Never played a paladin. How is the healing? If it sucks, then what's the point of a pally?
If played right i can solo heal a group doing a dungeon with paly doign heal duty and a tank. or i can tank and mostly self heal.
I solo COV mobs pretty easily, using dps merc not heal merc. I did shark named and ALMOST soloed it, but the dot ended up getting me. Did several TOV named Molo(dps merc)
Group wise, my paly has same AC as my SK using same gear/aa. I could solo ROS undead at 108, SK couldnt till 110.
Solo Mob Paly does better, specially if its undead.
Multi Mobs SK does better because of proc heals off buffs, and lifetaps. UNLESS they are undead and then the paly mowes them.
I currently have War 115 max aa, COV t3 geared 12.5k ac. 115 Paly max aa, COV t3 geared 8.8k ac, 115 SK max aa, COV t3 geared 8.7k ac (think the difference is the paly has 1 aa from ROK that sk doesnt have yet)
I currently use the SK the most simply because of CWTN SK plugin, but i love the paly more (delightedly waiting patiently for that plugin then sk and war get parked)
