Hey Raven, I will add my humble opinion with the rest. Although I dont want to start any controversy, and each to their own, nobody seems to have hit the Pally nail on the head yet, that of severe damage output. Again, my opinion, but in my experience, I am only used as a Main tank in an emergency, lol. Usually i am in a support role. As such, my damage is important, not necessarily my "hold aggro" role. An old Pally told me very early on, Go 2HS, Go Heavy and go slow, lol. I never looked back, and actually started with an Argent Protector, back when they were very expensive. I have stayed the path, and believe have done well. My 1HB and 1HS are mid level, and I have a couple good weapons, but nothing compared to my current 2HS. I am sorry, I cant remeber the name right now without doing a search, but it is in the 42/44 dam/del range, and often strikes 160+ with a crit once in awhile over 200. I am maxed in the skill. More and more, I see Pally's with large 2HS weapons, it seems to make sense, it has for me anyway.
