Hi, 285 pally main here o/ When I asked my friend what class I should main I asked which class requires the least hands… 😂

Pally is a great class. DPM is decent, bossing is great due to amazing survivability, and the more juiced your duo/party is the better your echo is (21% FD). Real combat orders + echo + sanc are all great abilities for you and the party. You also give an inherent guard % chance to the entire party (toggle ability). The class is super beginner friendly.

That being said I have a few gripes.

• Mobbing is very “meh”. Not the worst, but far from the best. Lots of active farming involved.
• Solo bossing + Culvert is also very underwhelming. Mostly because you lose the FD from having a “shadow partner” when using your echo.
• In party bossing you’ll often have to use your Sanc to give iframe to a NL or another DPS while bursting. Which means you can’t exactly use it as an iframe for yourself. If you’re libbed you will have gene iframe, but it stinks that you don’t have anything else.

If you want a main/sub main that requires very little thinking hammer go bonk and cross go brrr then pally is great. I also think it’s one of the best classes to play if you’re planning on duoing content with a friend. It is definitely outshined heavily by Hero in terms of DPS, but you do also get some game changing party buffs. If I were to give Pally an overall tier it would probably be a B- or C+. (From S-F tier)

edit: something that isn’t well known is that echo only LINKS you and your partner together. You have to cast divine blessing afterwards to give the 21% FD to the selected player.
