I don’t know how Pallies are gear dependent. For grind groups they are renown for horrible dps and only appreciated for snap aggro. Level 30 stun is a ton of aggro and 30mana; Flash of Light is 12 mana. I usually have Holy Might and Force loaded to shut down casters but never for aggro. Any player (Pally or SK) who can chain cast these lowbie spells can tank using a cracked staff. Warriors and monks don’t have that luxury.
For solo yea...dps matters. Still though, hybrids beat things up over time using tricks. It’s a battle of attrition. 30 mana root, three clicks of the Dw helm, another root. Keep doing that until it dies or you go insane from boredom.
Knights can get by with banded, HP rings, and a 200-400p weapon. Sure they are scrubby as hell but more aggro is always just an index finger click away.
