Not entirely sure what you are asking.  Paladins solo all right, just not particularly fast.  When soloing damage is king, and we are not damage kings by far, but our heals let us last longer than any other tank would when soloing, so we can take on some reasonably difficult encounters without help.  Monks and bruisers, and to a slightly lesser extent zerkers and SKs can kill mobs faster.  They will therefore get xp considerably faster than we do when soloing.  Where paladins really shine, in my experience, is duos and small groups.  Grab any reasonable dps class as backup and you can duo even-con heroics for killer xp.  I can also assure you that paladins perform at least as well as anyone as a tank in traditional group setting. But there are of course other choices.  If you are really intent on being a fast soloer you might look into a bruiser or monk. <div></div>
