Paladin Pep Talk

[Valamore]

Hi guys,

So I just started playing p99 and decided for nostalgic purposes that I would play as a Paladin since that was the first ever character that I made back in Vanilla!

The only problem is I'm kind of concerned about the class...I feel like I'm going to end up really underpowered in later levels, so I was wondering if there were any mid or higher level Pallys out there that I could bounce some questions off?

I'm assuming that Paladins are meant to be a tank role character, however I feel like taunt isn't working very well at my level right now (at level 5) even when it says it has. Iv been in a group and tried to taunt and it doesnt end up doing anything for me...Is this going to get better? Because I think my overall damage output is really low, so how would you go about keeping a mob on you as a tank?

I don't mind putting hard work in, just want some reassurance that there is light at the end of the tunnel later in life. Any successful Paladins out there care to shed some light on the subject? Any tips, pointers or advise would be Much appreciated!

Thanks.
