A geared warrior will always beat you in damage, tanking ability and just being cool.
1-40 wurmslayers are an amazing thing for agro
40+ is when good proc weapons start to work
52+ is when they get evasive, and believe me that a Miss is just as much agro as a 500+ damage crip

Not only are you in a gigantic uphill battle in a 9 year old server where people have dozens of level 60 epiced out alts who can switch to at a moments notice you will never be.. needed. Your group heal is weak and big agro, your HoT is weak but kinda useful and your hp buff really isnt a huge deal since most will prefer SoN anyways since the 125hp diff wont mean dick to dps and most casters/healers hide anyways.

If you have zero ambition for end game, go paladin but if you wanna be a big dick raider then cleric.
This guy nailed it - harsh but the truth.

If you plan to hit 60, raid a lot high-end contents, become a key raid contributor, etc. then cleric.

If you want social fun with small groups and not care about min-max or comparing with the top dogs on server, then paladin.

Also, melees are typically more gear dependent. Sure you can play without good gears, but people WILL notice the diff when a monk tanks better than you.
