I keep hearing that Paladins are largely underplayed. This works out for those who do play them as there's a lot of class-speciffic items which sell for peanuts compared to similar class items. Paladins are much like many other classes where if played well, Paladins are a great asset. If you don't learn the intricacies of the class, you will suck. I grouped once with a Paladin and he really helped the group with stuns, agro spells, etc. I rarely got agro on my enchanter thanks to the paladin really working his class.

Play a half-elf Paladin if you ant an underplayed race / class combo. (that was the race/class of my very first EQ character during EQ's launch)
