Why play a paladin?

[baalzy]

At lvl 57 paladins get Superior Healing, this puts them on-par with a Druid on healing powers until chloroblast gets added which isn't until a few months into Velious. Paladins can also mana-free ghetto heal with their DW helm, allowing them to give shaman an infinite mana pool. Plus, 90% raise at 59 isn't too shabby either.

Biggest downfall for paladins IMO is that they don't get as strong tank-race choices as SKs do.

step 1: reroll a necro


step 2: solo like it's 2004 (and you're playing WoW)

I'm playing a paladin because I want to tank whilst doing more than hitting auto-attack and have more gear options than Obsidian Shards -> SSoYs and Dex gear for most of my 'life' - leaving SK and Paladin. Pally gear is cheaper, I like their looks better, and have less faction issues. Tried an Erudite SK for awhile, which is my 2nd favorite option, but finding out that you can't even get off Odus without a port or invis was kind of a deal breaker.

The XP penalty is ridiculous though, every hour I think about rerolling warrior.

i think you guys might have missed the point of my post [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]


if you're level 5 and complaining that you can't solo as a paladin, then reroll a necro, WoW style [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Tyrrion.

This guy really knows his stuff and how to play his class. Nice grouping with you in Unrest the other night even though we had that nasty "pull" by you know who. Aggro should always go to the highest bidder!

Anyways, if you're there any time soon would be a pleasure grouping with you again.

Well i hit lvl 7 last night. Granted the exp pen for being a hybrid is rough it cant be as bad as playing a troll or iksar. As for deePwater gear how much does that run? I have a few plat now.


Edit. As for soloing i ment at all lvls. Its not a big deal to me.

Paladin penalty: 40%

Troll/Iksar penalty: 20% which is then affected by whatever class/race penalties (warriors get a bonus, SK & Monk get penalties, shaman get no penalty or bonus)

Troll/Iksar SK penalty is something like 68% (penalties are multiplied, not added).

Mage is more WoW style.

/pet attack

/cast lvl 1 nuke when mob is at 20%

/repeat until 60
