{{Collaborative Guide}}

==General Information==
* One of the original six Advanced Jobs, as well as the direct opposite of Dark Knight.
* One of the two standard tank jobs in the game.
* Possesses the highest base Physical Defense rating and the most Physical Defense Traits of any job in the game.
* Is a safe choice for breaking into content.

===Roles===
* Traditional Tank with emphasis on physical damage mitigation.
* Keeps the monster's attention away from the other front-line and back-line players/characters by maintaining high levels of Enmity.
* Paladin's role has expanded in the healing category with the addition (and expansion) of the job ability Majesty.
** Through the use of the ability Majesty, single-target Cures are expanded to Area of Effect status.

==Food and Medicines==
===Food===
'''Recomended:'''
* [[File:Miso Ramen icon.png|link=Miso Ramen]] '''[[Miso Ramen]]'''
* '''Stats:''' '''HP+100''', STR+5, VIT+5, '''DEF+10% (Max. 170)''', '''"Magic Def. Bonus"+5''', '''Magic Evasion +10% (Max. 50)''',"Resist Slow" +10.
** The best defensive tanking food there is. It couples HP+, Defense, and Magic Evasion+ all into one food.
*** Purchased from the Auction House. Crafted only.

* [[File:Om. Sandwich icon.png|link=Om. Sandwich]] '''[[Om. Sandwich]]'''
* '''Stats:''' '''HP+11% (Max. 150)''', VIT+7, MND+7, '''Accuracy+11% (Max. 80)''', '''DEF+11% (Max. 120)''', '''Enmity+4'''.
** Introduced in [[The Voracious Resurgence]] missionline. Comparable to Miso Ramen in HP and Defense; exchanging Magic Evasion and Magic Defense Bonus for Accuracy and Enmity.
** Purchased from the Auction House. Crafted only.


'''Alternatives:'''
* [[File:Black Curry Bun icon.png|link=Black Curry Bun]] '''[[Black Curry Bun]]''' 
* '''Stats:''' (DEX+2, VIT+4, INT+1, Accuracy+5, Ranged Accuracy+5, Evasion+5, '''DEF+15% (Max. 180)''', "Resist Sleep"+3, HP recovered while healing +2, MP recovered while healing +1)
** The next best thing. This food actually has 10 more defense than Miso Ramen, but lacks the other benefits. The silver lining is that they are a fourth to a fifth the price of Miso depending on the market.
*** Purchased from the [[Curio Moogle]] for 4,000 gil, 48,000 a stack.

* [[File:Tavnazian Taco icon.png|link=Black Curry Bun]] '''[[Tavnazian Taco]]''' 
* '''Stats:''' ('''HP+20''', MP+20, DEX+4, VIT+6, AGI+4, CHR+4, '''DEF+25% (Max. 150)''', HP and MP recovered while healing +1)
** The once famous food. There is no reason to really use this anymore, but if you are a lower level it will grant more defense than one of these higher level items given its lower cap, but higher percentage increase.
*** Purchased from the [[Curio Moogle]] for 4,000 gil, 48,000 a stack.

* [[File:Rabbit Pie icon.png|link=Rabbit Pie]] '''[[Rabbit Pie]]'''
* '''Stats:''' (STR+5 VIT+5 INT-2 '''Attack+25% (Max. 100)''' Ranged Attack+25% (Max. 100) '''DEF+25% (Max. 100)''')
** An honorable mention. The attack and defense parameters aren't as high given it's hybrid status but definitely worth looking at.
*** Purchased from [[Curio Moogle]] for 3,000 gil, 36,000 gil a stack.

* [[File:Fried Popoto icon.png|link=Black Curry Bun]] '''[[Fried Popoto]]''' 
* '''Stats:''' ('''HP +30''', VIT +2, {{fire}} +20, '''Defense +20% (Cap:145)''', Subtle Blow +8)
** This food is as cheap as it gets, excluding the crystal it costs less than 300 gil to make 6 of these a synth. Making these in bulk to store and use for [[Ambuscade]] spam and similar events will cost you next to nothing. Even if you have to shout and pay a level 90+ cook 50-100k to make them for you. It would still only cost you roughly 10-20k a stack of [[Fried Popoto]]s.
*** Purchased from the Auction House, crafted only.

===Medicines===
* [[File:Echo Drops icon.png|link=Echo Drops]] '''[[Echo Drops]]'''
** Useful for when silenced and no one else can (or is able to) Silena you. Keep these stocked.
*** Purchased from the [[Curio Moogle]] for 700 Gil.

* [[File:Remedy icon.png|link=Remedy]] '''[[Remedy]]'''
** Useful for curing most debuffs curable with -na spells (ie: Paralyna). You can receive 12 a month for free from ambuscade. Keep these stocked.
*** Purchased from the [[Curio Moogle]] for 3,000 Gil.

