still dont know how to aquire it..but I believe that it isnt the best EXP gear du to the fact that it has no enmity boost and dealing minumal DMG isnt gonna get hate....nevertheless I would like to add it to my collection because it is very useful......but I doubt i would exp in it if other gear was available
well i ve found some usefull info for those who d liek to know more about Relic's and Af2, go to this website : http://mysterytour.web.infoseek.co.jp/ffxi/us/equip/46abjuration.htm <- very helpfull tho!
OH SWEET MOTHER OF GOD I WANT THIS!!!! Seen the full set in a screan its absoultly hot. to bad with the total set your vit jumps like 80 but every other melee stat drops about the same..sure would miss hitting for more then 12, oh and actually hitting due to the lack of dex! In my mind as a PLD..its so worth it!
The -STR doesnt matter, one of the abjurational swords does damage depending on your how high your HP is, not depending on STR. Its the DEX that sucks and im sure theres a loop hole about it somewhere. And you get it by un-cursing the matching cursed gear, you have to get certain kinds of abjurations for each piece. HNMs drop the abjurations (Fafnir, King Behemoth ect.). For the record the Valor set is not PLD Relic, its PLD AF2, differance.
My mistake, the sword I was talking about is a PLD/RDM Relic sword
Relic and AF2 are the same thing, though the weapons are the only things that are actually ever named "Relic" (example: Relic Sword, Relic Scythe, etc.), but the armor is still Relic.
A warrior wouldn't want this armor because of debuffs on STR and DEX. So, PLD will get priority. This armor is from removing curse from cursed armor. You need to get an item 'Abjurations' from killing HNMs such as Fafnir and King Behemoth.
Valor set is much more practical than this. You need enmity, sorry, but you do. 2 Hades Earring +1s, Kaiser Shield, Mermaid Ring? Sorry, you need more.
true, you do need enmity, but you can NOT turn this down or say that it is less practical than valor. trust me, my best friend is a lv 74 PLD whose been conniving about what his end-game armor will be for a long time.
here's what you do: take full koenig armor, get rid of the schaller, and replace it with Aegishjalmr (enmity +7). then, get Hercules' Ring (enmity +3), and finally get a Kaiser Shield (enmity +4). 14 total enmity added and you still get +50 VIT and CHR. in my opinion better than throwing out this full set and replacing it with valor.
Talk about making the Paladin even more of a tank who can't do crap for damage! -10 to str/dex!! But that +20 VIT means you take a lot less damage. And theres that CHR bonus...
