In Reply to: Hello everyone, I am writing a guide to playing a Paladin in Thera. I would like all opinions of the class (PvP aspects, and Roleplaying comments) geared toward a budding Paladin. Thanks! posted by Nicolette on July 2, 2000 at 13:44:34:
Immediate suggestions that come to mind (from a mid ranked perspective): 1. Mechanical wise, you must have a client of some sort to play a 2hand spec. Unless you can type very, very fast, you'll have problems getting templars defense commands in. 2. Roleplaying wise: The most annoying trait that some paladins have is a lack of humility. I feel a warrior of the Light should be humble and listen as much as they preach. The more annoying paladins often choose to lecture to the converted, and treat others condescendingly, which seems to go against the first part of the Code. Not many people look up to a condescending lecturer (unless s/he is very, very good, and, unsurprisingly, the very very good that you can remember were generally not condescending). 3. Mechanical wise: You'll find you'll usually run out of mana more than needing to hit harder or stay in combat longer. Part of this is the lack of trance and the big budget supplications. Prepare for mana shortage. 4. Roleplaying wise: Stay on at least 45 minutes which each log in. All I can think on for now. Wrath to the Wicked.
