Since you have the BoF and bronze, 5/55 rings should be your next purchase. After that, start picking up Ro or Deepwater armor.

+1 to the 5/55 platinum fire wedding rings. They're a great value. Also look out for the RO armor. I remember a few pieces of that being really nice. I think the boots have a good amount of HP on them. When you have some extra money getting a ghoulbane might enable you to do some effective soloing versus undead, but since you already have a BoF I'd put that on the back burner until you round out the ret of your gear.
While you might not be the best soloer as other people have mentioned, being a hybrid opens you up to a lot of non-traditional group configurations. Don't be like some players and always look for the perfect group dynamic. As a hybrid you're a pretty versitile class and you can really adapt your play style to meet the needs of the group. If you're having trouble finding groups look for players around your level and location and partner up. Most of the groups I got leveling up as a hybrid started as duos or trios. Anyway, welcome to the game and server! Despite what you might read on the forums, I think you'll find most players on the server a friendly and more than willing to help out a new player. | ||

None of the Hybrids got much better till AA's came out. And that ain't happening on here so.

I remember, at least back in the day, running into a Fear at a low levels as a paladin and SK, and waiting for extra paladin/sk gear to drop that no one needed when a raid was going on.
Just be prepared to die a lot, and don't expect anyone to help you, especially if you pull aggro and definitely don't train anyone lol. Also, to what Danth has said, I played pally on live up to 58 and it was a chore to level him up even though he was my favorite. However, I hear during Velious paladins got a significant buff and if you play EQ now, they are very desired and can solo undead mobs pretty well. But on P1999, its a long long road, and I wish you the best. At least you will probably get most of the Pally only items on raids [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||

So what all exactly improves for paladins in Velious?
1. Hybrid penalty goes away 2. New spells (group heal, hp buff, damage+threat spell) 3. A couple disciplines 4. Higher skillcaps? 5. Better melee table? It sounds like a lot of stuff I guess, but do paladins really become much more powerful? #1 is a big deal, but it's really just a quality-of-life thing, not a "buff," especially since it isn't retroactive. The spells and disciplines seem like situational gimmicks more than anything else, thanks to their long cooldowns and/or mediocre effects. Do #4 and #5 happen? Are they really very significant? | ||

to the OP;
use flash of light for tanking. once you are on the mobs aggro list and you cast flash of light it will never run from you. you may have had mobs run randomly from it before, but it will never happen if attack it once/shoot it with a bow. when you're tanking in a group and have the mob on you just cast flash of light 2-3 times on it and you will pretty much be the best tank around. | ||
