Turn 5 Downed by JP Group? Exploits or Legit?

[Sephirah]

He's not talking about "base" health, he's talking about health between paladins and warriors considering paladins do not get a self buff for their health like warriors do. You ever seen a warrior with 2k+ health than a paladin in equivalent gear? well that's all because of that magical defiance buff that you seem to have failed to notice since you think the health between pal/war is the same. Please do not say "well my health without defiance is the same as a paladins", well guess what if you aren't using defiance as a warrior you're a bad warrior if you're tanking anything(paladins do not get a health buff with their enmity buff like wars do).

Thank you.

Also Faction, assuming you did have 5.8k with 4 pieces of AK gear (without defiance), I'm assuming those 4 pieces were your neck/ears/wrists/ring. Because the difference in VIT on AK accessories and DL is 2 per piece, or 8 VIT. Which would net you a total of 116. If all your other gear was DL then this sounds about right. However I get the feeling you only said "4 pieces" to give people the impression you were wearing the helm/chest/legs/boots from AK. And assuming you were being a "good" warrior and using defiance, that would bring that 5.8K upto 7.25K. Paladins do not get this luxury.

Fact of the matter is, obtaining HP of that lvl is not possible without a good amount of your inventory being above AK. It doesn't have to be every item, but saying someone wearing an AK tabard can't legitimately clear coils is just flat out wrong. (EVEN THOUGH this wasn't a legitimate kill, if that HP got him through turn 4, then chances are it'll hold up for turn 5. Edit - and just to be clear, I'm not saying that having the highest HP possible doesn't HELP, obviously the more the better :P)

To give people a baseline to compare, I have all 30 of my bonus stats in VIT, I have my relic sword/shield, both +1, and all my gear is DL, except for one of my rings and my necklace which are from AK. With the increase from food/party, I'm at 5865ish HP. Replacing that necklace with DL will MAYBE get my hp to break 5.9k, but that's about it. Past that a Paladin has nowhere to look for upgrades aside from Coils, AF2, or crafted items.
