Root + DW helm alters pally soloing 44+. It'll still take forever and a day due to low DPS, but you can outheal, mana free.

Not so true as you might wish. You can't sit while waiting out the cast time on the hat, so it's not actually mana free as you're losing the med ticks while you heal. You heal faster than sitting & casting normally, but with how easy it is to time casts to med ticks here it's not really game changing, just a mild speed-up. Either way any mob you can reliably stick root to is soloable, and if you can't stick root reliably you're shit-outa-luck. Also, unless you have certain access to 90% or better rez, or you're soloing at a zone line, the occasional death will cost multiple hours of solo progress.
There are a few places it a 40+ paladin can solo for xp rather slowly, and a few more that you can solo incredibly slowly, but really it's a shit way to play EQ. Why play if you're not having fun? Paladin is a tank, and as such needs a group to be effective doing anything other than farming greens for tradeskill mats. And it can be tough finding a group on a server where it often seems that 99% of the player population si mindlessly fapping to their xp/kill like some crowd of masturbating robots.
