this is the deal with the whole paladin system there is NO benefits to being one. the other two classes get very strong attacking abilities in brute strength or magic and wow do they hit hard when they hit with them criticals. the paladin's stamina doesn't do anything really for the assisting to the ability to block attacks any more than the other classes are able to block attacks. there needs to be some sort of benefit to being one. the order magic only makes the caster MORE vulnerable to being hit for more damage. ?!? if anything it should be protecting the caster, not hurting. water magics healing ability is so miniscule its a joke, and air is even less. the chaos magic (DOT) helps its caster by making the victim MORE vulnerable to additional chaos attacks. the zerks fire magic even weakens the victim by reducing the damage their magic causes. the shields are useless when they don't every really block or do much to help. Give us a reason to continue by making something Actually worth getting please. there needs to be a benefit with all of the time that is put into character development. Al ot of us are getting really tired of not seeing anything happening with this, level after level.
