1.21a Paladin Ability Changes

[Gradd]

Basically PLD just needs a def boost...or rather SE needs to fix the defense formula. I also wonder if def requires an effective combination of def and VIT, like STR and attack. I know VIT by itself is pretty useless but combined with def I wonder if it has any increased merits as far as damage reduction goes.

I mean seriously SE had to have tested PLD, so I feel like there's something the community hasn't figured out.

The issue isnt how much Damage Paladin Takes, or if Paladin can hold hate.

Its the same stupid argument in XI and Paladin has the same exact issue in both games. Paladin is very much capable of holding hate and mitigating Damage.

But the main issue is, whats the point of bringing a Paladin if another job can hold its place while dealing damage?

The day SE understands and learns how to properly build an actual tank job is the day pigs fly. Because they have been failing at it for years.
