Paladin was my first character on live back in the day, and it was painful. Sure, being able to root and heal yourself is nice, but Paladin DPS is low.. very, very low. The lowest of any melee class, especially if you're having to use banded armor and weapons scrounged up solo, furthermore without any haste. It might literally be better to fight only undead and nuke them to pieces, or as close as you can get, before engaging in melee.

I remember struggling with low dps and becoming very frustrated with my original character, and that was with easy access to decent weapons and armor in EC. Without gear purchased from higher level characters..? Man, I dunno.. it would be a slog, that's for sure.

U can root and meditate too.

Vs higher conning mobs there's some arguments for fear and taps or snare and taps. SKs can xp faster. Palies can in theory kill almost anything that is a blue con if they are patient.
