I was running Brayflox as my 32 Paladin. I had no real problems holding hate and if I lost it it was mine again in a quick second. But the problem is according to my group i was squishy. I had full 30 steel gear as my paladin and i had 2 pieces of cavalry gear. We beat the dungeon but the healer said he had to spam cure more then normal. I'm trying to figure out what could be causing this. Should i have not run the dungeon till 34? Should i have my materia set different? I use battledance and vit boost where I can. Should i socket str+? I admit i didn't have every single slot fixed with a materia. Maybe that's the issue? I just don't understand how im if geared for my lvl i was squishy. As far ass attributes i went with a 2:1 Vit:Str mix.

Please give me some advice because I've been a tank in every mmo since ultima online and hate to think that people think I'm horrid at my job.I live for tanking in mmos. I just don't see how I'm in full lvl 30 steel gear running a 32 lvl dungeon id be squishy.
