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

[Drasca]

Just a quick question - do most of the paladins you face use two handers? I find I tend to survive longer after that initial mortal strike by switching to sword and board.

Most solo paladins I face depend on pathetic melee dps, and slow 2 handers are usually required. You're smarter to use S&S to absorb damage, which is more appropriate to paladin - wear down enemy strategy. The smart ones play healer / debuff remover in plate and optimize that.

I laugh at solo paladins. Most pick extremely slow weapons that almost never interrupt casts, and now that I have plenty of +dmg equip, I may simply Curse of Tongues, shadowbolt while they chink at me with slow melee, fear and finish them off.

Felhunter to remove silly HoJ stun and interrupt heals is optimal, but any pet is nice.
