Hmm lets see. First off a High lvl AW if played right can destroy ppl in a couple hits (having Frankee in mind a Ghost hunter hero). But if u want a little less "paper like" character id say definatly try a gladiator. They can take dmg and they can definantly put it out. With the right set up u can get a nice attack speed on a glad and some of the higher lvl TSS crits ive seen from a glad are insanely awsome. ive seen a 77 duelist 1 hit some 70+ nukers before, hoho. Id recommend u try a glad and definatly take a look at their skills page on the site. Good luck with your reroll
It fits all your criteria, Im sure you will love it...
Side note: Glads are nice but front line meet shield they are not. In a 1 on 1 arena fight, my prophet can pose a real threat to glads my lvl. A tyrant would just view my prophet as a slight anoyance. They take me down pretty fast too :P
the lvl 29 content that you see is NOWHERE NEAR reflective of the content 58+
stick it out, play around, the D gear is inflexible, wait until C and B gear to really see how you shine.
although i must agree, if you cant see fun pvp's at lvl 29, the likelyhood isnt that great that things will change in A grade, but then again, there are MANY ways to build an AW up post lvl 40, and truly shining in 61+
if you do no feel like sticking it out, perhaps melee pvping isnt what you think it is for L2. perhaps you need to look at the PR side of the equation and see just how far from the front you can be and still be the main DD.
This isnt a skill the decreases the opponents p atk but a root. Used with hate/mass hate you can literally hold large groups of your attackers. Archers and Mages need to keep away from the stuns of the palladins. Being a Holy warrior you also have useful party skills to combat unholy mobs. I find a Palladin to be good well rounded character.
