I could go on and on.... but a very simple question. Playing this game on the PS3 - would a Paladin as my first 50 be reasonable? With someone with a decent head on his sholders - would tanking instances be very difficult?

Friend of mine suggested doing something like Dragoon first to learn the ropes in dungeons then after that lvl 50 do a Paladin.

This a good suggestion or am I just over thinking this and should just jump in the fire and start off with a Paladin as my first Job?

Thanks guys!
