Returning Pally

[TigernDel]

Hello again everyone,     I left Eq2 some time ago. Now I'm back and wish to play my level 39 pally. However I'm flabbergasted with all the changes they have made. So I have some questions I hope you guys (and possibly gals) don't mind answering.First, how are pally's at soloing? I used to solo all the time and will still have to 99.9% of the time.Second, it seems we got gimped with AA's, meaning if you didn't start from the ground up you lost out on earning them and at 39 it seems like I'm missing out on what the freshly created Pally's get in terms of earning AA's.Third, any help of any kind would be welcomed. While I don't want to shelve my most favorite character I also don't want one I can't solo with either.Thanks in advance.

I play a lvl 80 Pally 140 aa--80 Guard 132 aa--80 Illu 100 aa.    The illus solos best. then Guard. Paladin is in last place.

<p>Paladins solo well, can be slow sometimes, but totally soloable...can even solo green/blue heroics pretty easily...(well until you hit RoK heroics <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />)</p><p>Don't worry about the AA, if you quest a lot you will make up the difference quite quickly...you will get a bonus the the AXP the greater the discrepancy of AA level to level of quest, it catches up really quick.</p>
