Now that's misinformation!
For your knowledge, there is no difference between the value of VIT for PLDs and WARs. Zero. None. Zilch. Shield Oath's damage mitigation is THE EXACT SAME THING as Defiance's bonus HP+bonus healing. The only difference is in the numbers you see. 25% damage mitigation works out to the exact same math as 25% more HP + healing. (Yes, PLD has +5% damage penalty on shield oath and Defiance has -5% less bonus healing than it does bonus HP but that small a difference doesn't fundamentally change the value of the stats.)

Accessories don't have anything to do with mitigation (except +parry which is a dump stat) and ALL tank sets of the same ilvl have defense, STR, and VIT in equal amounts. What in the world are you even talking about here?