* [[File:Reraiser icon.png|link=Reraiser]] '''[[Reraiser]]''' / [[File:Hi-Reraiser icon.png|link= Hi-Reraiser]] '''[[Hi-Reraiser]]'''
** Nothing wrong with keeping extra sources of Reraise in your pocket. Keep these stocked.
*** Purchased from the [[Curio Moogle]] for 1,000 and 1,500 Gil.

* [[File:Holy Water icon.png|link=Holy Water]] '''[[Holy Water]]'''
** Extremely useful to have, especially when spell priority or universal cool downs from back=line supports are bottle necked... Keep them stocked.
*** Purchased from the [[Curio Moogle]] for 1,000 Gil.

* [[File:Panacea icon.png|link=Panacea]] '''[[Panacea]]'''
** Sometimes you are overwhelmed with a number of debuffs (like an [[Impact]]) that need [[Erase]] and this is much faster than waiting on a support to erase them. Keep these stocked.
*** Purchased from the [[Curio Moogle]] for 20,000 Gil.

* [[File:Vile Elixir icon.png|link=Vile Elixir]] '''[[Vile Elixir]]''' / [[File:Vile Elixir +1 icon.png|link=Vile Elixir +1]] '''[[Vile Elixir +1]]'''
** You never know when these might come in handy. Even for other party members... Great for putting in a bazaar for back-line supports when in a pinch as well! A single [[Vile Elixir]] or HQ can save you in those situations. Keep these stocked.
*** Purchased from the [[Curio Moogle]]; 20,000 Gil for NQ. 40.000 Gil for HQ.
*** Often cheaper to buy off the Auction House.
*** A number of NM's and various content drop these for free as well.

* [[File:Antacid icon.png|link=Antacid]] '''[[Antacid]]'''
** Great for switching food on the fly when the situation calls for it. Keep a few, just in case.
***Purchased from the [[Curio Moogle]] for 1.000 Gil.

==Support Jobs==
* Support jobs or sub jobs can range and vary. The main two are going to be '''Warrior''' and '''Blue Mage''' with special mention going to '''Dark Knight''' as well as '''Rune Fencer'''.
** All have their uses and should be used accordingly. The higher end / more challenging content will most likely lean towards the use of BLU.
** However as Power Creep continues with newer & stronger armor sets (but more specifically Master Level increases), the likelihood is RUN will become the prevalent sub job.
*For the sake of thoroughness, please see below for a variety of support jobs and reasons advocating for their use.

==Tanking: Mitigation & Enmity==
*A Paladin's job of tanking can be split into two [simplified] schools of thought: 1) Mitigating incoming damage and negative status effects through ''layering defensive measures''; and 2) ''Maintaining a high(er) level of enmity'' over other party and/or alliance members. Please see below.

===Layering Defenses===
*Ah Defense. As mentioned above, the key to mitigating damage and negative statuses is through layering defenses against them.

:*On the physical side for Paladin, it starts with the most basic of stats of Vitality and Physical Defense. Further enhanced by stats such as Physical Damage Taken -% (PDT-%) gear and its more advanced form Damage Taken -% (DT-%) gear. Paladin also specializes in shield blocking which further reduces damage when ''facing an attacking monster upon successful block''. There are various spells and abilities which augment physical defenses such as Protect, Phalanx, Sentinel and Rampart.

:*On the magical side for Paladin, it starts with the the stats of Intelligence, Mind, Magic Defense and Magic Evasion. Further enhanced by magic damage taken -% (MDT-%) gear and its more advanced form Damage Taken -% gear ''(which covers bother Physical and Magical damage, but also the less often seen Breathe damage)''. There are various spells and abilities which augment magical defenses such as Shell ''(which is itself a form of MDT-%)'' and Fealty for example.

===Enmity===
*Enmity itself can be divided into two specific measurable types: '''Cumulative Enmity and Volatile Enmity. '''

:*Cumulative Enmity is largely static and typically builds slower than its counterpart. Cumulative Enmity is reduced by outside actions such as taking damage and getting debuffed (negative status effects). 

:*Volatile Enmity is more fluid in that it builds quickly--typically (but not always) at a rate of three times that of Cumulative Enmity. Volatile Enmity however, natively reduces overtime. '''Approximately 60 Volatile Enmity per second.'''

*''Please see Enmity Table section below for the measurable caps on both types of enmity.''

*Enmity in general can be split across three categories: '''Curing, Damage, and Actions'''. The first two are fairly self-explanatory but here is a direct link for further explanation: [[Enmity#Enmity_Gain|Damage and Cure Enmity Gain]]. Please see below for Actions. 

