It's funny. Paladin is a great job for a melee centric party. Rampart and Divine Veil help with heals, and the Paladin can also heal as well.

I can't tell you how many Ifrit parties I was in where the Healers never healed the DD's ever. I mean that's why they never let PGL/MNK into Ifrit parties. Since they take a lot of damage towards the end, the healers don't care. Well haha to the mages, I out dps'd as a MNK last night everytime.

I just wish they would tone down HOW much damage ranged can do. I mean archer damage can get really crazy and BLM stacked is just as crazy.
