Lvl 40

[Ariesknight]

This is sort of spawning off that other lvl 40 thread.
I was wondering whether the IM parts one can buy at lvl 40 are worth getting as a PLD since they only boost Ranged ATK and Ranged Acc from what I've seen. Wouldn't RYl.Sqr.Mufflers which give 2+Acc be better?
Any other comments appreciated.

You could also ignore these strange bonuses and say it has the same defense as the other lvl 40 plate armor. ( Sallet +1, Plate leggings +1, Gauntlets+1 )

I would use Iron Musketeer's Armet for the +2 vit difference.

As for your hand example, if you think 8 def and +2 accuracy is better than 12 def for a tank then go for it.
