Paladin or Bard for endgame...

[MirielleLavandre]

Hiya all,
I currently have a bard that is still missing a few DL pieces, but have the main ones, and also has a relic waiting for me once I farm up the philos for the oil. However, I also have an up and coming paladin (as well as the vermillion gear from WP to use) that is at lvl 46 atm. My question is which do you all think would be more worthwhile/helpful for endgame/coil and upcoming content? I know people request bards for their songs and silence, and the need for tanks is always there. I just wonder which would be more sought after/helpful. For background, I run a 'new player helping' LS on Leviathan and so would like the job that would help the most, not necessarily the one that would advance me the most personally. Thanks!!

Well if you are running a new player helping LS I would suggest a tank. Seems there are a lot of..how shall I put this nicely?...derpy tanks running around. Tanks also are almost insta-que for lower level content as well so it would be an enormous help to new players..and as for coil well if you have both bard and a tank ready that would also be pretty helpful.

As far as party dynamics and helping lowbies go, paladin is definitely the way to go. If you are trying to teach those same players how to speedrun or get their relics, bard will become useful then for the mages ballad and stun/silence. Otherwise, you can usually get by without a bard. The tank however is indispensable.
