YOUR RIGHT!!! We should ignore It's VIT+15 and HP+50 cause It looks so ugly and not that a MNK or SAM (and yes PLD needs this but can't have it XP) would need it...BUT you shouldn't have this cause its ugly right???? and it is a good god piece...but its ugly so i shouldn't get it thanks for your help bye!
I sometimes use this fooling around when soloing . It sure does help if /NIN subbed and shadows drop while soloing or geting aggro . I wouldn't recommend using this in an exp PT or fighting HNMs , but as a soloing piece , its rocks .
IMO PLD should be able to wear this . I can see some instances when fighting certain sky NMs and HNMs where the +15 Vit could make a difference over koenig .
I don't think allowing PLDs to wear this would be too smart from the stand point that it would make the Koenig head piece useless. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure PLDs everywhere are drooling over this, but I think that's ur reason as to why they cannont. They have a dedicated set for VIT boost. Probably used for, as mentioned, farming, NINs tanking for that odd time they're caught with their shadows (pants) down, this will provide a bit of an HP sink and soften the blow a little until they can get back on their feet. Also good for WARs for macroing in for Steel Cyclone as it can be enhanced by VIT.
So then why is Koenig War/Pld.....This should be War/Pld as well...and your forgeting the +chr on Koenig, so yes in some cases this would be better but in some Koenig would be better.
i heard that w/ the new patch genbu's kabuto now has +10 vit! is this true? i haven't seen anyone w/ the kabuto since the patch so i can't confirm it myself, can someone else confirm it?
ppl always talk about how useful this is for monks/wars as it pertains to tanking, and yes, it obviously does. it is a crime that plds cant equip this. on a side note, rng can equip all god drops, and anyone on valefor who has ever watched sakura fight behemoth knows that brian(rng) tanks better than william(pld) lol.
More importantly, many Monk weaponskills (and WAR) have VIT modifiers. Better Chakra is great, but the fact that it will boost WS damage is the real reason a monk would want this.
35 def...... second best in the gaem, second only to koenig +50 hp... who dosent need more hp XD +15 vit = +7.5def, and UBER *** .... chakara XD put this with af1 body, and af2 hands u should be abel to chakara for over 400 hp... wich is umm UBER sweet
If I ever get to 75, I'd much rater have this over the melee crown, a MNK's "true" Relic Gear as far as I know. And for the reason stated...more VIT = more Chakra. And there's more defense. And I assume HP gain MIGHT be slightly more with 5%, but I'm not sure. STR of 5 isnt that big of a deal so late in the game...and Subtle Blow is pretty good, but not worth NOT being able to wear a turtle shell on my head ^^
Every 2 vitality adds to defense, but vitality and defense have different purposes. Read about it here: http://ffxi.crgaming.com/interviews/viewinterview.asp?Id=209
but it's level 75 lol...your tank won't be able to wear it for a while if you're still not at AF level yet...but it's nice to see the VIT and HP boost whoa...and that NM...

Posted:Apr 15 2004 at 1:22 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Wouldn't a paladin subbing one of those still be able to equip it? Looks like something good to me.
Every 2 VIT is equal to 1 def AND 1 less damage taken. I generally consider VIT to be like Def+1. Strength is the same thing, except every 2 is 1 atk and 1 more damage dealt.
