Any of you got experience with a paladin?

Pally can be very strong if you gear them up, esp with firey defender. Go dorf obvi to get some hitting power. Lay hands is a nice crutch and everything and I think it does come back on pvp deaths. Most of their offensive spells don't land but they do get greater heal for many of the same levels as druid/shaman and then superior heal at 57. You can't hate on that.

From there they get cancel magic early enough, depends on how dispel counters work here. Hopefully they work, which could be bad for you. Later, the pally gets nullify magic which is pretty effective if you're too cheap (read: don't do hax sol temple $$ quest) to get pumices.

Their root is good for pets and I believe their undead fear works on necro pets in pvp.

Pound for pound I believe if they heal themselves and joust they can beat any melee who doesn't run 1v1 once they get greater heal.
