Sword AND Board: Looking at Paladin in a different light

[Ashkendor]

Yep. The oath dance definitely makes Paladin a lot more fun. I've been tanking bosses in dungeons in sword oath for quite awhile now (even before I swapped to a STR build, though the STR build definitely makes it easier to hold hate over well geared DPS) and I keep trying to find more places to weasel out of Shield Oath in endgame content without driving my static's healers bonkers. I could be more aggressive, but I don't want to stress them out. xD

I wish Paladin had a non-enmity combo, though. I go into 24 man raids wanting to OT. I don't like MT'ing. I would rather ensure that adds are picked up when they need to be and in my experience about 50% of tanks in DF can't be bothered to do it. I end up MT'ing a lot anyway because of the other tanks having either lower ilevel weapons or full fending gear. Overall, I have a much easier time OT'ing on warrior because I can just spam the Maim combo.
