Pallies are great fun. People just have the wrong approach to them.
I far more enjoy whacking merbs with my Paladin at 1/20th the kill rate of a my epic 51 shaman.
Why? Because this game has been done to the shit house for 20 years and the name of the game now is of setting challenges. I have 2 mobs left to solo in lguk on my Paladin - Lord and Frenzy to say that I have slayed the entire undead side solo using a Paladin. I have gained about 51 of my 54 levels solo, and to be brutally honest it's almost quicker to solo still with how slow some xp groups are.
Once you lose your spirit of adventure for EQ you aren't really playing EQ anymore -- you're playing a class simply because it's the easiest, most efficent path to 60 and subseqently quitting out of bordem or zerging it up for pixels that give you a .25% power increase.
Paladin's are the true EverQuest experience imho.
