> where were all of you when we we didn't have these two-handed and shield stuff. Paladins will kick some more ass but they still kicked ass with out this new skills/sup. Now there are going to be about 10000 new paladins running around trying to get empowered and all and most of the paladins are going to be people that don't know what they are doing. and there going to be asking eveyone where there Imm's shrine is and getting pissed off when they don't find it. Paladins are and elite group of warriors that only few can play well. So, what i am saying is we don't need so many damn paladins running around attack everything in sight and just being stupid. Paladins take a lot of time that is spent most of the time role-playing or pray to get empowerment or get a tattoo. I am not saying not play paladins we just don't need a 10000 of them. Ok
> Tuyhon, Servant of the Dawn
I would say anyone who plays a Dawn doesn't really know what the fuck they're doing, since Dawn A) gives you no risk at all, you have your powers all the time
B) idiots abound within the dawn, getting gear for gear-minded people rather than people that stay in-character with a good role sucks ass. C) It's a peaceful
Cabal unlike the Knights, which should still be in the realm, though people can't seem to play the rules of honorable combat correctly. In general, no, most
people shouldn't be paladins, but arguing why a Servant of the Dawn *should* in fact be one of those "elite" people who should play them is a complete hypocrisy.
