How to Build a PLD, needing tips plz.

[SwordCoheir]

What % of your points do you allocate to each stat?

example, STR 50%, VIT 20%, DEX 15% MDN 15% etc...... Whats the best rule to follow for a Paladin?

One more question, the paladin quest.... in order to become one. It ask for a party which is stupid IMO but at what level can you solo it?

Personally I wen't all out VIT and DEX. If you can afford it later on I would recommend investing in a STR/MND/Atk Setup for those cases where it's easy to hit the diminishing point on defense to increase your offense.

So still no str? I know there's an item to reset stats but how many copy of this can we get? I want to experiment with stats so i can figure out the best combination.

they should have someone in each guild reseting your points for gil and make that amount double with every reset so pple dont abuse it too much.

The Item in question you are talking about is the Goddess Hymn Tablet which you get each time you unlock a job. To use it, take it to your classes respective guild as said class and talk to them. I can't give you the specifics beyond that because I myself have not used them before.

That's so pointless. I know they want us to figure it out but then someone will do the math and find out how it works and post it on some website. The only difference it will make is that you gonna have to refer to the website instead of your in-game screen.... really stupid and pointless. Hope they change it in 2.0

They mostly do that to try and de-emphasize focus on min/maxing stats and allow players to be more flexible with their gear setups. I'm not sure if you've ever had the pleasure (or displeasure depending on your point of view) of playing FFXI, but these past five years it's less about going with the best you got and more "you must be prioritizing, gear swapping, and outputting to your maximum potential or your not invited" mentality.

Another noob question. Some pple tell me i should stay GLD till 50 and only then change to PLD as GLD can use skills from other classes which makes them better than GLD for soloing till 50. Is that true?

PLD is better than GLD at tanking and since all end game content requires a group... where does GLD fit in? Classes seem useless to me...

It's not all that bad advice really and to be honest it's probably more beneficial for all jobs to heed that advice. It's not that it's impossible to do, but jobs receive little benefit without all their abilities and are even more hindered by being restricted to two sub-classes and a maximum of 1 subclass ability every 10 levels. At least being as GLA or another class you have the benefit of equipping more abilities earlier on and are given the benefit of flexibility with your choices. However, if you don't have any other classes really leveled to take advantage of this it doesn't really matter either way.
