(Redirected from PLD)



Job Overview

Paladin


Available after completing the quests A Squire's Test, A Squire's Test II, and A Knight's Test.
Paladins (PLD) specialize in close-range combat, just like Warriors. However, through long hours of spiritual training, paladins have acquired the ability to cast White Magic spells, making them even more valuable on the battlefield. Through the use of Shield Mastery and the ability to wear the heaviest armor in the game, Paladin fills its niche as a tank specialist.
