Better yet, why don't you roll up one of your amazing paladins and show her how it's done.

There's more than a little in your posts that I find offensive, but for starters, take a look at:

carrion.gameshadow.com/cforum/messages/34631.html

Torria basically told Shokai (An Immortal) to screw off, and that he and his (Maran) couldn't touch her. And what do you think happened, next? Torria made it into my role, you jerk. I don't like killing naked people. I especially don't like killing naked people that are obviously newbies and can easily be found in Galadon or the Inn. I *especially* don't like killing naked newbies that go down with a single supplication (wrath) and have a snowball's chance in hell of scratching me with even minimal protections or preparation. That's not what I play the game for. But Torria insisted on the treatment. It got to where I'd intentionally have to avoid Galadon or the Inn to avoid having to kill her. Or I'd just have to walk away and eat the role contradiction. Personally, I breathed a happy sigh when she finally deleted.

As for the rest of your posts, no offense, but I've never had a character that died to a wrath-spamming paladin. Will I spam wrath mindlessly? Sure, if that's all it takes and that's the most expedient way to get the kill. Were there fights when I underestimated someone and spammed wrath mindlessly? Yes, once against a fire shaman, who almost got away because of it, and another time against a shifted muter (I was convinced he'd just flee after one wrath and I'd need the track). Does it usually involve more prep or conscious involvement than mindlessly spamming wrath when someone competent is at the other end? Yes. Wrath-spamming is only overpowered to people unwilling to look at their own mistakes in a battle and learn from them.

Anyway, lay off her and paladins. If you think you can do it better, do it. Otherwise, hush up.
