No he wasn't. He was a ranger.

Looks like a buckethead to me. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Correct, a human ranger.

It is not garbage. Velious mobs have a LOT more HP than Kunark mobs, so if you can't kill shit on one now what changes in Velious?? Better gear and weapons, every class gets that. Why are they the LEAST played class on here? They just suck at DPS.

They make pretty good pullers in Velious and not bad assisting the Main tank. But they have no good damage midigation like a Warrior or Monk so they get the crap beat out of them.

I KNOW a lot about Velious because I have played this game nonstop since the very beginning of 2000. I play P1999, Live, EQMac and the Sleeper server right now. I am retired and play 12 to 14 hours a day. I sort of know a little bit about EQ, It is the only game I play. I have a Paladin on every server I play. So I know what they can and can not do.

paladins get crititical hit vs undead in velious.

Wrong, in Luclin with AA.

I haven't read anything but the title, but all I have to say is:

We don't need defending, capice? We do the defending.

For Brell's sake man! Respect yourself!

Hey, the idea of a Paladin is sort of like a Ranger. They sound great on paper but just don't work out on here

Statements like this (after having spent well over 330 days in DWF PAL skin) make think two things:

1. Is this guy playing the same game I am?
2. What in the hell am I missing here?

I truly believe every class is worth having around if played well. You can min/max and state who is the best at a given task by the numbers, but I find the player makes up for most anything...

I see a lot of people who haven't grouped with a decent paladin. It is enough to shake my head at.

Frodilbo agrees with this thread

I dont buy into this player skill > class thing. I DO however think that if two classes are CLOSE in something.. the player skill can make up the difference. I agree with the every class is worth having around camp.
