Why play a paladin?

[Shaper]

I have my paladin up to lvl 5 right now and was wondering if i should continue or just reroll while im still low lvl. I love the idea of a holy full plate warrior just seems kinda slow solo wise right now. Name is swishy human pal.

I have been in some very successful, yet unorthidox groups with Paladin's in the past. On my warrior I have been in a group with a Paladin, a Ranger, a Rogue, and a Bard with no healer and we held the Captain spawn in Karnor's no problem. Soloing in EQ is always slow, I would suggest finding a group of players and try to level with them. Grouping is the way to go unless your class is meant for soloing such as a Magician, Enchanter, or Necromancer.

Once you get a few more levels and start groupin with others I think you'll see the fun factor of a Paladin go up a lot. Those first few levels are always a little bit slow for a lot of classes, but I really wouldn't judge how you feel about the class until you give it a little longer. If you think you'll enjoy it I am pretty sure you will!

Just asking, but why would enchanters be any good at solo? Their spells do very little damage, not very mana efficient. A mage usually can solo a lot stronger stuff than enchanter.

Enchanter is one of the few classes I have not played, so don't know much about them.

charm 2 mobs = mob dps to 2 mobs simultaneously = most mana efficient and highest dps in the game

You can solo better with other classes. Pure casters, most priests, a Bard even. The SK if given fear room does at least as well as a Pally but put them in a box and life gets scary.

Think about it though: You CAN solo at high levels.

Jack Sparrow: The only rules that really matter are these: what a man can do and what a man can't do.

once epics hit pal/sk can solo pretty good without having to fear on certain mobs anyway.

where exactly did you get the idea that paladins were a solo class? your a tank that means find a group. hit up ec for an orc group or something