:*Virtually every player action in the game generates enmity. Although most don't do much, "enmity actions" would be actions with notable enmity value(s) attached. ''(Such as Flash or Provoke)''

===Enmity Table===
*As per the Enmity page:
:*The cap enmity is 60,000 total (30,000 each of Cumulative '''(CE)''' and Volatile Enmity '''(VE)''').
:*If multiple players have enmity on a monster ''(on the hate list)'', the monster will target the player on the hate list with the highest combined enmity values.
:*In the case of multiple players having identical enmity values ''(being at enmity cap for example)'', a monster will target the player that acted most recently.

===Notes on Tanking /BLU===
<hr style="border-color: gray">
Blue Mage as a sub (or support job) has been a main stay for PLD for a quite some time now. "/BLU" provides a number of benefits both directly and indirectly to help bolster the player's defenses and Enmity gain & retention. ''Those familiar with setting their Blue Magic spell list may already know this but it's worth mentioning that you only are able to set 14 spells or a total of 30 points (whichever comes first) as a Level 49 /BLU.'' With Master Levels allowing access to Blue Magic spells from Levels 50~59, at Master level 10, those caps increase to 16 spells and 35 set points, respectively.<br>

See below for a list of spells to think about setting:<br>

*'''Non-Mastered'''
:*Direct Uses
:**[[Cocoon]]: Increases Physical Defense rating by 50%.
:**[[Bomb Toss]] and [[Cursed Sphere]] are both Medium Range (13.5 Yalm distance) spells for multi-target Area of Effect pulls (7 Yalm Radius).
:***An example of where this is useful would be for [[Dynamis_-_Divergence|Dynamis Divergence]] Wave 3 fetter pulls.
:**[[Blank Gaze]]: Single-target Enmity spell.
:**[[Jettatura]]: Front conal Enmity Spell (9 Yalm range, 30~45° cone).
:**Caster-Focused Area of Effect Enmity Spells: As the bullet point indicates, /BLU has a variety of AoE spells focused around the caster which can be used to either tag a group of mobs or bolster the Enmity already established on a group of enemies.
:***[[Sheep Song]], [[Stinking Gas]], [[Soporific]], and [[Geist Wall]].
:***'''Please Note: There is a 15 target maximum initial Enmity establishing limit. So for example, if there is a group of 20 monsters and you cast an AoE Enmity spell covering all 20, only 15 will add you to their Enmity List. Anything past that limit has to be either tagged individually one at a time or AoE'd outside of that initial 15 targets.'''<br />

:*Job Traits
:**[[Healing Breeze]] + [[Sheep Song]] provides [[Auto_Regen|Auto Regen]]<br />

:*Stat Gains<br />Yes, stat gains. Even with the amount of stats given by Item Level equipment, you still will have some spell slots left over to add additional stats according to your own personal preferences. In this case, listing spells which add a few extra points of HP as it's objectively the most reasonable gain one can get out of the list and may push you over a HP threshold:
:**[[Wild Oats]] HP+10, [[Feather Storm]] HP+5, [[Screwdriver]] HP+10, [[Healing Breeze]] HP+10, [[Sheep Song]] HP+5, [[Helldive]] HP+5, [[Wild Carrot]] HP+5<br />

*'''Master Level 5+:'''
:*Direct Uses
:**Caster-Focused Area of Effect Enmity Spells:
:***[[Cold Wave]]: Becomes an additional option in your rotation after ML 15 and even has a minor added benefit of applying a Frost DoT.
:*Job Traits
:**[[Ice Break]] (ML5) + [[Magnetite Cloud]] provides [[Magic_Defense_Bonus|Magic Defense Bonus]]
:*Stat Gains
:**[[Radiant Breath]] HP+5

====Picking your Spells====
[[User:Brahmsz|Brahmsz]] ([[User talk:Brahmsz|talk]]): This is more of a personal notation, but your set list of spells while limited in capacity by sub is a still a matter of personal preference. All the spells listed here should have their respective links but in an abundance of caution for those who will likely skip over these sorts of things here's some tips:
:*MP Cost, Casting time, Casting & AoE Range, and Stat Gains (HP) are all considerations for what spells you choose.
:**Personally, I lean more into a spell set that favors HP gains to push my HP cap over a given threshold, for example.
:***As such, I avoid Soporific & Geist Wall as they both have '''HP-10''', for example.
:**Of the 4 non-Master Level AoE spells available, Sheep Song has the lowest MP Cost (22MP), followed in order by Soporific (24MP), Stinking  Gas (44MP), and Geist Wall (46MP).
:***Stinking Gas has the longest casting time at 4 seconds compared to 3 seconds for the others.
:****Geist Wall has the shortest recast time (30 sec), followed by Stinking Gas (37s), Sheep Song (60s), and Soporific (90s).
:**Cursed Sphere has a lower MP Cost (32v42), Cast Time (3v4), and Recast (20v25) over Bomb Toss while having the same Casting & AoE Range.

