Paladin job?

**vireblaze** · 03-10-2005, 10:02 PM

I was wondering...Do I need to be a Warrior to unlock Paladin?

You can be anything you want to. Just have to be level 30.

I can answer your question quite simply, if you do not sub Warrior as a Paladin, you will NEVER get any exp from a pt, I'm hopeful that not even Valkurm dunes noobs will invite you. PLD/WAR is ABSOLUTELY NON CHANGEABLE FOR EXP, WITHOUT WAR SUB YOU ARE USELESS.

To your actual question, it would be wise to play warrior to 30 as you can then level PLD to lvl 60 and have a fully leveled subjob, however you can use any job to get it as long as it's 30.

DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT NOT BEING A PLD WITHOUT WAR SUB.

The rant isn't directed at you, but I've noticed a hell of a lot more War/whms slipping through the dunes into Qufim/Kazham without being stopped and forced to change sub or delevel to 1. The only way to stop it is to do as I do with my whm, refuse to pt with them, one guy today was a freakin' Galka War/Whm the "It's only until I get 30 and XXX job" doesn't work with me. War/Whm = No Exp.

I don't want Warrior sub, I want Black Mage sub when I'm a Paladin. I'm like a...Magic/Fighting person. So I like to attack, but also to use magic to either use black magic to damage enemies, or white magic to help allies. *sigh* The truth is...I don't have FFXI. I want to get it, but the internet where I live is to slow... *sob* I want to play it SOOOOO bad!

That is so stupid. A Paladin is a tank, in order for your Paladin to tank properly you'll need a Warrior subjob so you can use Provoke. Damnit.

Go RDM if you wanna be a magic/fighting person.

*reads the rest of your post*
Oh, okay. Nevermind.

**vireblaze** · 03-11-2005, 07:00 PM

Paladin is basically a Holy Knight class, and that's why I like it so much.

*patpat*

**vireblaze** · 03-11-2005, 08:10 PM

Never in my life have I played on online video game. I so want to try this one out, because I love Final Fantasy.

**Citizen Bleys** · 03-11-2005, 09:20 PM

Nevertheless, if I ever saw a pld/blm with an invite flag up, unless they had a comment that clearly proved that it was a joke, I would blacklist them immediately.

**Lionx** · 03-12-2005, 01:59 AM

Jobs in the MMO world need to be balanced and have a role they excel in. Otherwise, it would be a RDM before they get Refresh and Dispel in their spell list that other mages dont have. Uninvited because why do we need a RDM when a WHM and BLM can do all your jobs better? Because you can do em all? Bah just invite a real WHM and BLM and get better results.

A PLD is a tank that can hold hate the best, hence they will need a WAR sub because WAR is the only job that has the ability of Provoke. Without it, you cant hold hate well enough. PLD/BLM is good for solo only when you need to Warp.

Your support job, is to support your main job. Hence a PLD/BLM does not work in a party situation.

If you want to do what you listed, be RDM or a DRK. A PLD has crappy attack anyway as Sword does not do alot of dmg, and in a PT they invite you to be a tank hence you will focus on Defensive gear and not Attack.

Hi!
Just a question about Paladin weaponry. Since I've read that Paladin should equip sword+shield am I gonna be screwed since I'm using axe+shield and gaxe for my Warrior? Should I go for sword instead of axe even as a Warrior?

*EDIT* Just one little thing, how do I know when my skill is capped?

**Citizen Bleys** · 03-16-2005, 12:24 PM

Not at all--Axe&shield / GAxe is the ideal combination for warriors.

Remember that you're going to be WAR30 before even unlocking PLD--it'll be easy to skill up your sword skill on Too Weak

to the point where it'll be capped as pld all the way to the Dunes. Once you reach party levels, you'll have no trouble keeping it capped in-party as you'll be using only one weapon. (Really, for melee classes, you should be able to keep at least two weapons capped. I have no trouble keeping Great Katana and Archery capped as a samurai)

**vireblaze** · 03-29-2005, 03:36 AM

I totally changed my mind. I wanna be a Samurai! Wohoo!

**Fullmonty** · 03-29-2005, 05:15 AM

umm... PL/WAR IS interchangable with PLD/NIN if you have a THF for TA. i did static with PLD/NIN from 60-75 and it worked great, used all his ablilities and ninja tools to keep hate and rarely lost it
