WOW Power Leveling: They have the ability to heal like the Mage and they can tank incredibly well
FFXI Jobs: Paladin - The FFXI Paladin is the 'holy warrior' of the Final Fantasy XI. With their incredible divine abilities, defensive capabilities, and melee aptitude, they make more than a match for the undead, which they aim to wipe WOW Power Leveling out from Vana'diel.
To unlock this job category you have to at least have a level 30, plus you have to complete the FFXI Paladin Flag Quest. (Which actually means three separate quests starting form Balasiel.)
FFXI Paladin Advantages: The Final Fantasy XI Paladin are said to be a mixture of a White Mage and a Warrior, they have the ability to heal like the Mage and they can tank incredibly well like a Warrior.
They boast an extremely good defense that is capable of taking many blows. They are able to carry almost every weapon in the game, and use just about every armor in Vana'diel. So effectively, they can be the best equipped unit around.
Final Fantasy XI Paladins have magical abilities which they can use from time to time, both to heal and to tighten up defense.
FFXI Paladin Disadvantages: A low MP means that they fall short of a primary healer mark, though they are great backup to have in any party.