==Weapons==
===Swords & Shields===
Taking a moment to touch upon sword and shield choices for Paladin. There is a variety of sword choices to choose from. And while your mileage may vary depending on which sword you choose to wield, there are only a handful of shields for use in endgame scenarios.
====Swords====
<hr style="background:gray">
*[[Eminent Scimitar]]: Quite possibly the earliest and easiest iLvl sword you can obtain (since there is no Homestead/Bayld swords for Paladins).
**Cost: 7,000 Sparks.
*[[Voluspa Sword]]: Honorable mention. If you started collecting Domain Points from Domain Invasion, an extremely easy iLvl 119 sword. An added bonus is Volupsa Sword gains large stat increases during Domain Invasion.
**Cost: 80 Domain Points from [[Zurim]].
*[[Kaja Sword]] / [[Naegling]]: '''Highly recommended Offensive benchmark target.''' Granting access to Savage Blade weapon skill AND granting '''an additional 15% damage bonus to all hits of Savage Blade'''.
**Cost: 16,250 Hallmarks to upgrade from a base [[Tokko Sword]] to Kaja Sword. 26,250 Hallmarks and one [[:Category:Pulse_Panoplia#Weapons|Pulse Weapon<sup>'''‡'''</sup>]] to fully upgrade to Naegling.
*[[Nixxer]]: '''Recommended Defensive benchmark target.''' Standard physical damage tanking sword. Featuring '''Physical Damage Taken -6% and Shield Blockrate +3%.''' Pairs nicely with a Priwen or Ochain.
**How to obtain:
***Chance drop from [[Palila]] in Escha - Ru'an.
***Can also be purchased for 200 Domain points from [[Zurim]].
*[[Brilliance]]: Honorable mention. Featuring a base '''Enmity +7''', an additional +15 damage to Enlight (as well as enspell duration +15 seconds), and '''Damage Taken -3%.''' Max augment provides '''an additional Enmity +7 for a total of 14''', +10 shield skill, as well as +15 to Divine Magic skill and base DMG, respectively. Pairs nicely with a Priwen or Srivatsa.
**How to obtain:
***'''Randomized prize''' from successfully defeating [[Sajj'aka]] in Wave 3 of [[Sinister Reign]]. '''Randomized augments upon presentation of prize choice...'''
****Good luck!
*[[Malignance Sword]]: Honorable mention. '''Magic Defense Bonus +8, Fast Cast +8%, Refresh +1,''' and '''Resist All Status Ailments +10.''' This is definitely a "nice to have in your repertoire" sword.
**How to obtain:
***Chance drop from [[Maiden of the Dusk]] High Tier Mission Battle.
***Cost: 10 Merit Points and <ahem> '''proper''' access requirement: Complete Wings of the Goddess mission line.
****Good luck!
*[[Sakpata's Sword]]: Honorable mention. '''HP+100, MP+40, Fast Cast +10%, Damage Taken -10%,''' and '''Potency of "Phalanx" effects received +5.'''
**How to obtain: Purchasable from the [[Pilgrim Moogle]] in Rabao after successfully defeating the Atonement 3 NM [[Kalunga]] in Sheol: Gaol of [[Odyssey]].

=====DAMPER Swords=====
<hr style="background:gray">
Shortened for '''D'''ivergence, '''A'''eonic, '''M'''ythic, '''P'''rime, '''E'''mpyrean, & '''R'''elic weapons. Descriptions herein assume 119 (III).
*(D) [[File:Cabal. Sword icon.png]] [[Cabal. Sword]] / [[File:Moralltach icon.png]] [[Moralltach]]: Paladin's Divergence weapon, the former being the HQ1 and the latter being the HQ2. On paper, these are decent hybrid melee weapons sporting Accuracy / Attack +40 to +50, '''HP +120 to 130''', MP +60 to 70, and converting 2% to 3% of Maximum HP to Defense. However, the real benefit of these swords are their Path C augments: an additional '''HP +200 to 250, Cure Potency +20% to 25% and Refresh +3 to 4''' respectively. Pairs very nicely with the job ability [[Majesty]].
**Requirements:
***To equip Caballarius Sword, the player requires '''"Superior 4"''' status: '''1,200 Job Points spent/invested.'''
***To equip Moralltach, the player requires '''"Superior 5"''' status: '''Job Mastery; 2,100 Job Points spent/invested.'''

