Paladins

[gnomishfirework]

I've never pvp'd as a paladin. I wanted to go melee and was gonna go warrior, but somehow ended up as a paladin.

How are pallys in pvp? I imagine stun and fol aren't very good against people with decent mr (as well as root). Still, a get out of death free card is nice.

I imagine they're a lot better come kunark/velious. HoT and uh... DA I guess. I dunno shit about anything. I just need to justify being a paladin over an Sk who can get slam.

they are amazing. welcome to eq.

Had someone 4 levels below me today with no MR gear resist 5 roots and 3 flashes in a row. I can post the SS if you want.

What he said.

you wont get many solo kills, you will help your pals get kills and help them not die and never die. you'll get to rp being a good guy hero while griefing the fuck out of everyone, its a good deal.

[gnomishfirework]

lol. I'll still get kills. Lots of bad players out there.

Epic gives you 2h bash I think?

something like that. it does exist (and not just AAs. I remember it from before AAs -- I think anyway). I never had a high level sk/pally. I always thought it was 55+ you just got bash with 2 handers like rangers/warriors got interrupt with kick (i know thats not true now, but i used to think that).

i've always wondered this my self, what lets you bash? can you bash with any weapons with AC on them or is this effect limited to the epic/flaming swords?

[Knuckle]

epic specifically lets you 2hand bash.

[pickled_heretic]

epic specifically lets you 2hand bash.

it's not specific to the epic though right? soulfire and fiery avenger let you bash too.

[Knuckle]

Right, pre epic line leading to epic...but not anything unrelated to quest gives paladins this benefit.

[gnomishfirework]

oh. nice. soulfire bashes? i dont remember that on my pally. nice. i may just not remember, or i could be stupid.

You can't bash with a soul fire or firey avenger, only the defender.

[pickled_heretic]

wrong, you can definitely bash with the FA, i see paladins do it all the time.

[burkemi5]

you can't bash with soulfire, only FA / FD
