Worse thing about playing a Paladin.....(contaned inside).

[Erati]

I engaged Faydedar around a month ago with my decked out 60 paly and I swear I probably missed attacks 60% of the silly 40 sec or whatever fight

for reference- an unhasted lvl 52 N/V monk out DPS'd him by like 300 damage lol

Thankfully, Flash of Light is such a solid aggro spell, cause I miss so damn often. It's a miracle when I string together hits.

But I loves my Paladin.

A miss gets the same agro as a hit. Melee agro is per swing and is affected by weapon base damage & primary hand damage bonus if applicable, and is reduced by a fixed percentage for 2handers. High strength will do more damage, which is good in and of itself, but it has zero effect on melee threat.

is this different for pets? my pet will definitely not take aggro on a mob until it gets a hit or two in, assuming i've snared the mob or something

I don't know if there are powerful enough drugs available to treat self-loathing so strong it leads you to delevel a paladin on p99. Oh wait, you play on red, right? nm

I have some pretty sad news for anyone that thinks a Paladin gets better in Velious. They get a little better but the Mobs get a LOT better. So if you think you can't kill anything now just wait. It ain't going to be pretty. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But they do make good pullers in a group in Velious I will give them that.

Paladins actually do get better in velious. Like you said, mobs get a lot better, therefore less solo, therefore, more groups.

Groups need tanks, paladins are the best tank for groups. DPS can relax their clenched anus because they don't steal agro when they start doing their thing when a paladin is tanking.

This makes it a more pleasurable experience to play with a pally. Tougher mobs is actually a great things for them.
