heya player EQ2 a lot as a brigand but now I'm comming back and I must role a tank (brother will healer and sister in law going to be a summoner).

I played a paladin in everquest 1 and enjoyed him a lot because of the survavibility I was adding to the group. Very rarely 1 of my groupmate would die if I'm not dead myself.

I had the worst DPS out of all tanks, was a bit harder to heal but very rarely anyone would die befour me in my group. Realy fast group heals, HoTs and single target direct healing + good group defencive buff.

1) What is the gameplay of an EQ2 pally ?

2)Do you just spam your "hate tools" while casting a few self-heals or you can spot heals sometimes when things get messy ?

3) Do you feel like your group is thougher then if you where a SK, zerker or a guard ?

well maybe I have not made it clear (english isn't my language).

Are paladin in EQ2 feel like real paladin ? Ex: Using spot healing, warding ETC on teamate to save their ass in messy situation (kinda like I did in EQ1 for years).

Or they feel like a warriors (only thinking about aggro management) but they get words like "holy" and "bless" in their skill.

Kinda like my paladin in World of Warcraft felt like.

Your heals are not going to be anything to save your group from dying. At the very best they will add to your survivability. Paladins main role is as an off tank or adds tank. We get an ability called amends which makes us versatile in the respect we don't need a traditional tank group setup to get shit done.

You will have top rate aggro (especially multi mob) but not as much survivability. Its a solid class and if played/geared well you can tank anything in the game......

A Paladin is a hybrid class we can heal but not terrible well our main job is as a Tank holding aggro and in most guilds we are used as off tanks in raids to grab adds and keep them off the Main Tank.

For your little group as long as you have a healer you will do just fine.

WOW Paladins are very good at healing but in EQII our heals are very much tertiary after our Melee and Damage spells.

Paladins are a hell of a lot of fun to play.

Good group tanks, Excellent Raid Off Tanks And when well geared a viable Main Tank.

I've never regretted being a Paladin in EQ2.

I have 10 toons and my Paladin is my favorite made day one of the this game...Never will be replaced...!!!! tell your sister in law to roll a dirge or chanter...

Will you feel the same way about Paladin once Asslik shits his fighter revamp all over the class, turning us into gimped Guardians?

We have been the bottom of the pile for a long time and only reason people played us since KoS was Amends and every time we ask for "tweaks" you get a 10 pages of posts of how amends is sooo overpowered when often you don't even use it.... tbh I'd be glad when they remove amends peopel may actually pay attention when we have issues such as stonewall; ward needs scaling/casting speed increase and numerous other issues that have been ignored by amends haters.

/rant off.

I see you're familiar with the simple-minded poo flingers that play brawlers.