*(A) [[File:Sequence icon.png]] [[Sequence]]: The one of the two Aeonic pieces Paladin has access to (the other being the shield Srivatsa). Aeonics are the only ultimate weapon category to boast TP Bonus +500. Sequence's aftermath effect unlocks Level 4 skillchain properties Radiance and/or Umbra, respectively. Fair warning though, Sequence's associated weaponskill [[Requiescat]] is mainly a utility weaponskill and as such should not be depended upon for damage.

*(M) [[File:Burtgang icon.png]] [[Burtgang]]: Paladin's ultimate job-specific Mythic weapon. One of the few in-game weapons that breaks the physical damage taken cap '''(PDT II -18%)''', raising it to a maximum of '''PDT -68%'''. Has a massive '''Enmity +23''' as well as '''Enmity reduction upon taking damage of approximately -20%.''' Burtgang's associated weaponskill [[Atonement]] has a finite damage cap, but in exchange gives a massive enmity boost upon use, which can go a long way in higher end content.

*(P) [[File:Caliburnus (Level 119) icon.png|link=]] [[Caliburnus (Level 119)]]: Paladin's Prime One-Handed Sword. Relatively speaking, there isn't much to say about it other than it is an ultimate weapon.

*(E) [[File:Almace icon.png]] [[Almace]]: One of two Empyrean weapons Paladin has access to (The other being the greatsword Caladbolg). Almace comes with an additional DEX+50, which helps to further boost it's associated weaponskill [[Chant du Cygne]] as well as an attached Aftermath effect of Occasionally Triples Damage.

*(R) [[File:Excalibur icon.png]] [[Excalibur]]: Paladin's original ultimate [Relic] weapon. Also, one of two Relic weapons Paladin has access to (the other being the greatsword Ragnarok). Allowing the use of the weaponskill [[Knights of Round]] with an attached Aftermath effect of Regen +30 & Refresh +3 on the user.
**Notes:
***Has a hidden effect of dealing triple damage on the first swing of an attack round 13% of the time.
***Deals slashing damage damage equal to 25% of the wielder's current HP. This displays as an "Additional Effect" line in the in-game chat log.
***''At Rank 15 Augmentation, the wielder also gains an additional '''Shield Blockrate +10%'''.''

====Shields====
<hr style="background:gray">
*[[File:Priwen icon.png]] {{imgpop|[[Priwen]]|Priwen description.png|link=}}: '''Recommended benchmark target''' for new or returning players to the job. It comes with '''Damage Taken -6%, Phalanx reduction received +2''', and triples blockrate under Reprisal'''(!!!)'''. If you don't mind losing TP switching this in for phalanx is not a bad idea.
**Priwen can be further enhanced through augmentation.
***At rank 15, Priwen gains '''HP +50, Magic Evasion +50, and an additional Damage Taken -3%'''.
**Requirements:
***Meet minimum requirements to be "recognized" by [[Oboro]].
****Trade him a [[Cehuetzi Pelt]], [[Januwiyah]], [[Darksteel Shield]], and 150 of either [[Pluton]], [[Beitetsu]], or [[Riftborn Boulder]].
****For augmentation, trade Oboro your Priwen and one of above mentioned currency to start. Then trade 299 more after initial augment to complete the process.

*[[File: Blurred Shield icon.png]] {{imgpop|[[Blurred Shield]]|Blurred Shield description.png|link=}} / {{imgpop|[[Blurred Shield +1]]|Blurred Shield +1 description.png|link=}}: Most likely one of the first shield investments into a dd or hybrid build. '''Accuracy/Attack +15 to 20''', Shield Blockrate +5 to 10%, '''Weaponskill Damage +5 to 7%''', and the '''HQ version's Fencer bonus +1''' make these an excellent choice for content where you can afford to melee and tank.
**Requirements:
***To equip Blurred Shield/ +1, the player requires '''"Superior 2"''' status: '''100 Job Points spent/invested'''.

*[[File:Ajax +1 icon.png]] {{imgpop|[[Ajax +1]]|Ajax +1 description.png|link=}}: A very niche shield that provides '''Enhancing Magic Received Duration +10%''' when augmented to Rank 15, making it quite interesting for longer buffs if you don't mind losing TP. The Enhancing Magic Duration effect is an augment and is quite strong. Enhancing Magic Duration effect and the equipment augment version of the effect are added at separate steps in the formula to further multiply the duration of Enhancing spells. 
**See [[Enhancing_Magic#Equipment_Bonuses]] for more info.
**How to Obtain:
***[[Coca]] [[UNM]].
****Chance drop from [[Coca's Coffer]] item. 

