The Problem with Paladin

[Phobos]

I don't understand how people are still ignoring the fact that JOBS ARE MADE FOR PARTIES.

You are not supposed to be self sufficient while on a job.

You are not supposed to be able to Take all the Damage, Deal all the Damage, Heal all the Damage and Recover MP all at once.

If your Paladin is running out of MP, your Bard is not Doing his job.

I get what you're saying, but the fact is PLD does nothing useful that GLA can't, and even if you have a BRD GLA still recovers more MP than PLD does, and uses it basically the same.

The only thing PLD has over GLA is AF and a bigger heal, which is basically just replacing Second Wind which is now free.
