Warriors utilize a rather simple but surprisingly tricky resource-building/spending rotation that revolves around a single starter (Maim) and two separate finishers (Storm's Eye - Self Damage Buff, and Storm's Path - Self Heal and resource generator) that generate wrath - Warrior-specific resource. They are definitely the most aggressive of all Tank Jobs and their toolkit supports all-in offensive playstyle. Unlike disciplined Paladins, Warriors tend to lose themselves in combat and often get consumed by battle rage while slashing their enemies with powerful Great Axes. Paladin's gameplay can become a bit dull after a while.

Jack-of-all-trades, easy-to-play Job (for a Tank).

Very strongВ damage mitigation abilities, including party-wide defensive cooldowns.

'Paladin's Pledge' Quest, Ul'dah Steps of Thal (9, 11).

Requires level 30В Gladiator with all Class Quests completed.

This rarity, however, is not accidental - playing as a Tank is quite challenging and requires good knowledge of the game mechanics and boss encounters. Note: Just like in other MMORPGs, Tanks have a much easier time finding a groupВ because of how rare they are. Their damage mitigation remains very strong and they received a much-needed charge ability (they were the only tank Job without one, and now they get it at level 74). In Shadowbringers expansion, Paladins did not change too much, but still, they feel more streamlined, and even more solid as Tanks and off-Tanks. Paladins also offer the most group utility of all Tank Jobs, which makes them great as off-Tanks that focus on babysitting other party members (for example, their Cover ability allows them to divert all damage taken by an ally to themselves for 12 seconds). Physical damage rotation focuses on building up MP that are then spent during the Magical damage rotation. They have access to strong damage mitigation skills, insanely powerful 10-second invulnerability Cooldown in the form of the Hallowed Ground ability (its power is balanced by long, 7 minutes Cooldown, however), and use robust but long two-part (physical and magical damage) DPS rotation. When it comes to tanking, Paladins like to do it the good old way - by using Swords, Shields, and sets of heavy Plate Armor.

We have just recently published a DPS Tier List based on the data in Patch 5.35 so if you are still trying to figure out which class is worth playing currently, you may check the article right here. It will also be focused on changes implemented in the Shadowbringers expansion. It will highlight flavors, strong points and main gameplay features of each of them while also trying to point out the weaknesses in order to create a clear comparison tool for new and experienced players alike. This Guide aims to introduce you to all 18 of the FFXIVвЂ™s Jobs and briefly describe their main features. This means that a single Character can play as every single one of the current 10 BaseВ Classes and extend them to all 18В Jobs as long as he meets the requirements, completes associated Quests and activates an appropriate Soul Crystal (this also eliminates the need for Alts, as a single character can learn and master all roles, potentially).

Square Enix, developers of the Final Fantasy XIV have chosen an interesting middle ground by deciding to implement Classes and Jobs iconic to the Final Fantasy series and giving players an option to play as any of them on every Character. The second-mentioned approach is typical to Sandbox MMOs (OSRS is a great example), while the first works the best in Themepark games, like WoW or Guildwars. The less common, but 'classic' (in a sense that it was utilized in some of the oldest games in the genre and then forgotten just to be reintroduced) solution forgoes the idea of classes altogether and lets players become whoever they want. In the standard systems, classes are divided into three main categories (Tanks, Healers, and Damage Dealers), players get to choose a class that they would like to play as and are stuck with their choice unless they want to make an Alt. A class system often becomes a foundation upon which the success of an MMORPG is built.
