Part Two will go over the more advanced aspects of the job, DPS, and into how PLD works with other jobs. I figured it best to get the basics established first.
I too am super interested in your Holy II set for hits non-MB DMG. I have assumptions about how you do it, but also really look forward to see how you do it.
A very fair assessment of PLD; it's nice to see it get the spotlight. Thanks! I've been messing with dps PLD myself. It's been a ton of fun, and I can testify that it has some viability.
Someone else put it exactly correct, these job guides are so relaxing for some reason. I love watching and rewatching! So excited for part 2. As a tiny little request, can you please add the monk guides to your job guide playlist? 😅 I like to watch these from there but noticed it was missing
Rua, thank you so much for these videos. I was just going to bed and felt like watching a job guide. It relaxes me in some odd way. I can’t wait to pick up the stix again, I am a decade veteran who phases in and out, but watching your videos keeps me “in the loop.” I miss nin/brd tanking. That’s old shit
As a Paladin in the game I feel you over looked an easy to get sword with great stats, Brilliance from Sinister Reign. If lucky to get perfect stats, it can be used full time until Burtgang or other swords. Just putting that out there. Paladin does have access to enhancing magic duration through 3 pieces, 2 being rough to get, can give you up to a 40% boost on reprisal's timer aswell as phalanx.Also was curious if you were aware of the Asklepian belt. I didn't see it in your gear builds, but in my opinion I feel it's a better belt over the Creed belt providing magic eva and def while boosting divine and healing magic skills. I'm also against Souvern gear set, granted great dt, hp, and enmity, due to the low Int, mind, and chr because these three do play into magic eva based on spell and mind's secondary boost is mag def bonus. I feel the Souvern gear does leave you more open to enfeebles and higher magic damage if not using Aegis. Would like your opinion. Overall did enjoy your paladin guide.
I've been using the Su5 sword for a while on Paladin now. It's a great tool to have that a lot of people overlook. I'm glad you added the Su4 to the guide. The massive HP boost is nice, but having an item that is 50% of the cure potency cap makes it really easy to cap cure potency along with an SIRD set.
These are the kinds of guides I like to see. A controlled dump of information complete with expectations and explanations so we can make our own decisions. I can't stand a lot of the guides on FFXIAH because they tell you "do this" with little indication of why, ultimately forcing you to dig through testimonials and wiki pages to research everything yourself anyway.
I am on and off again with FFXI, but I sub and watch every one of your videos because, A: They're freakin' great! and B: ASMR voice, man! I love just listening to you talk shop about FFXI while I'm working/playing games/etc. Thanks for all your content, brother.
Thank you so much for this! Paladin is my first love in FFXI, and this has given me a lot to consider as I continue to play the job! I've got some merit points to re-assign 😁
Gotta nitpick a point. PLD and SAM are NOT the only jobs that can open all level 2 skillchain properties with primary weapon alone. Thf and Bst can both do it. I 'm not sure about other jobs though.
I don't think y'all realize what Rua is doing in this video He is TEARING SHIT APART with a tank job, again. This displays an utter mastery of Paladin.
PLD intrigued me way back when COP came out and I actually slowed my socializing in game and began workin hard. I never got it passed 31 and ended up going the path of the Monk. I may have to try this class out for funzies
My memory may be fuzzy because it was almost 20 years ago so I may forget the exact abilities but here goes. I got onto a group with an amazing paladin when the game first came to America. I was playing a ranger and met the guy in the Valkurm Dunes. Only ever wanted me to pull goblins. Every time they would start to ready Bomb Toss(that right?) He would bash them and make them kill themselves with it. Was so funny. We went all the way to Yuhtunga Jungle? Forget which was which but it was the second jungle where you had to load on a chocobo. Everyone else was huddle together farming the little mandragoras and fighting for tags and here's my group getting exp chain 5s on incredibly tough goblin. Hope the person that played that paladin is doing well.
Lies. Shield Bash will interrupt Bomb Toss, but it will *NOT* outright force the goblin to drop the bomb. Whether or not a goblin will drop his own bomb on himself is entirely random.
While true on paper, block rate also depends on your shield skill vs monster iLvl. Where Ochain blocks 97% on iLvl139 mobs Aegis blocks 10% www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/46016/first-and-final-line-of-defense-v20/96/#3538417
Same here, I'm currently going through doing that myself. I'll bet that he's gonna wait to see what SE does to BST in future updates though before becoming immediately outdated.
Amazing content as always! I just got back into playing and I’m jumping into Rune (was curious of the PLDs strengths and weaknesses to better understand mine as a Rune) Also what are your chat window settings and what is the addon for the buffs near party members? Thanks again Rua!
I'm taking a break for a while health reason (only 3 weeks so far)from FFXI though I'm there for 18 years,never did tank.(Love to be BLM)I used to work with amazing PLD who retired with PS2.Have to learn again recent PLD.Thanks! (My 1st language and timezone is JP,sorry about my language skill)
Is playing ffxi these days even better than 10 years Who? Better graphics? As this video looks so beautiful and making the paladin look so good. Haven't played for 11 years but this video makes the game look so beautiful, wish 14 could have 11's simple magic and not so over the top.
Rua you talked about /drk but you forgot about absorb-tp. It's 320/320 enmity so while that's not a lot of VE, it's almost double the CE of flash/stun. And yes, /DRK is the best SJ for single target on PLD. If all you're doing is fighting a boss, you should be /DRK.
When did they update flash enmity? It used to be 1200 VE and 0 CE. I also use priwen over ochain. It has a comparable block rate with reprisal but negates more damage upon a block. With enough haste/ fast cast, reprisal has a 100% upkeep, minus dispel. If you get the chance, I’d appreciate it you checked out my PLD gear guides. I meant to go deeper into it and make a whole guide series, but I lost interest and took a break from the game. I’ll be back, but it might be a while lol.
Any videos on how to use the new login system, i'm having a hard time logging in cause it says my password isn't valid yet i put everything in right. \
Loess Barbuta +1 in my opinion is the best enmity generation head set (www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Loess_Barbuta_%2B1) you can easily get more enmity than with the Burtgang

