Coming up on the final push to 75 now. I have a feeling this is going to involve a lot of Imps... which is an interesting challenge due to their status effects. So far it hasn't been a problem, though a few times it did get messy due to me being both silenced and having amnesia xD
Now, the annoying part about PLD is that... unlike SCH, I can't quite get away with using nothing but AF and random pieces of gear that I had lying around... at least, not do that and be effective in events. So now I'm looking for some gear advise from people!
So far, this is what I have lined up for PLD75 (with key stats in parentheses):
- Head: Iron Ram Sallet (enmity +5), Gallant Coronet (enhances "cover")
- Body: Gallant Surcoat (vit+4, enmity +2) or Askar (str+5, Atk+12)
- Legs: Gallant Breeches (enmity+2), hoping for Homam Cosciales soon (haste +3%, fast cast)
- Feet: Gallant Leggings (shield skill +10)
- Hands: Homam Manopolas (enmity +3, haste +3%)
- Weapon: Macuahuitl +1 (enmity +4)
- Shield: Koenig Shield (vit+5, enmity+3)
- Ammo/Ranged: Bibiki Seashell (vit+4)
- Earrings: Suppanomimi (+5 Sword), Brutal Earring (Double Attack), Cassie Earring (vit+1, 50 HP, on loan from Vanh) and Ethereal Earring (3% damage to MP) when I get around to doing Apocalypse Nigh
- Rings: Hercules' Ring (enmity +3, latent regen/refresh), Rajas Ring (+str/dex)
- Neck: Parade Gorget (latent refresh), Harmonia's Torque (enmity+3)
- Waist: Swift belt (+haste), Warwolf Belt (enmity+3, vit+5)
- Back: Boxer's Mantle (shield +10)
What can I pick up to augment/replace things? Stuff that I can pick up from the AH, or various CP/IS/AN items preferred... If it's a rare/ex item, I'd rather it be something that I'd still use at 75 rather than something transitionary.
Suggestions?

Not sure how important it is anymore, but gear Def used to be really important for Pld... but then again, I haven't played pld since pre-CoP.
DEF and VIT are pretty much dead to PLD these days.
Gear is mostly relative to what you want to do. /nin need some more haste gear, like Turban, Loq Earring and Homam Feet and legs. You can macro these if you do not want to full time them. Also macroing shield+ is nice for Ichi casts. /rdm you might want some MDB+ or Magic%- stuff.
First though I would recommend +1 Gallant feet for more shield. Then once you replace all your other Gallant with either Valor or Homam you can store Gallant.
A mermaid ring is also nice for stacking enmity. I also use a Shield torque in some macros along with Koenig head, boxers and AF+1 feet for more shield+.
So more Limbus and Dynamis for you!
Picked up the mermaid's ring as per Wu's advise... also hit 68 so the Iron Ram's Sallet kicked in too. I have a crazy amount of +enmity for an exp party. Last night vs. Imps no DD could pull the mob off me... of course, we also had really crappy DDs, so this combination needs some experimentation.
Unfortunately, this combination also dropped my damage down significantly... Might change gear back until I finish exping before focusing on +enmity.
Oh, and... 1/2 for PLD AF+1 items!
Well, if you really wanna test how well you hold hate... I'll exp with you over break =P
If you REALLY wanna test it... get me a Brd that plays only minuets and/or a cor that uses chaos and ranger rolls... Course, that will probably result in dead ranger ; ;
I think there's a difference between a "good DD" and a silly RNG that pulls with Barrage :)
Got Homam Legs this past weekend, so I'm set for the leg piece... hand piece is set, feet are set... just need a decent body piece. Half considering re-doing the last ACP fight, though I do like my +enmity DNC outfit. Make it easy to pull hate from... erm... PLDs to show them how to tank... erm... @.@
lol, I can't help it people insist on WSing after i already used sharpshot and barrage to WS + Barrage kill the mob.... bastards
Alright! Sounds like a challenge! Me vs. you... you win if you die more than 3 times per hour of exp!
(though, I guess if you win, you lose!)
lol, you know I'll probably still do it anyway...
