Fourth job 40

Paladin

Stand where the fight is hardest—and refuse to move.

Weapon identity

One-handed weapon + Shield for defense; two-handed Greataxe for a more aggressive farming identity.

Who should play this?

Choose Paladin if this sounds like you.

Choose Paladin if you like protecting a party, surviving punishing encounters, and switching between a shield wall and a harder-hitting two-handed farming setup.

Core stats: STA and STR. Defensive builds lean into HP, DEF, and Block; farming builds keep enough STR to maintain pressure.
Weapons: One-handed weapon + Shield for defense; two-handed Greataxe for a more aggressive farming identity.

Class roles

PvE

Frontline tank and defensive bruiser. Crusader's Resolve is the offensive stance; Fortress Stance is the safer boss stance.

PvP

A mitigation anchor that absorbs pressure and protects space rather than chasing one-shot damage.

What feels good

Strengths

Best native mitigation package
Two distinct weapon identities
Reliable frontline presence

What to respect

Weaknesses

Lower peak damage than dedicated attackers
Stance choice matters
Can be slow to finish mobile targets