I can't wait for a dedicated DPS/MAB guide. People need to know about this aspect.

"Hey everyone, RUA here" Thanks for the guides!
A very fair assessment of PLD; it's nice to see it get the spotlight. Thanks!
I've been messing with dps PLD myself. It's been a ton of fun, and I can testify that it has some viability.
Especially with Savage Blade being so stupidly powerful, a DPS PLD build is definitely viable.
Long waited for this guide. Thank you Ruamoko, great videos as always.

Thanks.
Was hoping for one of these - thanks my man! You helped me get my valor armor btw, so thanks for that :)
id like to add that fealty has two more effects: 1) also negates some, but not all enmity resets 2) resists ninja 2 hours. awesome vid btw
I legit didn’t know it can resist Enmity resets.
Great video, as a new player its great to see a new updated video with some really awesome info. Thank you!
This guide as filled in a lot of gaps in my PLD knowledge, Thank you!
Thank you so much for this! Paladin is my first love in FFXI, and this has given me a lot to consider as I continue to play the job! I've got some merit points to re-assign 😁
The quality and care you put into your videos is amazing. Thank you for all your hard work. See you in game~
I’ve watched this maybe 20 times and almost fell asleep each time.
Thank you for the guide. Looking forward to pt. 2.

Missed that opportunity to say, "over 9000." Guess 8000 it is.
As always, great vid and keep them coming when you can.
I don't think y'all realize what Rua is doing in this video
He is TEARING SHIT APART with a tank job, again. This displays an utter mastery of Paladin.
I wish I could pull an Ursula and steal this voice. I just play these videos on loop in the background to relax during Apex farming :D

One note here. Aegis is a shield size 3, that blocks like a size 5. This translates to a base 50% block rate and 55% damage reduction.

at what point would you use a fast cast set over a spell interup - set? Or is fast cast mute if you have a precast set as Spell Interup - @100%?
I'm thinking of picking up FFXI for the first time, is it possible at all to have a dps build as a paladin?
do you have a thf guide anywhere?
Rua you talked about /drk but you forgot about absorb-tp. It's 320/320 enmity so while that's not a lot of VE, it's almost double the CE of flash/stun.

I noticed you didn't mention Excalibur. Is it worth going for. I know burtang is but very grindy
It’s showing up in part two. It’s part of a more advanced build and this is the introduction section.
Awesome, new upload from Rua! Do I play PLD, no.. but my love of ffxi enjoys player created content!

It’s a more advanced setup and will be featured in part two.

Wish they would buff the Nin for a third choice for tanks. These days, tanks are basically Run>>>>>>>>>>>>>Pld......And that’s it.
