MDT is not hard to cap on PLD, i actually have gear for shell 4 and 5 and shellra 5 capped in merits

Shellra V (capped merits) = 27.34% MDT
Twilight Torque
Creed Cuirass +2
Minerva's Ring

Shell V = 24.2%
Twilight Torque
Creed Cuirass +2
Minerva's Ring
Nierenschutz

Shell IV = 21.9%
Twilight Torque
Creed Cuirass +2
Minerva's Ring
Nierenschutz
Dark Ring

so all you really need is a total of 5 items to cover MDT for solo to having a WHM, the rest of the slots you can stack MDB

i use minerva's ring but others say its useless but your choice
Oh wow ty, that was usefull.(don't have minerva but I guess 2x mermain's rings will do it D:)

Dark ring is MDT-5 and PDT-4.

Thats the set im using think im about 3% off MDT cap only thing im missing is aegis but im on the last stage for that anyway. I could switch in the DT-2 legs or the DT-3 waist. MDB is at +23.

ok assuming we got to "87.5%" cap with aegis would we be better off filling the remaining pieces with AF3+2 rather than MDB for the chance of an absorb effect? Which would reduce damage most? If it depends on mob then pick a Voidwatch T3 or 4 NM. This is probably where paladin gets its best use at the moment.

but its 15 levels higher then the last MDB back and has +1 more MDB! IT MUST BE GOOD!! Everyone knows that lower level gear is totally crap and should never be considered to use, only the highest level gear is deemed worthy for actual use.

Not an earring suggestion, but engulfer cape probably better than salvus
Only mdb earring is Static earring, but ya...
Maybe use twin merman's earrings and change out the helm or the neck for mdb?

Yep, but if you don't have a nocturnus mail now... You're never getting one. Ever.

This will be my set once Aegis is done soon.



I currently use this set till then:



Shikargar is MND+11, MDB +11
Dark Rings are both PDT-6%, MDT-6%
Resentment Cape for post Zilart areas
Lamia Mantle +1 for < Zilart areas

Both sets with just my own Shell IV put me near/over cap
