Paladins in PvP

[Nirgon]

1v1 a 50 paladin in equivalent gear should beat a 50 SK in equivalent gear, if they're both men about it or fight on the arena platform.

Quite possibly I'd say this could be a coin flip. Maybe a slight advantage to the pally because of the lame 1v1 in the arena situation, but in a "real" PvP situation, the SK should never die to a Paladin.

Comparing a 300hp heal vs the SK's lifetap is an illogical way to compare the 2 classes.

Yeah its kind of an "on paper" assessment. The real bonus to the SK is being a large race, duh obvi right. Don't forget also the paladin gets both counteract poison and disease along with some lower end magic buff when it isn't available otherwise. Inb4 people will always have cure potions on them.

I'd like to think more of real word PvP to look at it properly.

The Paladin should never kill the SK. The SK can go FD into mobs, shadowstep, invis, etc....
