BRILLIANT for Paladin, the fense and stats are too good for LVL29, I'm wearing these currently at LVL56 PLD, only gonna switch them or AF at 58. Brilliant piece or armor.
I hope youre not relying on a war or pld's C rating in evasion too much. The main thing on these is the Def/Vit for the whole set, the Agi is more of a bonus (for a little more eva/parry/block) than something to rely on as a tank, unless you're Nin but it still takes a backseat to +eva stuff.
If youre not tanking go with Bastokan/Republic Subligar. You wont make anyone go blind since you're a mithra and you get +atk which is much more usefull than def/agi/vit if you never even get hit anyway.
it wont last that long, may b till 45 when u can get brigandine stuff. the DEF on this wont cut it at the higher lvls. but no doubt this is the sh*** for its lvl right untill 40's possibly
You'd take a DEF hit, but with those stat bonuses, I think these could last a Paladin til their Iron Musketeer Cuisses at 50 (DEF 28), if not the AF gear. Nice armor.
Currently ~70k on Shiva, will certainly drop in price as the expansion hype levels out.
I doubt it's gonna drop in price at all. These are a HQ craft and the stats boost rival to that of the emperor hairpin, for paladins. I am surprised it's not 150K and got the gloves for myself. I looked it up here and it seems those are better than the AF gloves. Uncanny.
