in FFXI, PLD has access to Raise so yeah, not unusual. BLM is known to use Black Magics and they don't have access to Raises, so no, very weird to give them a raise ability
Go play FFXI then?

I would never have guessed Paladin has access to white magic based on the naming conventions of certain spells and actions, nope...

The simple fact is, it would not work in FFXIV, Paladin is already over bloated with utility, it does not need more, nor does it need the damage penalty for just possessing a raise. If you haven't notice, the tank damage output balance has been beyond atrocious this expac, borderline HW levels bad and Paladin especially does not need a raise as stupidly suggested as in the OP, as rightly was said, it would never be used.

FFXIV is a game based around doing as much DPS as possible, especially at the top end of content, so doing something that will hamstring your job is terrible, and is not even remotely in line with job designs in FFXIV.

Further we already have enough jobs that have the capacity to raise, adding another raise on a job doesn't make sense practically.

I am well aware of BLM lore, my point was that the new caster may share in not being capable of a raise to give BLM a bit of competition as the selfish caster, not that BLM should be able to raise, I think BLM not having a raise is perfectly fine.
