So, the slouch/custom set is much better since it provides crit and more health while the plat set provides dodge.

PvP-wise, it's definitely another story.
says you. In theory you become as effective as a commando and 90% as effective as a op in a boss fight. To my knowledge in all games the guy who can survive like a tank and deal damage like a machine is much more useful than a tank and a damage dealer separately
