Shaman or Bard viability/desirability.

If you are using capitals and WANT to be a paladin, then exp penalty be damned.

^ True, but I also am deterred by not being able to solo worth a poop, and amounting to an low dps weak buff bot with pad heals anytime I'm not tanking. Plus Pallys are missing alot of fun spells like Cease/Desist/Valor of Marr/Instrument of Nife/Prexus healing wave, etc ( all Luclin era spells IIRC).

I played a Pally on live for a while, and saving peoples bacon with LoH and quick target swapping and stun spam was fun. Not being wanted at all after EXPing was done wasn't so much fun though.

Ahh I didn't realize Bards had a penalty aswell. Hmm.

[Obsidus]

Haha, maybe I will just go with a Pally then. I'm just worried about high level desirability (if I set aside nit picking and the exp penalty). I've always been a tank at heart.
