Paladins and Cure

[prisoner]

<DIV>While wandering around the city,  naturally I contracted the plague.  I hear in /ooc that priests can cure it.  This got me thinking... why can't paladins cure disease in this game?  Its always been a staple of paladin skills in just about every genre:  to be very resistant to disease and also to be able to cure some forms.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'm not asking to have a cure disease spell added now,  but maybe we can put a bee in the dev's bonnet for a future adventure pack or expansion.  I'd like to be able to cure diseases.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>17</DIV>

I dont even get the plague.  Can't figure out why yet.  There are a couple of us who dont get it.

<DIV>From what little research I have done, it seems that anyone with a disease resist of about 1500+ stays immune.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>This is only comparing level 50 characters, but could be the same from everyone</DIV>

<P>Honestly? The EQ 2 Paladin lost some of their curative ability, specializing in supplimentary wound repair, and got a ton of tankability and firepower in return.</P> <P>Our lack of diversity in curative ability works for what we are supposed to be in EQ2: Tanks that put out heavy damage and act as supplimentary healers.</P> <P>While I conceptually agree with the OP, I think our balance, as it is, in EQ 2 is REALLY good and I am having a BLAST playing. I don't want to see that change or be 'rebalanced' to add in another ability.</P> <P>That said, obviously, I wouldn't refuse a cure power if it was added if I knew it would never be used down the road as an excuse to 'rebalance' our currently, VERY GOOD, melee balance.</P>

44 Paladin and I really feel the power! Paladins can hang in there for long fights. Other than disease traps, I have not found myself wanting to cure disease or poison while soloing. I don't miss it that much.Especially since we got axes and great axes back!
