What? Are asking which job you should be? That's entirely up to you. Read around in the job forums, make posts asking questions, and then decide. Besides, the beauty of FFXI is you can change jobs whenever you want. If you don't like your job go talk to your Moogle.

#3REDACTED, Posted: Oct 18 2005 at 8:03 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Pld do sux mostly. I perfer Nin over Pld. Why u say? Beacaues it makes it easier on the Whm and Rdm no need to Refresh him and less MP to cure. And only a noob Nin can not hold hate Ive seen Nin hold better hate than Pld.

After reading the OP's post..

I think he was the one that was smoking something, and it wasn't a cigarette, pipe, nor cigar.

Paladins rock. I love Paladins. Does that mean Ninjas and Warriors suck? Hell no. I've seen awesome Ninjas and awesome Warriors too.

To me ALL jobs rock in their own way. Why? Becuase this game rocks. I've played a little of all the jobs and I think they are all cool and intriguing.

Sure, that's a decent argument, until you factor in that any DD with HQ/nm equipment can and will pull hate from Ninjas constantly without a THF to SATA on the NIN, and subsequently cause the WHM to cure said DDs, further complicating hate control. Personally, I prefer PLD, as they have a lot easier time holding hate on their own, and if they do have a THF, nobody else will generally take any hits.

Oh, and before anyone says "Paladins suck because"...

I wanna remind you that just like Ninja and Warrior, Paladins have their niche.

Ninjas suck against MNK mobs. Yuhtunga/Yhoator Jungle, anyone?

PLDs have difficulty tanking HARD hitting mobs. Sickle Slash, anyone?

... Did anybody understand a single word he wrote?...

Okay, seriously, there is alot of Job bias in the game for pretty much ALL jobs, but I can tell you that anyone who has anything bad to say about a job does NOT know what they are talking about AT ALL... *Cough cough*

As you can see, some people might favor one job and totally deny any usefullness of other jobs. Usually only saying what makes their job great and not mentioning anything about the other job except that it sucks... Both NIN and PLD are great, anyone who says otherwise is moronic, plain and simple.

As Outlaw said, you can also change job anytime so you can sample all the jobs and pick the one you like best. Still worth checking the job forums to see what every job is like in the long run and to get all kinds of good info on equipment, abilities and how to use them, stuff like that. Good luck.

Just to add a different point of view to this issue- don't forget that having a Paladin tank in the party allows the damage dealers and nukers to dig in and bear down on the enemy that much harder... in-turn making faster kills and creating the possibility for longer experience points chains. So in the end, it all balances out.

Respectfully,
Goobs

PS- I play as all three types of tank- not just Paladin. Thus, my point of view is coming objectively here.

I did medical science can do:

Hello, I've been looking around and I see many people saying that Paladin sucks? Why is that? I'm confused, and Im thinkin that they are the best thing in the world. Well I want to know if I should use the job combination Paladin/Warrior. Hmm...I think I should but i'm also thinking about using Ranger/Warrior too. Ahh! don't forget drk knight and ninjs im thinkin to be one of them*** but Warrior stays as the sub job. I might change it later. Well, I need some ideas so please help me choose one of the following jobs: Paladin, Ranger, Dark Knight, or Ninja .....please help I am a bit lost.

*** : I was unable to differentiate what in the hell he even meant or was trying to say here. He must have had some reason to put it in there so I had to leave it in.

The edit button is your friend dude...

A tanking job that does damage would be Warrior.

Check out the job forums they can tell you more about all the jobs than any one person can post about them.

Wow, you must have nerves of steel to organize that gibberish. I tip my hat to you sir, if I had a hat that is...

It takes two letters to not look like a total douchebag in your title. "you", not "u".
