Player stat questions

[JustAGuy]

I've noticed, that early on for Paladin, he is much weaker than in previous pushes. Weaker to the point where he can barely take one enemy of equal level on. Later on, he is still weaker (hit point wise) than he would be at an equivalent level in earlier pushes, but it's not as bad since he is more of an offensive threat, if played correctly.

I don't know by how much stats increase, since I haven't been paying attention... Personally, I liked being able to increase my own stats as I see fit; my previous Paladins were hit point beats, making them quite tankable. The only problem was my ability to draw aggro. Now, it's the reverse, I can draw aggro like it's going out of style, and I have less hit points to absorb the forthcoming beating.

I would imagine that at higher levels, my Paladin will have a devastating offense, but still be lacking in defense.

On a side note, I grouped with three other Paladins yesterday, and we absolutely demolished everything. The changes from buffs to auras really helps Paladin party play, and the fact that crusader strike stacks up quickly makes everyone's Holy Strike that much more effective.

EDIT: Forgot one tidbit.
