i have had numerous paladins in the past, my favorite was my prot. so when i made a new 5 box team i knew i would want a prot paladin to boost my newer teams once my first has reached its goal =].

prot paladins are by far the best boosters. plate-concecrate-holy shield-mana/health judgements-dmging aura. ~_~ it's pretty much the best booster out there for you. sure mages can aoe things quickly.. but what happens if they run out of mana =dead. put them together and its 2x faster. i believe Athene did this on his 1 day 3 hours (or something) record breaking char. just boosted it with a prot paly and mage.