*[[File:Sacro Bulwark icon.png]] {{imgpop|[[Sacro Bulwark]]|Sacro Bulwark description.png|link=}}: Another fascinating entry deserving of honorable mention. Has Damage Taken -10%, Shield Blockrate +15%, spell interruption rate -7%, and the '''Cure Potency +5%'''. It's a ''bit niche'', but makes for an excellent "support tank" shield. Pairs nicely with the job ability [[Majesty]] for an increase in cure power. 
**How to Obtain:
***Chance drop from [[Divine Interference]] High-Tier Mission Battlefield.
***Cost: 10 Merit Points and <ahem> '''proper''' access requirement: Complete Treasures of Aht Urhgan mission line.
****Good luck!

*[[File:Adamas icon.png]] {{imgpop|[[Adamas]]|Adamas description.png|link=}}: Another very niche shield. still deserving of honorable mention. The predecessor to Priwen during the 99-Cap era of the game, Adamas is the only other shield in the game with the "Enhances Reprisal" effect (triples blockrate under Reprisal). Adamas also provides a significant boost to Resist All Status Ailments of 20%. Pairs nicedly with a Malignance Sword.
**How to Obtain:
***Chance drop from [[Provenance Watcher]].
***Progress up the [[Voidwatch]] questline until you gain [[Provenance]] access.

=====REAP Shields=====
<hr style="background:gray">
*[[File:Aegis icon.png]] {{imgpop|[[Aegis]]|Aegis (Level 99 II) description.png|link=}}: Paladin's long held, original, tried and true shield. One of three Relics Paladin has access to. The first piece of equipment in game to break a particular damage taken cap '''(MDT II -50%)''' for a maximum of '''magic damage taken -87.5%'''. Makes magic damage received barely noticeable, even on the highest content. It also augments [[Shield Bash]] by adding an additional 250 damage. Aegis' biggest downside is that as a non-iLevel shield, its blockrate will be floored to the bare minimum 5%.

*[[File:Ochain icon.png]] {{imgpop|[[Ochain]]|Ochain (Level 99 II) description.png|link=}}: Paladin's original physical damage answer to Aegis. Ochain is one of three Empyreans Paladin has access to. It's also one of '''two''' shields with the Size 6 designation. While Ochain is also a non-iLevel shield, it has a hidden effect of a starting blockrate at "~108%".<sup>1</sup> The size 6 shield designation of Ochain comes with a small caveat: despite Ochain's size 6 designation, it actually has a '''reduced''' physical damage reduction upon successful block.<sup>2</sup> All that said, Ochain's blockrate is still monstrous (even with the widened gap between player skill and mob level in higher end content) and provides one of the best layers of physical defenses in the game.
# The 108% is reflective of a player character at level 99 player, so long as their Shield Skill is equivalent to mob combat skill/level. At level 99, Shield Blockrate begins to uncap at mob level 107.
# Physical damage reduction upon successful block is determined by shield size. Each size up gains an increase in physical damage reduction upon successful block up to size 5. '''see chart below'''

*[[File:Srivatsa icon.png]] {{imgpop|[[Srivatsa]]|Srivatsa description.png|link=}}: Srivatsa is one of two Aeonics Paladin has access to. Arguably the best hybrid build shield a Paladin can equip. Sporting the highest defense stat at 150 defense, '''HP +150, Accuracy/Attack +35, enmity +15, Damage Taken -8%''', and a 5% chance of damage annulment. ''The downside is that '''prior to Master Levels''' the player has to build around it to make it truly effective.'' Pairs nicely with Caballarius Sword / Moralltach for a massive HP boost. With enough master levels (20+) and enough +block rate (at least +8) against high level enemies this shield can rival Ochain. This does not mean it is always better, but in some situations it might overtake other options and is worth making.

*[[File:Duban (Level 119) icon.png]] {{imgpop|[[Duban (Level 119)]]|Duban (Level 119) description.png|link=}}: And a new challenger enters the ring. Duban is a part of the Prime Weapon line. Duban was given a Size 6 designation, meaning it has the benefit of Ochain's enhanced blockrate, but with the advantage of item level status.

====Notes Concerning Priwen, Ochain, Duban, & Srivatsa====
--[[User:Brahmsz|Brahmsz]] ([[User talk:Brahmsz|talk]]) After a series of conversations, questions, and misunderstandings, adding this set of notes to '''hopefully''' clear up and give a better understanding of how these three shields compare and can be used in content. 01:44, 26 October 2022 (EDT)

=====How They Compare=====
*So let's start with some basic comparisons:
**Priwen is Size 3; Srivatsa is Size 5; and Ochain is Size 6. '''Please review above chart for physical damage reduction on successful block and unadjusted starting blockrates.'''
**Priwen is the only non-ultimate shield of the three.
***Priwen is also the only shield of the three that has the rare "Enhances Reprisal" stat attached.
**Ochain is the only non-item level (iLVL) shield of the four.
***Ochain has a hidden unnamed status effect (likely tied to its Size 6 classification) that grants it an extraordinarily high blockrate.
**As of the November 2022 Update, [[Duban]] is now officially the second Size 6 shield in the game.
**Of the three item level shields (Priwen, Dubann, & Srivatsa), Srivatsa has the highest Shield Skill+ attached (More on this later).

