That being said, you don't need portal or boss beaters to have a successful shroud. Some people just don't know how to use their abilities.
If you have Barbarians or Paladins at full health on portals, it's because they're not using Death Frenzy and Divine Sacrafice (Respectively).
Paladins that still have near-full mana bars are lacking in DPS because I'd say a HUGE chunk of it comes from your SP with Zeal and Divine Favor.
Many Paladins, Fighters, and Barbarians don't even have prestige classes at all, which causes them to lose major DPS.
That being said, My original Paladin had a 20 Strength, I didn't have Divine Might, Divine Sacrafice, Exalted Smite, Divine Favor or Zeal, and I just plain didn't know what I was doing.
The biggest problem I see in this game is the amount of people that EXPECT everyone to know what they're doing with every character. Can you research and look it up? Sure, you can.
But the biggest problem I've been seeing is the number of people that will jump down on someone and say "Oh my god! Your build doesn't have <insert ability here> what a crappy build! Instead of saying: "You know <ability> could help your character out a lot.
At any rate, there are a lot of people that just plain ignore advice, even thoughtful, constructive advice. Either way, the main focus is to remember that this is just a game, and we were all new once.
