PB, on my Paladin (if I had 4th job skills maxed which I don't):
22% - WDEF
1% - Iron Body
17% - Shield Mastery
9% - Achilles
25.5% - Power Guard
Guardian and Divine Shield are fairly effective too, of course.
Divine Shield with 24% chance of activation (max level of 12) activates on average every 4.15 attacks and blocks the next 6 attacks.
Throw in Guardian and it takes Divine Shield 7 attacks to activate, making the breakdown
46% - Divine Shield
21.5% - Guardian
8.7% - taken as damage
8.16% - Power Guard
7% - wdef
5.44% - Shield Mastery
2.88% - Achilles
.32% - Iron Body
In order, these are - 4th, 4th, -, 2nd, -, 3rd, 4th, 1st job skills.
The real weak link here is Achilles. For 30 points it's really trashy.
Then of course there are bosses where Threaten does work.
46% - Divine Shield
21.5% - Guardian
9.6% - Threaten
6.09% - taken as damage
5.71% - Power Guard
4.9% - wdef
3.8% - Shield Mastery
2.02% - Achilles
0.22% - Iron Body
This analysis assumes that attacks are infrequent enough for Divine Shield to be maximally effective. If you're getting ticked for damage every 2 seconds (as is the case in body hugging), you get 9 hits Divine Shield can't block, for a 22 attack cycle.
In that case,
29.3% - Guardian
27.3% - Divine Shield
11.12% - Power Guard
11% - taken as damage
9.6% - wdef
7.4% - Shield Mastery
3.92% - Achilles
I think that's enough alternatives for now. Not gonna get into player Avoidability cause it tends to be fairly low.
Final fun number thing:
2100 mesos = 40% hp potion = 7632 hp = 87700 damage taken from PB (or, the 1 touch damage that gets through defenses)
So each pot lasts about 7.6 seconds when hugging PB - in an hour that's 472 Ginsengs.
So a full PB fight should be under 1 mil mesos in hp pots...
