You honestly give up very little in choosing paladin. The total power of the tool kit paladins possess is substantial. Fantastic tank. You don’t have defensive, but only one class in the game has that. Really the only draw backs are low damage output and lack of defensive. In return you get direct heals, root, lull, stun, hp buff lines that stack, heal over time, aggro on command and eventually even Rez in your spell book. Clickies and procs can cover the other quality of life stuff like sow (potions or jboots), zone mobility (OT hammer, WC cap, gate potions), invis, lev, etc.
The dps is low and you’ll be disappointed if you expected to tank endgame raid bosses. In all other areas paladins reign as a relative superclass with a lot of potential.
Paladin will be my next alt to play around with.
