How are you "easily" capping PDT on war? 10% Dring 6%dark 19% Lbody and head 5% mantle 5% torque 4% from hands 5% from legs? I wouldn't call all that a small sacrifice when a Bravura War can practically tank like a pld and still do damage. Everything is situational but I love the idea of a Bravura War in my parties. They take hate and still live whereas many ukon/rags are dead pretty fast without PD.
The *** is this post?
You have 2% in ammo, 5-8% in head, 5-6% in neck, 2% each ear, 6-11% body, 4% hands, we'll say 12% from dark rings, Shadow Mantle, 4% from waist, 5% from legs, 5% from feet. On the low end that's 52% + Shadow Mantle, which gives you more than enough room to create mixed sets
if you actually need them. Hell, you can get 49% with Shadow Mantle and Nocturnus Helm without DRing or Odin II body.
Let's say...
Ukon/Claymore/---/Angha
Mekira+1/Wiglen/Darkness/Black
Mekira/Magma/Dark/Dark
Shadow/Phos/AF3/Phorcys
That's 40% + Shadow Mantle with 22% haste and 10% DA, and the only "hard" item to get is Mekira (which you can simply buy now). Technically you could add in Eisen Grip if you really want to (don't), or the -DT back. Dring adds 4% of course. You can do some optimizing on that set, but it's sufficient to make the point.
Also, tank like a PLD? Even "practically like" a PLD? Give me a break.
PS: post date matters. That post was way before news of PD nerf, not that it actually makes Bravura significantly more attractive.
