Shadow mantle is not always the best to tank in. boxer wins if your soloing, exp party. valor wins on hnms while /nin tanking. shadow can be used while /war over valor. gigant wins for max hp set(for spirits only).
valor wins for /war or /nin kiting.
for those with Aegis i think that shadow or valor could be mained due to Aegis capping shield proc rates without skill+
there is no one peice of equip for pld in any slot except Aegis ofcourse D:
if you have any intrest of not sucking you will macro each peice in for each situation and please dont main 1 mantle (or anything for that matter) for everything, you may not feel stupid or gimp but you are in the eyes of any experienced pld.
