How to win in CTF

[Rinnhart]

Well, my brief comments were not supposed to be an in depth look at each class.  They were supposed to be a quick reason why I put each class in each spot on the list.  For the most part you seemed to agree with me about the relative difficulty of each class, but your comments were unclear.

In AV I do see a lot of pallys Bubble on their way in, then stun and AOE once or twice, then bubble and run out.

I guess I'm mostly agreeing with MJ that 1) there are a lot of n00b pallys drawn by the fact that 2) PVE and Dualing, Pallys are relativly easy to play.  I do agree with you guys that in a tough instance, a good pally (and there are a few out there) can make a big difference.

Up through around the late 40s, Paladins are a safe class. Easy? No easier than any other. This is not a difficult game. 50+, solo, against PVE content, they're no better than any other class due to limited utility and extremely low dps.

Make it a group situation, PVE, of any size, and it's honestly the players, not the classes.

PvP, and everything's different. A well-geared, well-played paladin can still get his teeth kicked in by an idiot with a rusty dagger and cracked sash if the RNG doesn't roll well for him. The durability of a paladin doesn't matter because players hit far harder than monsters and use stuns, interrupts, and burst damage abilities intelligently.

In group PvP, our lack of ranged damage and inability to close distances quickly or slow opponents (unique amongst the melee centric classes) become glaring weaknesses. So, we become healers or fruitlessly thrash against overwhelming inadequacies.
