Simple topic really. As you can see in my sig I already have a lvl 66 Bladedancer. Truth be told I LOVE it but i'm not really enjoying the 66+ grind atm. I have 2 accounts so I already got a lvl 54 SH on my 2nd account seperate from the Bladedancer but I don't like nukers much so gave up.
I've decided to try out a human class on my spare account and REALLY love the look of Gladi, always have but I never tried it. I also like the look of Paladin because it's seems as if it can solo with it's heals, etc?
I'm not interested in DA because my BD will be sub-classing to that. What i'm after is whether or not I should go Gladi or Paladin. I'm not experianced with Human classes because i've always preferred DE so any input from people would be appreciated.
If I can get my 2nd acc to around the same lvl as my BD I will be subbing them together to get the 2nd acc to go SE to back up my DE. So fire away...
a gladiator is not a tank
and a paladin is not a DD class so this question is rater wierd to ask if you like tanking takes a paladin if you like damage takes a gladiator
I'm not really bothered about Tanking or DD. I just wanna know what people think is a more fun class to play. I will have buffs from an SE on either class so I should be able to duo without any problems.
I'm so used to playing a support class so I want to know what to expect from a different class before venturing into it.
Gladis are awesome and have no shortage of amazingly animated skills which can 2 hit mobs (1x hp :p) and they can take a lot of damage with their hp passives, and self BtB and you can get some high p. atk with warcry on as much as possible
paladins are tanks that excell at killing undead
either one will duo great with a SE, but it's my personal opinion that glad's are better
If you wanna lvl fast go Gladiator. If you wanna lvl slooooowly go Paladin, plus that you already have I guess some equipment from your BD to your Gladi.
with interlude around the corner, and the glad getting some love this time. if you'll use your BD to duo, go glad all the way. even the grind doesn't seem to put me off at high 60s with a glad.
No hate for the gladiator from me, but the pally is taking a beating here...
Pallies do NOT level massively slow.
Find undead grouped together and they do just fine...
No they are not as fast to level as a glad because their damage output is not as high, but their uptime is infinite given herb drops and they are almost impossible to die with in solo/duo PvE even without herbs.
Pallies are not damage dealers... they are tanks, healing and control. They are often massively underestimated on their healing and control...
If tanking, healing, and controlling mobs sounds like fun, then roll pally...
If dealing tons of damage is your thing, then roll glad.
Go gladdie, its fun, its quick and at higher lvls i hear they're good for pvp too, not sure about that though havent gotten high myself yet, lol
Gladis are awesome and have no shortage of amazingly animated skills which can 2 hit mobs (1x hp ) and they can take a lot of damage with their hp passives, and self BtB
Psh i can 3hit 3x mobs with sonic storm/buster even if it only crits once, lol, not to mention a tss crit+normal dss/blaster :)
Too bad our self btb will never rise above lvl 1 though :( it'd be great getting as many levels of 'em as warlords, hehe.
All in all though this is the most fun class i've played and its not sickeningly fast to level and not sickeningly slow.. actually upper moderate or something i'd say and inspite of what my sig suggests i have a fewmore toons than those 2 :P, Nuker (SH) Tyrant (yes i found gladdie even more fun than thisone), SK, BH, TH
And all you who shun gladdies using skills in pve yes i do use 'em :P just wanna see the animations ^^ and sonic buster/storm helps alot when i party with a WL which i do rather frequently :P manage mp ftw ^^
Even though some people here promote Paladins, they seem to not have a clue what they're actually promoting. That should say enough about the general Paladin population~
