    Cure amount is primarily based on your weapon. If you weapon sucks so will your heals. Get yourself an equal level green or higher quality weapon and just rotate between your utility CD.

    But as others have stated, if you want to really have self heals roll Warrior. They do it better.

    I mean, I don't have a relic, that's fur sure. I only have a Skirmish sword, but I didn't see self cures being worth it in beta.

    PLD Cure is pathetic, good weapon or not. It is in my leveling rotation, sure, but won't take a place on my hotbar when tanking.

    Very true, should have specified that it aint worth crap in a dungeon. It will though let you solo tank FATE bosses (at least through the mid 30's) without any other heals. Not sure about end game FATES since beta only let us go to 35 and Yoshi stated they would be significantly harder.

    I'd have to agree, even with decent gear my cures were 1/3 the potency of my WHM's cure in equivalent gear. I'm curious if it's just a matter of re-balancing.

    They both have different play styles but, so far, they are both viable tanks. If you like to see big damage and pissing off the target(s), then MRD/WAR is for you. If you like to stand there and laugh whilst enemies try to take you down, PLD is for you. Having both, means you can enjoy both aspects. It also means you can learn and understand just how each play, and that can be a useful bit of knowledge to have, especially if you are a raid leader.

    I only have experience of playing Paladin. I have 50 Warrior, but I got that at the end of 1.0 service, so I am missing AF and haven't used it. I find the mechanic very interesting, though, and much more so than 1.0's WAR.
