A single simple solution to Paladin

who gives a shit about hate, that's not an advantage

Most of the things that make WHM survivable are below 37, let alone 45. Stoneskin lasts a lot longer on a PLD (with its grown-up shields) than it does on a WHM.

There's "sturdy," and then there's "bulletproof." PLD/WHM doesn't care if it steals hate.

Because I was totally talking about Stoneskin and Blink.

A good WHM is rocking high/capped PDT, high/capped MDT, capped Cure Potency and capped Cure Speed at the appropriate times, with the ability to cureskin and cast Cure V and Cure VI.

WHM is the single most invincible job in the game in Abyssea, and is a hell of a lot sturdier than most things outside too.
