this is what i have right now

Should be close to 20k no?

ok what should i do to get it up that high? any suggestions :confused:

Get better gear?

Once you're at level cap, he only way HP goes up is getting better gear.

Actually now that I see your gear, why are you wearing aiming accessories? You should be wearing Fending. Dexterity doesn't help you

ok what should i strive to get :confused:

See above post. Replace all your accessories with Fending accessories.

The stat you should look for is Vitality. That stat defines how much health you have. While most gear for all classes has some vitality on it, tank gear (as aforementioned Fending accessories) has most of it.

Vitality is for tanks
Dexterity is for bards, machinists and ninjas.
Strength is for dragoons and monks

Intelligence is for summoners and black mages
Mind is for healers

ok thank you for the information

You honestly don't need to worry about your hp if you have the recommended ilvl for the content you are doing. Just have the recommended gear and pop cds as neccesary for the tankbusters. Your hp will go up as you get more gear.

And have an actual tank gear, not some random crap just for meeting ilvl req.

Just recently got a Paladin to max level, as long as you're doing the natural progression of instances (ie following the iLVL req.) you'll keep up at a comfortable amount of HP. The thing to keep in mind is you'll never be close to a WAR in HP, they will always be 5-10k higher than you, to mitigate the lack of a shield and passive defense. Right now i'm sitting at about 23k when in an 8-man, and the highest i've seen Paladin HP go is around 26k.

For war, that's only when they're in tank stance. In dps stance, they don't have that extra hp. However, I do remember reading in a different thread some time ago that war has about 100 more base hp than pld and drk.
