Paladins...is it as bad as they say?

[Quark]

Some people are now calling for paladins to get better attack skills and spells.  I am *very* concerned about this.  The trouble with giving paladins better dps is that then you'd end up with an invicible character who can also damage people hard.  Warriors are bad enough in this regard, but at least they can be killed.  Allow paladins to deal a lot of dps and there wouldn't be any reason to play anything else.

From my somewhat-newish PvP experience, it seems you're concerned that Paladins will become like ... Shamans.

I've had some painful PvP learning experiences, but nothing has been as painful as just trying to figure out how to take a Shaman down, given that they have ways to slow me, knock me out of stealth, slow me again, heal themselves, have ranged and melee damage, and have better armor than classes with half their options.
