![]() If you're having fun playing a combination of class and race that is not the norm, then does it really matter in the end...?

![]() paladins are the 2nd worst PvE class in the game, that's why no one plays them

In addition to all the other toys(roots, stuns, heals, buffs and LoH) this makes a Paladin a very good, if not the best, choice for any exp group. When sufficiently geared the Paladin can also take on raid targets(as evident by Zekay's post). The greatest challenge a Paladin faces when leveling up is the class difficulties when it comes to soloing. Very few spells the Paladin gets actually does damage(none of which are very mana efficient or pose other restrictions). For this the class feels weak. Also, being mr good guy is not as cool as the SK. In short, a Paladin makes everyone else's lives easier. It won't show in parses though so this obviously means the Paladins never do anything useful(not saying you claim this but there certainly are certain cretins in this thread who seem to believe this). | |||

![]() I really enjoy my Paladin when I can get in a 3+ sized group tanking difficult mobs. Great mitigation, can help with CC, holding aggro is easy mode, spot heals to take some pressure off healers & make odd groups work.
I really don't enjoy my Paladin when I log in and all the group spots already have a tank. I don't deal much damage so I can't contribute much besides the CC and (usually unnecessary) off tanking. I can solo but it's slow and boring. I'd rather play another character than sit around LFG or faced with a horribly slow solo session. Paladin is an awesome group tank but there's where the awesomeness ends. Solo - slow, lack of utility to get around or camp interesting places; raids - unneeded, only tanks for novelty reasons; duo - so many better options mostly because Pally has low damage. Of course this is ignoring the most important aspect of any character: fashionquest. Paladins are top contenders with sexy plate armor and flaming swords. A Paladin in full plate just looks damn good, even the Dwarves. | ||

![]() This thread has a lot of Paladins aren't the best at anything outside of group tank so they are worthless. The argument really doesn't hold water that if a class isn't the best at something they can't contribute. So at a raid no one besides rogues should dps and no one besides clerics should heal? I won't say the class is essential but in all honesty if everyone in your raid was just warriors and clerics you could do almost all the content.
At every raid there is tanking/buffing/healing/dpsing/cc a good Paladin will probably do 3-5 of these tasks to some or a major extent at every raid. There are a lot of classes you don't need, your raid is just a lot better off for having them. This thread kind of lacks out of the box thinking, or even in the box thinking.

When you watch the two classes performing side by side you quickly realize just how poor a performance the paladin shows. It's not a matter of extreme min/maxing paladin really is that much worse. | |||
