haha you're very close! My paladin hatred goes back to my live days as a rogue, knockback stuns pushing mobs behind me, paladin buffs overwriting my atk buffs, paladins that didn't understand agro mechanics and would just stunlock mobs making positioning horrible.

A warrior friend and I shared this hatred and a lot of it came from him but it stuck around for nostalgia sake. Down with paladins!

Hates paladins.



Doesn't hate the bad player piloting the paladin.




Paladin is fucking awesome. This nonsense about not being able to solo is a sham too. 70% of mine has been solo and I rock that shit yo. Far better soloing than the other melee classes

I like paladins but I don't buy this. Shadowknights and monks can fear-kite; that alone would make soloing with them a lot more efficient than with a paladin. You can cast weak undead nukes and heal yourself all you want, but you're going to spend a lot of mana on that. Monks get superior DPS and free self-heal; SKs get a pet and snares.

my war was a beast solo, at least until 40 when i sold my account long before they banned it people don't get excited!

his dps was monstrous though, living under 20% for crips wasn't really fair for classic mobs though.

I'm level 52 and it's been 99.95 solo. Not much of it was undead either, tbh, I found it more challenging to not stick with undead. I've shelved him for now until the xp nerf goes away come Velious, unless I get the itch again!

I'm not saying you CAN'T solo as a paladin, just that it'll be slower than soloing with almost any other class.

Oh that's definitely true, you don't solo as a paladin for the fast track to 60...it's more of a "enjoy the journey instead of the destination" kind of thing!!
