Default Question for Solo Paladins

Got a question for high level (55+) paladins who like to solo in dungeons. Did the pacify nerf significantly affect your ability to dungeon crawl tough dungeons solo? I’m thinking places like HS, Seb, Hole, Velks, etc.

I’ve been playing a lot of my monk (54 with fungi) lately and wondering if my paladin (52 with DW helm) is just not gonna be at the same level as a dungeon soloer compared to the monk. Thanks

I got 60 before the upgrade to pacify but generally used DW arms to level with. It’s 33% less aggro range than Harmony. Calm is a third of Soothe and good for crawling or tight pulls.

The only thing I use Pacify for is walking a zone where you need to literally touch mobs like in a tight hallway.

That said, without any exit strategy other than a 1.5 min root (at max) or Cap, pallies don’t really crawl that well on-level. Pacify nerf didn't change much for us.

I main a Paladin who finished leveling to 60 in like 2018, but I still actively dungeon crawl and solo on him. I also have a 60 Monk I don’t play a ton. The Monk will solo better in the majority of situations but the Paladin does fine. I generally use soothe and have few enough resists to really break the potential.

I am a Paladin and refuse to pacify and sneak by things. What sort of lawful holy knight allows evil to just sit there and exist? Pathetic!

Killing the boss is objectively better. Kill the boss behind all his minions backs. They may as well lay down.
Also lets the junior knights get practice to be as righteous as you!

Do you really need another fine steel dagger? That rune of paralyzation could go to a wizard friend of junior Sir Righteous.

All sorts of "Roleplay" options here.

Totally, like arguing "man eating skeletons are just doing their job, let them run free and devour the innocent people of the lands, so we can accuse 1 dark elf of being the bad guy and fail time and time again to do anything about him."

I think it's obvious duik is a shadowknight wearing Mithrill.

Yes. That is correct and makes total sense.

This sounds chaotic nuetral at best, offly roguelike for a man of the cloth.