=====How They Work=====
*'''I would strongly encourage people read the [[:Shield Skill]] page to get a better understanding of how shield blocking works.'''
**The '''extremely''' simplified explanation is thus: there are four components to shield blocking; (1) Player Shield Skill; (2) Mob Combat Skill; (3) Unadjusted starting blockrate based on the Shield Size; and (4) blockrate adjustment based on level adjustment.

*'''So how do these shields function in combat situations?'''
*Let's break this down into two (three) situations: ''Reprisal active; Palisade active; Reprisal AND Palisade on cooldown (or dispelled).''

:*''Reprisal'' increases blockrate by 50% (current blockrate x1.50) and increases Shield Skill by 15% (skill x 1.15).
:**Priwen enhances Reprisal's effect, doubling it to a 3.0 multiplier, and gains a moderate increase in its Shield Skill.
:**Ochain's & Duban's blockrates simply gets better with a 1.5 multiplier.
:**Srivatsa sees gains from the 1.5 Reprisal effect, but gains ground via the 1.15 skill multiplier as it has the highest item level Shield Skill+.

:*''Palisade'' is a flat percentage-based increase to blockrate. Base Palisade grants +30% blockrate. With 20/20 Job Points invested in Palisade, the increase is +50% blockrate.
:**The blockrate percentage Palisade grants is applied regardless of player Shield skill or floored (5%) blockrate.
:**'''What this means is…''' Palisade can be utilized to close the gap on blockrate when say… Reprisal is on cooldown/dispelled or the fourth component of ''blockrate adjustment based on level adjustment'' warrants it.
:**'''Please be advised that Palisade has a secondary and more prudent purpose for tanking besides increasing blockrate.'''

:*This leaves the third situation of ''Reprisal AND Palisade on cooldown (or dispelled).''
:**Priwen falls behind in such a situation. Due in part to not only its status as a "normal" Size 3 shield, but the higher level the Mob or Content the player is facing, the dramatically lower Priwen's blockrate becomes in this situation.
:**Ochain's and Duban's blockrates remain high regardless. Due in large part to their special Size 6 shield classifications and the significant blockrate that provides.
:**Srivatsa falls somewhere in the middle between the previous two. As stated, Srivatsa is not only equivalent to ILVL 122, it offers the highest Shield skill of any shield PLD can wear. As a size 5 shield (not to mention classification as an ultimate armament), Srivatsa enjoys higher thresholds of ''physical damage reduction on successful block'' and ''unadjusted starting blockrate.''

=====TL;DR=====
**Without diving into my personal view, here is how it breaks down:
*** Priwen works perfectly fine '''as long as''' Reprisal is active.
***Ochain simply works, but Duban effectively replaces it if you have one.
***Srivatsa takes some work to build around at first but gains significant ground as your gear improves.
**''Ultimately, it is your choice to use whichever shield you feel more comfortable with for physical defense scenarios. This guide exists to provide you with information, in order to make informed choices.''

=====A Note on Shield Block Tank Sets=====
-- [[User:Brahmsz|Brahmsz]] ([[User talk:Brahmsz|talk]]) -- Been giving this a fair amount of thought and decided Shield Block builds deserved a mention here in the New/Returning section. 16:35, 8 June 2021 (EDT)
*There are currently two approaches to a Paladin Shield Block build: 1) Shield Skill+. 2)Shield Block+. Each with their own strengths and weaknesses.
**The idea behind a Shield Skill+ build is to close the gap between you the player's Shield skill and the target enemy's combat skill (specifically under [[Reprisal]]).
***Please see the [[Shield Skill]]  page for the most up-to-date formula on how shield skill works and effects blockrate.
**The idea behind a Shield Block+ build is to raise the "floor" of a given shield size's Blockrate (and further ''augment'' [[Reprisal]]).
*'''Will focus on Skill+ suggestions in this section. For Block+ suggestions, please refer to 7.3.1 below.'''

