The Priest vs Pally healer might be personal preference but I'm rocking a pally healer on the private server at the moment and the lack of AOE heals and a HOT/PWS annoy me.. Shackle is also much better than fear undead when running strat/scholo... the buffs from Pallys are better but Fort/ShadowResistance is still very good and you don't have to reapply it to 5 ppl every 15 mins
I hear you. Thanks for the input. For me I'd like to raid as a paladin, so that means having a paladin either tanking or healing for my 5 man team. In my opinion paladins can tank just fine in any dungeon. For single target, cc pulls they may be inferior to warriors but I think they are more than capable of holding threat - especially with salv on the DPS. Also I recently got the idea of leveling a 2nd team of 3pally+2 mage. Then I would have 5 mages and 5 paladins. Single class teams are a blast in pvp.
