I wanted to show my girlfriend WoW and let her chose the char. She picked rogue, but she played her bad, because she was battling with controls all the time. Second time I pushed paladin on her and she likes it a lot. Now she has lvl 18 dwarven pala called Agunea on Stormrage (in case you meet her :) ) and she likes it a lot. I do a lot "back-office" stuff for her, like recommendations about gear and talents, AH purchases and whatnot, so I her recommended skinning/mining, because with the generated cash (at the insane prices on SR compared to Tich), she can afford very good weapons for her level.
The reasons why she likes it are following:
- Combat is simple and does not require a lot of button pressing and strategy (she has trouble pulling off Seal of Crusader - Judgement - Seal of Righteousness right now)
- Pala is very forgiving char, with bubble and 70% uniterruptible heal it's easy to kill more opposition at once
- Adds and respawns are little to no problem
- Fresh weapons bought at AH (greens for levels 8, 13, 16, 19 and 23) for cash generated from tradeskills let her dps keep up
She still dies, often quite a lot, mostly because she can't do ranged pulls and gets too many adds with inability to escape (the isles in Loch Modan come to mind). She is not used to running, I must admit (I guess if I gave her mage, she would learn that very quickly ;) ). Even I die with her pala sometimes, because I'm overconfident.
The AH stuff is of course possible only because I'm familiar with the game otherwise, but pala itself is very simple and forgiving class to play. If she finds out it's boring at lvl 40+, she'll at least have keyboard+mouse skills to handle more difficult classes to control. But in this regard, there's no competition.
