c2) People will not want to group with you because of the EXP penalty you bring to groups. Seriously, do not underestimate the EXP penalty.


Edit: to answer your question, there is nothing that a paladin can duo / trio that a monk couldn't do better. Your DPS is way worse, you leech more EXP, and you dodge far less than a monk. Anyone in their right mind would not duo / trio with a pally.

I just started leveling another char a couple months ago and I have to say this time around there is very little chance to escape an exp penalty in a group. I don't think I have been in a group without at least 1 ranger and a great deal of the time a bard and sk/pally tanking.

On another note, an iksar monk has a higher exp penalty (44%) than any pally.

My advice to OP is to play whatever class you want, people need tanks so I wouldn't expect a group sitting around waiting for one to turn you down because of the exp penalty. Or better yet, make friends with a cleric and you guys will be the one deciding who gets an invite.
