you'll want to wield a rogue in your MH for DPS and a warrior in your OH to take the hits

pallies cant dual wield. even if that rogue and warrior were gnomes

I guess I should of stated I didn't mean forever. He said he was almost 20. To assume I meant that is just a bit much.

No need, warriors are meatshields....

All procs should be equalized at this point in the server. Proc rate mods are all 0.

Yeah I thought the Paladin DPS dude was trolling too but I wasn't about to be a dick about it I knew everyone else would take care of that lol

Baton of Faith is good and cheap. Ghoulbane is good in Unrest in 20s but 30+ it really starts to slow down damage-wise

Sword and Board caster mobs - make sure you're keeping up on your bash skillups

2hand everything else

Your job, 100%, beyond anything else is to do damage. Your second job is a very very distant 2nd all things considered.

We know this to be false because if your ability to deal damage somehow interfere's with the rogue's ability to do so (by you losing aggro for example), then the mob would die more slowly, while dealing more damage (in this case to the less efficiently mitigating rogue).

Now I cannot think of any reason why a 2h weapon would interfere with aggro management, so by all means use one since dealing damage is your second concern in a group (right after aggro management) in normal group situations. However there are many other situations in which other activities become more important than dealing damage as well. Paladins are not one trick ponies.

Since when are you not there to do damage?

since forever? paladins are not there to do damage, they are there for the amazing snap aggro which makes them ideal tanks for pug grouping situations

if your group needs damage, that is why you invite dps classes

have you ever gotten a paladin past level 20?

I am not sure he is trolling. It is a valid argument in many ( if not most) other online games, it is just woefully off base in EQ and just demonstrates he has no experience playing a Paladin in EQ.
