Any thoughts on server needs?

What are gear prices like? Easy for a war to stay somewhat current, or at least decent enough to get by?

Is paladin dps as bad as I'm reading?

I've never gotten a class to 60 on live, may main made it to 57 (war) and alt sk hit 52 (Troll)....so the XP penalty may be a factor.

I would like to complete my epic (goal of mine) and realize the paladin of the 3 is easiest. How tough, or bottlenecked is war/SK?

Any help is appreciated folks, thanks!
I am a 60 Warrior. The downside for warriors is that, in this era and on this EMU, you will find yourself frustrated over agro procs at times. You'd wanna go for max DPS in groups until u can get some stun or ykesha procs. You'll find it a bit hard to hold agro 50% of the time when grouped with some strong dps (i.e. epic'd rogue alts), but they should know how to evade, fd, etc. Root agro also helps when available. Warriors are strong DPS for solo and groups, only down side is that you cant heal yourself when soloing.

I think paladins (even with "low" dps) can solo fairly well if you are hunting in the right areas. With a Ghoulbane i'd say you can solo lvl 20-40 easily enough. You also get heals, buffs, cancel magic, root, lull, etc. In group scenarios, you can pull some massive agro with blind, stun, etc.... and Root if all else fails.

Never played an SK, but id assume their solo capabilities are powerful as well with their arsenal of debuffs, taps, snares, fear, fd, etc. Always appeared to be a fun class.

Paladin is probably the easiest epic to acquire. Warrior epic is bottle-necked at this time by the acquisition of Green Dragon Scales. SK's require drops from... CT/Inny/Both? Sev and planar gods are highly contested atm.

Just my input.
