edited February 2015 in NeverwinterPreview - Feedback/General Discussion
Not a "paladins are OP" thread or any such nonsense, just curiosity. I'm currently working on a TR because I love the challenge of attempting to solo 5-man endgame content. Now that we have an idea of Paladin skills since we can see their powers (subject to change of course, but we still have at least an idea) do you think they will be able to do it? I ask because I received Zen as a gift and I don't want to use the war dog on my rogue until I know which class is going to become my main. Trying to solo content that should not be soloed is basically my favorite hobby in MMO's.

    Why would you even consider binding a companion that lowers threat as its active bonus to a character that is specifically designed to grab threat?

    Re: Your initial question... soloing epic dungeons is largely a product of being able to kill things faster than they can kill you. Paladin is going to have a large toolbox for survivability, but not a lot of dps.

    No i dont think so not in a resonable time same as max greaded GF can do CN in 4-5 hour i think max greaded paladin will do it in 5-6 hour .

    Your class is DC "DPS".

    He is the one you are looking for .

    There is a good chance alot of this will change with the new mod. Lifesteal and regen work much differently.

    it will be difficult to solo content when the new module will hit.
    usually tr is the first one being able to do it.
    then comes CW....and when CW is able to solo its usually the faster class.

    to answer: no pally is not what you are looking for

    well, solod Clock Tower at lvl 16
    that is in line with my SW

    basically I was able to run through mobs and collect large quantities of aggro, then use the build up thingy that pulses AOE Damage while spamming shield rush At will

    Sorry, i cant remember the names of any of these abilities.

    My Pally is specifically stacking HP, Crit and Armor Pen

    Based on the things I've seen so far, I believe Pallies will be able to do so. I myself am planning for a solo build, but of course things are still subject to change at this time.

    I hope you mean the Cloak Tower, since the Clock Tower is meant to be soloed.

    There is no Clock Tower, only the Clockwork Guild Tomb, which soloing at level 16 would still be rawther impressive considering it's a level 30(ish) quest.

    Your really belive this guy with 300-400 encounter dmg and 100-200 at will dmg can solo any 5 man dung when the white q Wayland wiz can do 1 mill more dmg then paladin?
    Do you really belive 1000 dmg will help you ? or save you aganst 20-30 elit lvl 73 mobs when 10000 power will be only 25 % more dmg ?
    I dont belive this can be made in resonable time even if all source of dmg can do divine dmg from aura.
