Should I bother spending Myth on Paladin?

[Krystalynn]

I was about to spend myth tomestones on some AF +1 next week. Decided to build enough to get the chestpiece to somewhat skip the tin-kitty Darklight and all that. Got my relic for Paladin, so those philo stones are used up. With Warrior changes coming up, I've felt compelled to level my Marauder to level my play experience at 50 between the classes, but I'm at a loss if I should just save my myth for Warrior pieces instead of Paladin for the months to come. 2.1 has taken a long time to come out, and I really don't want to be sitting on a poor class till 2.2 catching up when I can have my Warrior decked and ready December. Any advice?

I have full myth armor minus pants(I use allagan) on my paladin and I love it. My HP clocks in over 6800HP with food. As for what you want to spend it on, decide which one is your main and stick to that.

Btw, +1 should always be your priority, go with that.

This. The only way you'll waste Mythology at this point is if you have more fun playing Warrior than your Paladin and preemptively spent Mythology on one or the other. Paladin is going to be just as strong as it is now once 2.1 hits. And yeah, upgrade your weapon/shield before you buy any of the armor.

By the time 2.1 hits, both classes will be good. Neither will be a poor class choice, as paladin has proven time and time again that it can do everything in the game just fine. The buffs to warrior will simply allow warrior to do what paladin can do. With that in mind, go with whatever one you have more fun with. That's really all there is to it. Whether you be a paladin or a warrior, you will be desirable so long as you survive. If you DO go with warrior though, I would suggest you do NOT get +1 as your first go to item of choice. Rather instead, go for whatever will make up the biggest difference in your vitality. I, for example, got my warrior boots, then my warrior coat, because they gave me the biggest vitality count for their cost. If you go paladin, there's no excuse to forget +1, because the sword(600) and the shield(300) are both cheaper than any of the relics in-game.

The math was ran sometime ago and the consensus was and still is that the damage difference between a pally in sword oath and warrior were negligible.

As for the main poster Paladins in no way shape or form are going to become obsolete post patch. The fact will remain that a paladin will always have the better mitigation as well as the only true invulnerable in the game which gives your healers breathing room. Sure not being able to be reduced below 1hp is going to be nice, but the fact remains there is still 7k+ hps to be healed before that 6 second timer hits zero and a slight breeze sends you down. At the end of the day its only going to matter what you enjoy playing more. If its warrior then roll up your toon and spend your myth on your warrior, if its paladin then spend for that.

Never let buffs/nerfs/patches determine what you play b/c as anyone who has played MMO's for anytime can tell you things are going to change again and again.

its pretty much up to you, after 2.1 warrior and paladin will be basically on the same level.

hell...you could gear both simultaneously. most BiS gear for pally comes from coil, along with (most? i'm not sure) warrior BiS as well. (and with the myth cap being raised you could gear a single class in full myth bar one ring in around 4 months...enough time to get plenty of allagan drops.)
