One of my chars is a sword and shield pure half orc paladin vanguard

He may not be the most powerful build. But he stands like a giant, stuns like crazy, knocks enemies over like bowling pins. Fun to play, and can take quite the beating before going down. One caveat though, vanguard tends to be fairly equipment dependent. Paladins might want to start as a sacred defender / chalice and move to vanguard after getting some good named shields.

For endgame I've got him decked him out in executioner platemail and helm and is working on a 5 piece slaver set. Demon Slab is by far the best vanguard shield in the game and I'm using a legendary green khopesh. ( Also UMD so I can use master touch scrolls )

For Heroics: Pure Pally THF Sacred Knight is strong medicine; Holy Sword, Zeal, Deathward, CSW, Pally Capstone = pure god-gravy! Get a good two-hander like Xuum or Riftmaker and profit. I'm soloing HE and occasionally HLSR, on mine - only drawback for me (read; what kills me ) is getting held now and then and running out of juice before I can recover: beartraps - my fault, magick holds are just the price I pay for dumping WIS - I guess.... So-yeah, it's a little 1 dimensional - but Paladonna (she drops Stunning Blow for Dragonmark of Passage and put points towards DDoor and Teleport for QoL) is my go-to girl for new content and when I just want to thoughtlessly wreck the place and kill them all.

Epics and Endgame: No clue. I don't stay there long... soon as I get enough seeds I TR. Not that I have anything against Epics - I just view those levels as more grouping oriented and I prefer to solo-play.

Mine is monk - I like the more active combat style, combos, self healing & buffs, and general awesomeness. Plus, my current capped shintao monk is a bladeforged and with those claws he looks like robo-wolverine

My vote was for Paladin too. Heroic lvls are really easy, survavibility is really one of the top imho and DPS is good. Maybe paladins need more love for epics: probably, but i havent test epic lvls recently, monks are a bit stronger for epic questing

Monk is in a great place at the moment, having received an enhancement pass and some class feat tweaks a few updates ago.

For Reaper, I'd prefer a Fighter, though. Heavy armor PRR and Kensei DPS can make all the difference.
