Old school Paladin returning, but lots of questions.

Sigh. Basically on a lot of raids you end up dying a lot. If a mob DTs it'll be you or a ranger that is tasked with making the pull/ taking the DT. Or, in Seb, you end up training Juggs away from Trak to get the guild a clean engage.

Basically, you die so the guild can succeed. If I was into rping it'd be all about the noble sacrifice that I was making. Instead it's just a backwards notch on the xp bar.

If someone else ends up doing that, though, you basically join the DPS train against the mob or do important work like dispelling slows on DPS melee classes during a fight like Gore.

I have had the joy of tanking some of the outdoor dragons/ planar minibosses, though. Sev and Maestro were both pretty easily handled by me on the tanking front and I know Fay is also very tankable by a paly.

Basically, be willing to die and take it in stride or you'll throw your computer across the room.

It should also be noted that come Velious you will get a buff or two that people will actually want so you'll be part of the buffing crew for raids. Also with the armor quality increases you'll be a pretty useful offtank for adds.

I forget, didnt Clerics get a 95% Rez at some point?
