~First And Final Line Of Defense V2.0~

If you need accuracy in the Ring slot, I personally think Ilabrat Ring is better than Chirich +1. Not quite as much acc, but it gives +25 atk.

Honestly though, the best thing you can be doing is getting segs and RPing that Nyame. I know that sucks, but Nyame is legitimately amazing.

Another Ring Option for PLD is Beithir Ring

Souveran head will get you killed in super high content. Still tweaking but this is what I use.
sets.midcast['Healing Magic'] = {
ammo="Staunch Tathlum +1",
head={ name="Souv. Schaller +1", augments=

hands="Macabre Gaunt. +1",
legs={ name="Founder's Hose", augments={'MND+2','Mag. Acc.+7',}},
feet={ name="Odyssean Greaves", augments={'Mag. Acc.+7
"Mag.Atk.Bns."+7','"Fast Cast"+6','"Mag.Atk.Bns."+10',}},
neck="Moonlight Necklace",
waist="Audumbla Sash",
left_ear={name="Tuisto Earring", priority=2},
right_ear= "chevalier's earring +1",
left_ring="Defending Ring",
right_ring="Janniston Ring",
back={ name="Rudianos's Mantle", augments={'HP+60','Eva.+20 /Mag. Eva.+20','"Cure" potency +10%','Phys. dmg. taken-10%',}},
}

Is there a known cap to status ailment resist?

90%

thank you!

Note that the 90% cap is applied after the 50% NM nerf, so it's possible to stack 180% of mixed all ailments and specific status resist, which is then nerfed to 90% on NMs.

dang I doubt its reasonable to incorporate enough -ailment gear that your just not a soft punching bag in sortie. ill just stick to mdb and magic evasion I guess. ty for the info on the 50% nerf for NMs.

It takes... a lot to get up there for NMs, and you wear some gross stuff. Even then you can only hit 180 for certain statuses that also have large chunks of specific status resist gear/traits.

Most of the time, I don't wanna wear all that junk anyway, but there are some cases that could be worth it, like charm if it's happening to often for fealty to cover, etc.

Nothing gets resisted in Sortie. As a PLD just hold hate and help cure.

Aminon just stack INT,meva,MDB as you get comfortable you can drop some for roller's ring and regain gear etc.

thanks for this, just gonna dump this idea and stack as much meva/mdb possible. thanks.
