No way Kaev.
33/44 with dd proc and stats PRE-Kunark?
It was the best anyone had seen up to that point, except maybe if you won the Butcherblock hammer.

Original (probably long-lost) Paladins of Norrath forum (not the EZBoard) had a thoughtful "open-letter" to the EQ devs, iirc it was posted by the FOH Paladin lead (Kruegan?), explaining how FA compared to equipment then available to the high-end Paladins who raced to be the first to complete the quest. Inferior HP, AC, & Resists to a quality 1h+shield were not made up for by improving Paladin damage output from very weak to still very weak, because, :shock: damage output has nothing to do with tanking. Also, the proc had little agro so no real help when tanking (tho not everybody commenting wanted an agro proc.)
A lot of the Paladins that were not in the guilds dominating high-end content thought it was pretty neat.
Also, my memory ain't what it used to be, but iirc FA quest came out AFTER Kunark release.
