the secret to playing a good paladin is not playing one - and rolling a warrior instead. after you get proc'ing weapons and other classes understand how to mitigate aggro - youll be happy you forgot about Paladin which is completely pointless in this era. nobody plays paladins or rangers or wizards on P99 for a very good reason.

Paladins can be better than wars for tanking raid mobs and trash that don't require defensive because they can snap agro almost instantly and the dps doesn't have to wait to engage.

Sure, you want wars for the big stuff, but you want paladins for the rest.

Wars can just use clickies for snap aggro though, and then *also* have defensive and more hp and ac for harder targets.

I'd definitely prefer a good pally for like a KC or seb pickup group over a completely ungeared warrior of the same level, but if somebody wants to play a tank and only has enough free time to level\gear one character they might as well make a warrior, at least on p99

If someone only has enough free time to level/gear one character and they pick warrior, they will never have the gear/time to be a raid tank.

Not with account sharing!

Pretty much every raid guild I've ever been in has like five people minimum who have access to the main tank's info.
