i didn't say anything about fun factor

i have given a paladin a fungi, cof, and a rod of faith and it's really underwhelming. especially compared to what a game changer the same tier items are for a monk, shaman, war, or even sk/ranger

Welcome to playing a knight class until they remove the exp penalty, and add in the correct bonus to 2 handed weapons. Which I still believe should be done at launch of Velious, not 2 months and 10 months down the road.

Even still the Paladin never does a shitload of damage and he was never supposed to. Paladin is (arguably) the superior tank for everything that isn't a raid boss and one of the benefits is the ability to hold agro without relying solely on expensive gear and procs. Along with calms, heals, roots (doing CC for yourself), DA, and stuns you bring a lot to the table.

A Warrior is completely useless without a healer and can hardly defend himself without the help of others. For as much as we bitch about how Verant created the classes and how some are inherently OP, if Paladin was as strong as a Monk or Warrior how can we reasonably expect him to have all those other skills that are beneficial to dungeon content? What would be the point of having the other classes? (Fast forward 15 years and this is how every other MMO works)

TL - DR - aside from a Fungi, haste item, and a decent 1h and 2h, you start to see diminishing returns on plat invested very quickly on a Pal

This was a goal of mine until I realized the manastone is class restricted to priests/casters. Are you saying that it is in fact clickable from inventory by Paladins? If so that is freakin' awesome ^^. And it returns to my goal list.
