I have a level 60 paladin and 60 warrior. Paladin has NToV Greatspear of Dawn. Warrior has inferior ratio Dain axe.
In defense of the warrior:
-Never really had aggro problems on my warrior. Blips here and there? Yeah it goes with the territory but with 2h white dog aggro being what it is and a stun/dd proc … it’s trivial
-Never did a group with my paladin that wouldn’t have been trivial with my warrior.
-I have done some harder group content with my warrior that was snooze-fest easy but my paladin would have had a tougher time (that disc is godly). These types of scenarios are very uncommon though. They are the exception not the norm.
-Warrior dps is much higher … even factoring massive difference in weapon ratio my two toons have
-warrior takes less damage without disc and there is literally no comparison for the 3 of 7 minutes they evasive is up.
Objectively, Paladin does get the job done better most of the time … at least I know that aggro is 100% always on me. Utility is stellar to boot.
But those implying warriors are “useless in 90% of game content” fall into one of the following buckets
-has never actually owned/leveled/played a well geared warrior
-has never actually played WITH a well geared warrior
-suck at everquest
-is retarded
EverQuest is a really simple game.