====Phalanx Sets====
<hr style="background:gray">
*General equipment sets to further enhance the damage mitigation effect of [[Phalanx]] on the Paladin.
*[[Enhancing Magic]] on Paladin (with merits) caps at 350 skill before gear.
**Phalanx potency caps at 500 Enhancing Magic skill.
**Phalanx is ''roughly'' 1 damage absorbed every 29 Enhancing Magic skill.
**Which is why "Phalanx+" gear is always better as it is added as a flat dmg reduction after the enhancing skill is counted up, for example if you have -32 from skill and 20 from gear it would become -52.
**As the formula for Phalanx floors the result, keep in mind that overshooting or undershooting a threshold means you're likely wasting stats. Keep this in mind when gearing as you might be able to substitute +enhancing skill items that are not contributing.
**'''Master Levels will change the skill tiers for the player, but that is more of a concern for the Advanced Section Magic Casting Sets. (11.4.6)'''
*If a Red Mage ('''or a SCH/RDM for Accession + Phalanx''') is in the party with you, the "phalanx received" will also effect the potency of [[Phalanx II]] when cast on you.

**''For situations where Fast Cast just isn't going to cut it and you NEED to get a specific spell off.''
*''"SIRD" is a bit more advanced than the above mentioned Fast Casts sets. Listing it none-the-less for reference.''
*It is possible to reach -100% Spell Interruption Rate though gear and/or a combination of gear and merits.
**'''Due to how Spell Interruption Rate is calculated, user must have a total of -102% Spell Interruption Rate Down.'''
*As mentioned, Spell Interruption Rate can also be increased by merits.
**Each increase to this merit category will grant you a 2% Spell Interruption Rate reduction, for a possible total of -10%.
***It costs 15 merits to fully upgrade (1>2>3>4>5).

*This set doesn’t deviate much from the above 119 HQ Souveran Set.
*It’s Weapon/Shield agnostic, and offered an all-round defense build.
*Please refer to the below Idle Set II (Odyssey).
|style="width: 33%; vertical-align: top;" |
*This set puts a strong emphasis on increasing shield blockrate.
**Fair warning, the head and legs require Dark Matter augments. The highest I’ve personally managed to see/attain is ‘’’blockrate +9%’’’ but assume a possible cap of +10%.
*This build has a '''potential''' Chance of Successful Blockrate of '''+36%'''.
**Augemented [[Zwazo Earring +1]] would bring that total to '''+39%''' in exchange for the HP+100/DT-3% from augmented Odnowa +1.
*An Alternate leg swap is [[Arjuna Breeches]] for +3% block chance.

*With the advent of Odyssey, this set appears to be the next step forward.
**Introduction of Sortie post-Odyssey makes capping Damage Taken even easier.
*Offers higher Physical Defense, Magic Evasion, and Magic Defense Bonus over most anything else.
|style="width: 33%; vertical-align: top;" |
*With an increasing focus on defensive measures (both physical and magical), this set emphasizes shield skill+ over blockrate+.
*While I personally still like block chance+ gear, Master Levels and gear creep itself continue to make Reisenjima-based gearsets that much more outdated.
**[[Foresti Earring]] can substituted in the Left Ear for further skill+.
***Due to the current rarity of Chevalier's Earring +2, substitute neck slot to Knight's Beads +1/2 and utilize Thureous/Foresti earrings.
****Augemented [[Zwazo Earring +1]] is still an option as well, as it offers 1% more block chance+ over [[Thureous Earring]].

===Sets by Galkapryme===
<hr style="background:black">
*'''PLD According to G-Pryme: Est. 1 Jan. 2025 (Under Construction)'''
*These sets are based off a Galka PLD/RUN ML 44 with full HP merits, Enmity+ merits, and SIRD merits. The numbers may vary depending on subjob, Unity rankings, and whichever way the Van A'Diel winds blow. 
*I don't bother with "Old" sets, "New and Returning Player" sets or TP sets/Hybrid sets. You can find those above. A PLD's primary function is to tank, and in many cases cure (though my base set includes a nice balance of defense and offense). I will try limit the sets to those, and I will also provide WS sets, as they have utility in Endgame. However, there's already a wiki page for almost all job WS sets. 
*Sword and Shield will be included in the sets; While I understand that we use different weapons with different sets, my intent is to match the optimal sword and shield with the appropriate set.
*'''Upcoming Sets:''' Enmity (spiked), FC, Bash, Cure, Phalanx, SIRD,

*Base tank set that balances DEF, HP, Acc, Attk, block rate, and enmity.
*Suitable options include Aegis, Srivatsa, Adamantite Armor, Staunch Tathlum +1, and some others. However, I find this to be a good balance.
|style="width: 33%; vertical-align: top;" |
*This set focuses on maintaining capped CE loss reduction and balancing that with DEF, HP, and DT down.
*Some better stats than the base set, but a little less DEF and weak in the MEVA department.
|style="width: 33%; vertical-align: top;" |
*This set focuses specifically on MEVA but does have 44 MDB. A specific MDB set will be added later.
