My first 80 was a Death Knight, and was my first plate wearing class. I have a druid that I leveled feral, so I was used to melee, but I'd never been able to get a warrior or paladin beyond level 10 or so.
A few days ago, I decided to roll a draenei paladin, mainly because the quests on Azuremyst/Bloodmyst are good exp and rewards. Now my Paladin is level 32, and I'm totally amazed. I love the class, I love the ret tree. I've got my eye on tanking eventually, but that can wait. I threw Crusader on my weapon (the two handed mace from the level 20 class quest), and as soon as I get close to 37, I'll be running SM Armory for Ravager, and putting Crusader on that. Coupled with the natural paladin buffs, elixirs, scrolls, and food buffs, as well as a piece of Clefthide Leg Armor, I'm a killing machine!
I can't wait for the plaguelands and Outland, even though I've been there 4 times already. The undead/demon thing is going to rock my world, I know it!
I'm not asking any questions, I just thought I would share my amazement with the rest of the community :). I've been reading posts here, and I've found some very helpful information, so thank you to everyone who has helped put together all the valuable information on the class!
