Resists
 

So I made a Paladin... its has about 80 in each resist and is level 10 (I dont think I have outright resisted one spell yet even from a light blue mob...) Are resists broken or is 80MR 80PR 80DR not enough to resist blinds / poisons / diseases at level 10?

Resists are primarily the difference between levels. And do not fight casters.

So basically your saying that not only AC is broken but so are resists - and now paladin's... even what I thought would be a fun twink.. remain even more useless than before.

No I am saying that resists are primarily level based and you are playing a weak class at a weak level and expect to be elite.

Paladins are only remotely fun in the ghoulbane murder /deepwater items range

Hrmm smells like Reroll in here.

if not resisting a walking sleep at level 10 is enough to make you reroll then you never would have made it to 60 on a hybrid anyway

Cant resist... lowbie spells... must.. re roll.. (True Story)

don't play a tank if you don't like being blinded once in a while

Resists (just like AC) seem to scale better as you level. Those 80's might not be doing much for you right now at level 10, but you'll be pretty solid at lvl 30 with those + resist buffs.
