Paladins

First off, kudos for tweaking this class to make it way more fun and playable again. This time 2 years ago if I'd had a level 50 warrior and level 50 paladin it would be pretty much a no-brainer which would get the zone invites. Now it seems both have their particular utilities. Having said that, I ...

The next morning dawned crisp and bitterly cold.
