What do you presently use in each slot? Though you can have a generic answer from everyone, I think it'd be beneficial to see how much each one will actually improve you comparatively and go from there. Just a thought.

I think the "compared to" item is what he's currently using in each slot.

I think that depends on what you want to be doing the most.

Difference from change: +42 HP, +3 STR, +3 DEX, +2 VIT, +2 AGI, -10 Def, -3 INT, -6 MND, -3 CHR, -1 Enmity, lose enhancement to sentinal effect (can swap in though I'm sure if it's worth it, I honestly have no idea).



I'm not a high level PLD, so I'll let one who knows better chime in for what stats are best to upgrade. Wanted to give a better analysis of how each upgrade would exactly effect you. Hopefully someone who knows better than me will look at the stat changes from each upgrade and can let you know which piece will likely give you the best performance increase.

Hope this helps.

I'd go with the Cassie Earring if I were you. If you want hp for a mantle with some enmity you can't go wrong with High Breath Mantle. Use AF or AF+1 feet for anything you are straight tanking and AF2 for anything kited, and stick with Warwolf Belt.

Just a few suggestions.

Cassie is *ok* but for the bang, go for the RSE boots. You can use a Marid+1 on your back till you can afford Gigant, there's great alternatives with earrings (you can at least get 20 on each ear cheaply), and the RSE belt would help in the long run but you can afford to hold off for now.

The only reason I'd hesitate on the boots is that with the comming update, Sentinel enhancement might be more useful, but I guess it won't matter as HP/STR will probably be a bit more useful more of the time than 15 extra seconds of Sentinel, depending on your habits.
