Paladins get the hardest quest...wow, took you all of 10 seconds to figure that out eh? Of course we do. Moreover, try pointing out our worth to anyone in the high end game, we are just as much a joke as the Rangers.
Paladins are not for those who want easy quests. Paladins are not for those who want everything handed to them on a silver platter, and definitely not for those who want 95% of the game engineered to their needs and desires. This is not a nooB class. Any simpleton can smash and destroy, it takes FINESSE to be a Knight. It takes STYLE, and by god it takes MATURITY, something sorely lacking on my humble server.
On Torvo, there are a grand total of four level 60 paladins. There are several up and coming, however none of them are epic equipped. There are 7 on Torvonnilous with the Defender. I happen to be one of them. I, a mere 52, without an uberguild, by working my ever loving *** off, managed to do the virtually impossible. So what if a bunch of warriors think the blade sucks. These are the same simpletons who turn on autoattack, then go afk in a major engagement because a brain dead chimpanzee could play that class. This weapon is more than a simple beatstick...it is a mark of honor. It shows that by god, you earned your place, made your mark, and have the courage and force of will to dare to tilt at windmills.
