Why is my damage so low?

If you want to feel like you are actually doing damage as a Tank Might I suggest a Job other than Paladin. I hear Warrior, Dark Knight, and Gunbreaker all have a better DPS feel than Paladin.

If you look at the logs all the tanks are very close to each other in damage potential. It would be better to play the tank you think is fun than the one that'll have that tiny bit more damage.

In general, anytime you hit a level cap for an expansion (50, 60, 70, etc.) there will be a large jump in damage potential. All of the patches between expansions increase the ilevel cap so you end up with a large range of ilevels at the level cap for that expansion. As you level up from 50 to 59 for example, the ilevel and gear level both gradually increase together but as soon as you hit level 60 you suddenly get access to 4 patches worth of level 60 ilevel upgrades at once allowing you to increase your ilevel a lot in a single go.

You must be cuter or something. . xD. I said that on the first page after investigating their quest progress and gear, seeing their gear was holding them back and even where they indeed said updating their gear was a help to the feeling they were having yet I'm the chocobo doodoo part of the sandwich on the first page lol.

It's that signature isn't it?!
