Shield Mastery II/III
Lv.50 Shield Mastery II and Lv.75 Shield Mastery III seems to be well documented. JP example. Going to remove verification tags on them. --Itazura 19:33, 11 August 2007 (CDT)

is trying to say? --Phaseone 06:20, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
What is some good armor for a Galka Paladin? I'm having trouble figuring out what i need.
Tanking in a Hauby
I've seen tonnes of people do this and I still have yet to understand why. In case no one has noticed it yet, PLD was not meant to be a DD job. All they're JA and JT are tank stuff for a reason. So why on earth would you be spending 100k+ on a body piece when you can get a proper tanking AF the very next lvl for free? If someone could explain to me what's so great about this body for PLD I'd be a very happy taru ~Boposhopo~
-PLD's are for tanking yes, but in the "modern" world of overpowering DD's and tp burns galore, PLD's have started having difficulty in holding hate. By equipping more DD items (Such as the hauby, sniper rings etc.) but not going too overboard (equipping their entire set in dd gear) allows for the PLD to do more damage. While this won't turn them into a true DD, it will allow the PLD to do enough to better keep up with the DD's and thus better able to hold hate. The Surcoat is an amazing tanking piece, and doesn't get replaced until the 70's, and even then for some HNM they still use the surcoat for its added hp, it doesn't add anything to accuracy or attack, which means that the PLD in full AF is severly lacking in those departments which are neccessary for doing enough damage to keep the mobs attention.
The counter argument is that a PLD should be able to hold hate without the need of enhanced damage, and I agree with this sentiment. I think that a PLD, especially with the new-ish refreshes they get (auto-refresh, sanction, Fields of Valor etc) there is no reason they shouldn't be using their cures to hold hate rather than their melee prowess. Still, if a tanking set works, the PLD is able to hold hate and mitigate enough damage that they arn't overburdening their healers, then I say go for it. ~Noreen
