#19136, "And so ends the great elf paladin experiment, part deux."


          

I had fun with this character, for the first 40 lvls.

But around lvl 42 is where the exp penalty really started to hurt. Over the last couple weeks, I think I died 6 times for every kill I landed (a real problem for paladins, btw). Before that, I had to have a PK ratio in the %60s-70s. But that's not really important.

I won't say any goodbyes, cause really, I wasn't around that long. But I have to say, Elven paladins are really underrated. Unbelievable tanks (shield ded), above-average damage, good healing, great dam redux, and even a little maledicting. Only downsides were the massive exp penalty (which really didn't matter, until upper ranks), and the scary lack of HP (476 natural on deletion).

Made me feel good when people would run from one-on-one fights with me, even if it was just cause they expected me to spam wrath on them. I think to a few people I proved elf paladins weren't completely powerless.

I had good days and bad days with this character. Some days I spent more time as a ghost than not, other days I was surprisingly slippery. Law of averages, I guess.

I went through a particularly bad stretch for the last several days, and I had another character idea I've been itching to get started, so I decided to end it with a nice suicide attack on the Empire. I almost won too, or so I thought.. briefly.

Oh well, not a memorable character in most people's eyes, but I'm proud of myself for having as much success as I did (in my opinion), with a weakly considered combo.

An elf paladin in the hands of someone who knows what they're doing could be a beast though, mark my words.
