I think we really need a big ass Fighter with huuuge intimidate and bluff (so that the rogue can use lots of backstabbing and trips) and a kick ass healer... can we get both in one package?

DnD3.5 pallys are like.... I played one briefly in Beta but at level 1 he had no healing so I couldn't assess the healing side.</div></div></blockquote><div><br>Paladins start getting healing at level 4, the same level as rangers. :)
<br><br>The pally in DDO is a bit of a mutant (most of the classes are) as you probably know they've given him a +2 Armour Class bonus aura presumably because they don't get a mount (surprisingly WoW-like IMHO) but TBH I'd rather see a fighter than a pally join because fighters are decent blokes and pallies are all, like, oooh, I'm, like, lawful good and a paladin and you all, like, have to do what I say... and they, like, totally reek of horses even though there aren't any in the game[1].
<br><br>Diarm is gonna try it out, I'll try and help him along as far as the Waterworks at least this weekend. I'll let him know we kinda need a WOD member (I won't tell him that he will be the WOD :) ).<br><br>[1] Opinion (C) Stereotypes'R'Us 2006

We need to use tactics more, protect the mage, he goes down the firepower dies with him, wait to fire those first arrows until we find out how many muppets are around the corner, and I don't know what to say to Conor as the Cleric class is far different from what I'm used to - pure healer or part tank? We need both until we get a full tank.

</div></div></blockquote><div><br>If so, we could walk Diarms char through a few dungeons, maybe even the waterworks, I can blow the dust off my level 2 cleric and get him through the rest of the harbour if needs be (it'd be best, I reckon if we didn't take the quest, or if we enter and exit the quest a few times to knock down our XP for it, I don't really want to rush through the game and somehow I've got a chunk more XP than you guys).
