We don't have the defense that a Paladin has, but I can pop a few CDs and take -60% damage, which ain't bad. Some of the endgame stuff hits extremely hard, and I've watched Paladins burn to a crisp on Ifrit, while I dance around in the flames with thousands of HP left xD
Actually the base defence of WAR and PLD is exactly the same. Only difference is block. If a PLD fails to block they take the same damage as a WAR. Wearing the same gear of course.
