As redmage I solo/tank a lot in campaign and I have to say these rock, just got the other day but love em already, may only be 2 a tic but add that to normal regen and you last a lot longer, good for any job that can use I think.
@ Xynthios: You might want to check these out for Chakra, they are sorta new but way better than Orcish Gauntlets.
