    Paladin is a tank with the ability to support and heal the party, as it always was. Paladin can literally just stand there and constantly cure itself if it wants, keeping its health up and constantly generating enmity. Although its magic is weak, it's still enough to cause a difference in a rough battle. A single cure from a paladin can help a healer out or save itself from death.

    Pugilist doesn't make any sense to me for paladin and goes against the whole point of what a paladin is about.

Even in dungeons as low as Brayflox, bosses hit harder than you can cure, let alone in actual end-game content.
    Why would you need to heal yourself to full? You have a healer for that. Paladin is supplemental healing. I did some testing with Cure already on PLD and it worked fine for me so far. Second Wind has a cooldown, you can heal far more with Cure by the time it comes off cooldown. Paladin heals are for an emergency and to supplement the main healer. Warrior and pugilist cannot do that.
