I plan to equip a Powerful Amdarais Card with a +15 armor. The advantage is Def + 150. The disadvantage is Flee - 30. Is this reduction in Flee significant enough to affect my character's performance detrimentally? Will Def + 150 compensate for Flee - 30 after everything has been considered? Is this trade-off between Def and Flee worth it?

worth when you got bijou and no flee

I can get Bijou Card. But the flee penalty is unavoidable.

Come on guys. I need your opinions. This is important to me. Either I get formidable gear or I save plenty of Zeny.

It's hard to say if -30 Flee is bad for you or not. I mean, if you had 1000 Flee already, then -30 is no big deal. If you only had 100 Flee then -30 becomes a problem.

 

(Note: the numbers aren't realistic, just an example to make the math easy for you to see)

 

Another note to think about is whether your character's build based around absorbing hits or avoiding them. If your other gear is chosen primarily to buff your defense, then the extra 150 defense points is a great choice and the loss of Flee isn't bad. But if your gear is mostly centered around giving you more Flee to avoid getting hit altogether, then -30 Flee is a bad choice for the setup you have.

 

Whether the card is good for you isn't something people can give you a good answer for without knowing the rest of the story. Make sense?

Flee is not something u really wanna invest into. I personally dont like relying on it. if u want to dodge a hit go for perfect dodge instead.. With flee no matter how much flee u got u will still get hit based on how many monster u are tanking at the same time.

flee? i guess it's not that important cos most monsters hit you anyway

[Ashuckel]

regardless of the flee penalty, the def itself is not worth an armor card slot


for flee, it'd depend on classes using it, against what, scenario, etc.
It may be completely irrelevant if the monster you are fighting already goes through your flee, or if you are killing groups up close(flee penalty when mobbed).
If you have the flee for mostly dodge monster attacks and are not getting surrounded often, it minimizes the amount of hits taken and makes navigating around more smooth.

It's also dependent on your current Hard Def total, 500 Hard Def is the adequate to reduce received damage to 50%, nowadays 1.2K Hard Def is attainable, reducing physical damage to around 30%, Flee ain't important if you're mobbing to level up anyways. and if it's for MVPs other armor cards may be much more useful.
