The best group tank in Kunark. So much CC with root, calm and stun. Heals to reduce downtime. LoH will save lives regularly if you're quick with it. Deepwater armor is also very underrated. The helm is amazing when in a duo or trio with a Shaman or Necro and basically gives them infinite Mana. The bracer is a 4 second stun with a 6 second cast and no cool down. Between it, shield/epic bash and your normal cast stun, you can pretty much lock down casting mobs entirely, which is huge in dungeons like Seb and Chardok where spells can really hurt you and eat a lot of healer Mana. Also the easiest epic since you can do most of it before Kunark even comes out. Paladin also capable of tanking all Kunark dragons, although you probably won't.
Basically the most underrated class in classic EQ in my opinion. A good Pally can make up for a pretty bad group just by himself because you have so much control of bad situations between your instant agro, huge amount of CC and heals.
