Been playing one recently and though I am not hero yet they just seem not to match up. Ill tough it out and hero but just wanted to hear other peoples thoughts on it.

It really depends on the damage output and how good you are with anticipate. Most paladins just spam wrath since it's the most mana efficient damage with 1 round of lag.....it'd be tough to beat that with use of other stuff (as I found out as a champion).

Haven't played one but I will say the dwarf paladin I fought with my AP was cute with anticipating bash He still died horribly...

whip out that skill that gives you all of those unblockable attacks and let your foe lag themselves to death.

Your unblockable attack grazes AP with (A/B/S Protection)!

That which does not kill us,
makes us stronger.

But I think the last Monk paladin I fought hit me a fair bit harder than that through abs.

I'm a little tired from driving around in the heat though, so maybe I'm misremembering.
