[Helion]

I don't think that I get missed a lot, its just that I kill most mobs in a couple of hits before they get more than one in on me. Also, make sure you use the defense scrolls, they are really your best friend. I also solo all the time on all of my characters, so I've gotten good at timing my potions and stones. And Loveless is right, I did notice a difference at the job change in being able to withstand more hits.
