Say what you will about class balance and such, comparatively few paladins ever make it past level 45 or so... for a variety of reasons.
Your mileage may vary, but a beef I personally had with playing a hybrid was the dreadful class balance in classic EQ. Yes, your agro is excellent, but a decent monk and warrior after 50 bring enough agro to function, just as much mitigation as you, 3-4x more dps, and except for an iksar monk, take a smaller share of the group's xp.
