VIT or MND

STR is useless. If you want STR level Warrior.

MND is beneficial because Paladins have MP and what good is it doing by not being utilized?

We have a 120 sec recast with 20 sec of 30% more healing, subjectively a hate producing tool.

With roughly 200 MND you should be able to cure for 400 or more, not counting criticals and abilities.

DPS of Paladin is pretty bad, Sprits Within is on a 30 second timer and TP better be spent on Shield Swipe, Shield Bash. Rage of Halone Combo cost 7 sec GCD, and against HNM you use Shield Oath.

Mitigation is very good with certain shields and a high base defense, but certain HNM AoE can not be blocked, or even stunned.

When tanking with multiple Paladins, a method needs to be devised to create hate.

Physick/Cure is my answer. With materia alone you can already benefit from wearing meldable armor.

A serious build with +30 MND in Skill provides a revised method of hate production.
