Most people dont play Paladins right that is they hold their LoH's, they dont CC, they dont stun, they dont pacify.
The psych of a Paladin is to be a defensive tank/crowd controlling/snap agro gloryboy who saves lives when it counts. Shadowknights have alot of solo utilities and are pretty OP in that regards (CoS, FD, Summon Corpse, Self DMF, Life taps).
Lay On Hands is gunna save lives, it's going to save groups from wipes. When your chanter gets mega agro as he is chain mezzing 5 mobs and he hits that 20% hp mark. Now's your time to shine and pop yoir healing touch, stun the mobs and help him CC all while holding agro on a mob. Without a paladin doing this the group wipes.
Paladins get Enstill. Use it. Use it to get mobs off people. Use it to get agro use it to crowd control. Whats that you say? 3 mobs inc no problems.
Always have 1-2 stuns up in xp/farm groups. Did you know you can stun a mob....then root it to get it the cleric? Did you know when that mob starts to cast ice comet you can stun it?
Whats that? No puller? No cc? No problem a paladin can step up and pacify that 3 mob pull in addition to ghetto CCing resist breaks/adds.
The amount of paladins I see who just melee and cast a few heals/stuns and think they are doing it right is about 80% of people who play Paladins.
Sit at all times between pulls to get maximum efficiency of your mana bar, your mana is your key to been a good paladin and a great Paladin.
The problem is the psych of mmo's has changed to DPS charts so people forget utility and if you're playing a Paladin for dps ur doing it waaaaaaaaaaaay wrong.
Also 90% rez at 59 gunna make you alot of Pals.
And dont get me started on the new HoT heal....that thing is OP.
