He's referring to my post, not yours.

Clarify the "he's" and the "yours". He quoted and replied to my post. If I'm the "He's and DC's the "yours" then you're correct.

I was referring to solo PvE.

So was I.

It's VERY difficult to die in solo PvE combat if you're even the slightest bit cautious, and I truly fail to see how a Paladin can die in solo PvE combat without having done something supremely stupid; they have the ability to heal,

Can't heal while moving, healing extends how far the mob will chase you.

wear plate armor, bubble up,

Behold, our only advantages.

and the ability to instantly kill most snares and roots via either Blessing of Freedom or (more commonly) Cleanse.

Applies to a remarkable minority of PvE situations as neither spell mitigates daze, and lacking a snare, root, fast casting speed boost, the ability to dispell snares and roots means little in how well we can run away. Really it means we're slightly better equipped to close short distances against opponents who aren't attempting to flee.

Then again, Level 18 isn't the same as Level 60, but I've seen Paladins solo things that other classes can't.

A level 20 paladin does significantly more damage, on a percentage basis, than a level 60. A level 60 paladin does nothing that an equal level rogue or hunter can't do, and do much faster.
