I want to discuss this sphere versus phantom device for Rain.

Courage Aegis has a 5% advantage in HP and DEF, and probable 30% mitigation with an additional guard mitigation bonus of 20% when guarding, leading to a total of 50% under perfect circumstances.

Phantom Device has probable 20% mitigation and an additional 25% mitigation after 8,000 damage is taken, leading to a total of 45%. Slightly lower, but guarding is seldom.

I currently have a 50% HP elgif on Rain, but I also have Heavenly Recollection, which has an additional probable %25 mitigation, though it is currently on my Krantz.

What do you think would be the best elgif/sphere combination for Rain to make him as tanky as possible? I did not choose the 50% fire mitigation cheese build. I went with buffs and stat hoarding. 18,487 HP before spheres, damn.
