Can solo plenty fine, gb nice for undead, but the better kunark weapons are legit vs anything, just takes a long time, think of all your med time being face time with a mob rather then afk between burns on a wiz its like the opposite.

* just a quick update to clarify

It takes a long time to kill a mob, its actally faster to med mana back from killing then it is to actually bring one down as a melee solo in this game. Pallies are slow killers. The posts below mention low hp undead... its possible. Some poor guy doing it in guk on R99 solo undead mobs probably, i told them to move to com till 50 =P

But there is no "solo build" for classes in this game they come pre-built that way or not.

Yeah what Pasi said -- forget ghoulbane, or really anything else. Baton of faith can literally be picked up for about 200pp or even less and is 30/40 2HB. The DPS on this post 20 trashes ghoulbane even vs. undead. As an untwinked paladin there really is no other answer for a cheap, effective weapon. Additionally, there aren't a whole lot of droppable upgrades to a BoF and most of them are fairly expensive for a first time character.

My experience here with this is my first char on P99 was a paladin, who I took up to about 52. I did get a ghoulbane around level 20 (and it was expensive/took a lotta jumping through hoops to afford). Lvl 20 is when it starts proccing. It WAS a lot of fun in unrest and seemed pretty overpowered, but as soon as I saw another pally w a BoF I realized I had made a mistake. Sold the GB for a few pieces of DW and never looked back.

Also as to the paladin class in general -- I loved it right up until about 50. Post 50 (even 40s) even with amazing equipment your DPS is almost inconsequential. Someone earlier said gun to your head, just pull the trigger on that gun instead of solo leveling a pally, and I'd have to agree. A paladin's strength is their (essentially awesome) snap aggro, making them good tanks for experience groups. Their heals / undead nukes in theory make them sound like they could solo, but the dps is just not there to do in any way that is even marginally efficient.

Without a fungi tunic i wouldn't bother if strict soloing is your goal. Once you hit 45, a Deepwater helm will help a lot - but dark blue mobs become harder and harder to solo. The exp will not be good.

I played a Paladin to 65 on live, I'd solo if i only had 5 minutes to play or while I was LFG. But the xp in groups is unquestionably better and, without raid gear, you won't be taking on targets solo of any real value.

BEHOLD! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTuOr2vlC-c

The Vietnam flashback version is a bit of YouTube creativity, better than the original (and with YouTube you know there's always a bunch of others!)
