anyone able to give me a good idea of what type of gear to get for a paladin? im assuming they use 1hs and shield till 30?

I used Bronze Armor until I was mid 30's and could solo most of the Ro armor quests. Buy your self a Baton of Faith for level 20+ and the best sword and board combo that you can afford asap. I still use Sword of Morning and Clay Guardian Shield.

Btw, with this set up I solo'd my self to 42 pretty much with only grouping a small hand full of times. Unrest was my solo spot from 20-40.

why are paladins hated so much? they do okay damage and come in handy for spot heals and such

Because people here are a bunch of bitches basically. Bard and SK are the only Hybrids that people support. I am 99.99% sure that people just like SK over Paladin because they are like.. 'Omg dots and skeleton pets are so cool when you're a tank!' Now that might be an over simplified generalization, but pretty sure that's at least 75% of it.

Being the White Knight is more of a younger thing I think. At least it was with me. I loved being the 'Hero'. I still do love being the 'Hero', but I am also a huge kid at heart. *shrugs*

It's one of those examples of why so many people prefer the Dark Side of the Force rather than the Light Side, or why people prefer the Empire over the Rebellion now.

I think you read into it a bit too much. Shadow Knights aren't very preferred over Paladins or Rangers...they're more common, sure, but still usually in the bottom 4 for popularity. That's a hollow victory at best. Shadow Knights generally solo a little more easily than Paladins past the low 20's so that explains that. P1999 tends to be more solo-centric than Live was.

When I play my enchanter I vastly prefer paladins to shadow knights.

Shadow knights who break mezz with disease cloud should be shot. Literally only gets agro 1/2 the time so beware; it's going to go for your enchanter in break. At least with paladins a stun/fol won't break mezz...

I'd say being an edgy, hot-topic knight of darkness "i am evil incarnate" is a lot more childish than seeing the fun in being the classic lawful good.

To some people, the server should be nothing but warriors, enchanters, clerics, rogues and solo monks.

Paladins hit like girls is why. No free Fungi with Troll, Ikky re-gen, no pet, no dots, no FD, no snare, no inviz other than undead, no lev, no enduring breath, no sneak, No Iksars, I could go on and on.

Come to the dark side. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Its fun not to have to worry about faction. Just kill everything you see.

oh wait.. shadowknights get shitty heals, no insta-huge mana heal every hour or so, no rez, shitty buffs, only paci against undead, no flame sword, and trolls and iksars smell like the zoo irl... also the above mentioned about aggro.

If you really want to let it boil down, aside from the FD, the pet, and sneak... every end game raider should have items that have those effects and clicks.. and they tend to not cost mana to cast.

Its mainly why I would have to guess they are given better gear at the current endgame ,but still... they have trouble competing.

You can literally find out everything you need to know with a simple search here and the wiki. Do people not know how to utilize the search function?

Instead of making a condescending post to someone asking a question in Server Chat, you could direct them to the wiki or the class forums, or politely suggest they use the search function.

There has been entirely too much of this attitude in Server Chat lately. I understand, and agree with, the sentiment that people should try to find this information on their own before making a thread, but that doesn't mean we should be rude about it.

OP, you can find the class page for paladin on the wiki here. This link will take you directly to the pre-planar suggested gear options for a Paladin. The wiki has a wide range of tools for selecting class equipment, including a rough pricing guide, full list of equipment (sortable by class, slot, etc), and stats.

There are also class forums where you may be able to hammer out a more specific gear plan for your character. Good luck! Paladin is a tough class that can be very rewarding if you stick it out.

Paladin is actually super fun. Good luck!
