1. I'm not counting duels. Duels aren't PvP.
2. I soloed 1-60 except instances and un-instanced elite quests. I made alot of corpse runs, and they damn sure weren't from mobs.
3. We have more dps than you, that's about it. You can heal, You have plate. you're INSANELY more survivable. You trade DPS for survivability. If you want a dps class like I'm assuming the Paladin was in other games, roll a warrior and spec arms/fury like everyone else.
