I think this is a Paladin issue. I actually quit FF14 from 2.0 to HW because i couldn't level gladiator anymore after 28.

20ish hours of gameplay i get a third attack button wooo!

Warrior is exhilerating at low levels. It all depends on the class.

Offensive wise PLD is snooze til later levels but it's defensive utilities and traits can't be available early game like clemency otherwise cheese.
