Paladins are fun and cool since I have one myself but what I've seen and heard recently about Paladin's is weird. The first week I started one ton's of people adored them and now it seems that Priests and Warriors are taking over my server and the other's that I have played on.
Many consider the Paladin a mix-class of a Priest and Warrior of course but I don't think their all that bad. Most 60's that I've ran into say that they hate their Paladin and wish they never waisted time raising him/her. Well this is the farthest I've gotten with a WoW character and I really don't want to find out if Paladin's aren't worth the time to raise compared to time spent on a Priest or Warrior.
If anyone out there has some info please submit it~!!

Personally I have heard similar complaints about (insert class here). I think it is a bit of a 2 part problem.
First is that I think folks get a little burned out on their characters after 60 levels of play they think anything is more fun than the class they hit 60 with. Eventually I think most come back around to what got them to 60 after some fun and time off with alts.
Secondly the end-game changes a lot when you hit 60. So they playstyles and roles that served them so well in grinding up to 60 may not work so well now. Some people find they don't like the new roles and playstyles they have had to adopt in raids etc. and find it doesn't suite their playstyles.
I think this is true of all classes though and not just Paladin. In choosing a class you do have to put a lot of concideration into what your roles will be post-60 as well as getting to 60 if you plan to play it beyond that level.
Cåerbannog Level 60 Troll Rogue (Eldre'THalas)
Tathariel Level 60 Night Elf Druid (Skywall)
Talinarae Level 60 Night Elf Hunter (Skywall)
Moriquendi Level 54 Night Elf Rogue (Skywall)
Caerbannog Level 45 Gnome Mage (Skywall)
Avantia- Level 36 Human Priest (Skywall)

Being a 60 paladin... I just have to say, I hope you don't love your DPS too much. I have great fun being a support role (cleanse/heal/buffbot) while throwing out the occasional consecration or whatever. I wouldn't say we're downhill - we're just not everything some people expected us to be. People are greedy by nature, lol... can't have the most of everything with a pally! =P

hmm...interesting, I suppose I would be miffed too, if after building up my character - which I am in the midst of doing - and fighting my way through these levels I would become relegated to healing and being a nurse essentially.... it would not float well... but I suppose in an instance you have to assume your role and that's life... I can always get my kicks out in the regular world...right now I like my pally....I would hate having to build up another character...I am a one character guy...lol.

For me, paladins are the priesty warriors, armor of a warrior with the melee damage and spells of a priest. I like to play mine when i feel like being a support role while still being in the thick of it all. Early on a paladin does the same ammount of damage a warrior does, but when talents come in they start falling behind, this causes some to dislike them but some stick to the grind. Paladins cant have both power, armor and casting abilities, they need to balance it with their talents (Holy for casting, protection for armor and Retribution for power).
Sorry for the muddled post, i ttype what comes to mind. I might even be off topic.

I love my pally because hes too damn hard to kill :). always nice to feel invincible.
But the biggest part of the game isnt endgame, its making your way to 60. I enjoy getting to 60 more than being 60.
Thats just me, but i would say if you like building your pally up, then keep doing it. Even if it sucks in the end, make a new char.
48 pally - ursin
Theres three types of people in the world, those that can count and those that cant.

i have 2 pally's on 2 servers. i don't think that our kind is going downhill.. i just think that people dont know the abilities of a paladin well or what a paladin is suppossed to do! a lot of people think that pala's are warriors or stuff like that. Warriors is a lot easier to train cause with every MMORPG you can choose a warrior, a Paladin is new. we aren't going downhill not uphill either. just give it some time xD

my opinion is that the paladin is the ultimate warrior and killing mashine. No other character can beat him if he uses all of his might and OFC if the one playing it is a skillfull dude :P. another thing is that most people playing with other characters start to hate the paladin because of his abiliti to be invunrable. imagine if you fight with paladin and make his HP go to minimum levels and he uses his divine prot and again he's full health and you wasted your time for nothing and maybe you die but you were so close- those paladins are such luckers with their imortality. thats the thing i see and hear from most people i beat in duel-LOL the holy prot of the pala is like the fear of the warlock or the chain lightning of a shaman - its a cool ability and everyone has so there is no use to cry you are a loser-thats what i thing or say :) so there is no use for you to give up on the paly believe me

for pallys reconking is a a great dmg booster....u get it from talent points... every time some one crits u gain one rec point.... (5 talent points in rec make chance to get strike 100%) the highest u can get is 10 points....( it used to be unlimited unteill a rouge and pally got rec up to like 1000 and one hit a huge as boss)
Evry rec Point= 1 extra attack when u unleash it( unfortealy u unleash by reg attack to to build it up u cant attack) so at max u hit a guy 10 times in one shot +D
**if u dont undstand something just ask i think i might have jumbled it a little =)***

Im thinking about making a pally but Im not sure because I do like good dps and not sure if a pally can deliver. I also like solo play so it seems they would be good for that because there hard to kill but if it takes a long time to kill one thing then ill pass on the pally. I have a 13 rogue and a 14 shaman and a few others but I like these most because they can do good dps. If anyone can tell me about them more id really appreciate it.

I've been playing a pally as my main since the day the game came out, and hit 60 in about 3 months. You don't want to play pally, lol. It does take a while to kill one thing - unless that thing happens to be undead, or you spec to kill and waste all your mana doing so. =P Buuuut at low levels, pallies aren't too bad at killing, they're just usually not as good as things like rogues, warriors, mages, or warlocks.

im sorry but im gonna have to disagree with u there. i think the priest is the ultimate killing machine and can kill anything if they throw everything at it. cuz priests just plainly do more dmg with their shadow spells and unless the other paly is holy, then the priest has better healing spells too. however, the one that that palys have over priests is armor and health. im my oppinion, armor and health doesnt really matter for priests cuz of PWS. i think that PWS is just better than the palys bubble. (i forgot what its called). another downside to palies is that they have no range. so if a priest wanted to, he/she could just cast SWP and then run away from the paly until SWP gradually wears off or until the paly dies. priests also have an endless mana pool compared to paly.
just my two cents.
however, i wouldnt really know cuz im a rougue but i have trained both a paly and a priest up to lvl 19 to pvp. and i have also read alot on both characters.
p.s. i think that palys are actually more valuable in instances cuz they heal and when the heal draws the ppl attacking the tank, they can fight too, contrary to when the priest draws the ppl from healing, they have to run around or waste their mana on PWS for themselves, which also makes the tank take his attention away from the battle to get the guys off the priest. finally, palys can also tank just as well in my oppinion as a warrior or bear cuz of SoC.
