Did anyone make a paladin as a result of this thread?
Also agreed on the invis, feels good clicking an item to insta-invis wherever I go on my SK, would miss that.

Lack of invis can be fixed with items and pots. Hard to deny how awesome the CoS is though.
This thread, and the epic defence of paladin thread, got be returning to my paladin awhile back.
I think the reason many paladins stop playing is due to the class not getting a complete toolset till lvl30. That said, Root aggro + FoL works decently till you get your stun. Healing on inc works too. But yeah, before lvl30 it sometimes felt like something was missing.
After lvl30 though. I am having a lot of fun. This spell enhances almost every spell you have. Stun + heal/root/FoL. Saved so many enchanters like this. For backup, when things go to hell, I have my "OH SHIT!"-button in the form of Lay Hands. FoL is also a beautiful tool for ensuring the mob attacks me before breaking mezz. Lay Hands, on its own, can save a group(or even raid) from falling apart. I cannot say the same for harm touch.
Then there's the heals, of which use is kinda obvious, but your heals are not pitiful like a ranger. They're actually worth casting to keep people alive in an engagement, i.e. not an futile excercise which only prolong(and not for long) the inevitable.
That said, I'm not going to claim paladins are superior to SKs. Both SK/PAL are exceptional at maintaining aggro and a real asset to any exp group. The rarity of paladins can probably be attributed to the issues up till lvl20-30 + the hybrid pen in the past which I can see being enough to discourage people to even get past lvl20, indeed, even creating one to begin with.
However, now that I've gone beyond lvl30. I've reached the point where I'm not even on any alts anymore.
