Angelus is right on here. I have a pure level 16 with over 120 raids under his belt. I absolutely regret taking levels 15 and 16 as a paladin. Should have taken fighter. Kept hoping for high level attention. DEVs keep giving paladins low level updates, and high level enhancements that cost too many action points for the value (ES 3). Much rather have fighter haste 1 and fighter str 1, tower shields, feat, etc. Should have gone 14/2 pally/fighter.
