A single simple solution to Paladin

Tanks traditionally do not do well as healers and damage dealers. It is not strange that pld sucks at those and it wouldn't be a travesty if they were never given the ability to do such a thing.

Paladins do not suck at healing.

Most of the stuff you mentioned paladins can get by subbing the right job, so your argument is pretty weak. The only job in the game that gets cure 5 and 6 is white mage, so i guess by your standards all jobs suck at healing except for white mage...

Like i said earlier, people are so eager to say paladins suck at something they hold them to ridiculous standards. As i've said before and i guess i'll say again, just because another job does something better doesn't mean you suck.

WTF? Why would your tank sub WHM?

Um... Alienmonkey, we was talking about the paladin in a healing role, not a tank role.

Oh. Well dur of course it can be a healer if you sub WHM LOL. Bard/whm is most definitely better than pld/whm though, if you're talking /whm healers.

It is btw true that cure potency trumps healing skill. cure potency > mnd > vit > healing skill is the order of importance for stats when it comes to cures.

Divine Seal Curaga II. You know, the kinds of things true WHMs aren't supposed to do mid-fight.

More like the kind of thing any true WHM should be more than capable of doing without issue.

Word to the wise, WHMs are a hell of a lot sturdier than any melee on the planet (PLD included) assuming the operator isn't a cheapass. They also have boatloads of -Enmity gear if they do happen to be a cheapass.

If I could get Afflatus Solace from subbing WHM, my PLD would never sub anything else.

Dear Altana, that would crash the server!
