The Problem with Paladin

[Daniel_Fury]

I'd rather have more HP than better shield block rate. actually, to have over 3.7k~ HP you need stuff with materia (give up all AF), and food.

Not true. I wear the AF top, Gloves, and Crown and still have over 4k hp in a party so HP isn't a problem for me. However, chuck the gears on the warrior and get close to 4.9k hp. 4k is easily enough to tank the bosses with PLD no worries though. (As long as you dodge 100 Tonze Swing.)

The 100 tonze swipe is still easily avoidable, run between his legs and take no damage. If you make a mistake, like animation lock and are going to be hit, whm follow up Cura and PLD use Holy Succor to replenish HP as if it was a means of defence.
