[QUOTE="cdrcjsn, post: 4233868, member: 60486"] I played a 9th level one. Did about striker level damage thanks to Divine Challenge. But the lack of Striker movement abilities was really felt in enclosed spaces (i.e. most dungeons). Also the stat allocation (higher dex) meant that stats in other places were lower, leading to less resilience. Pros: similar damage to strikers, can tank for limited duration in emergencies Cons: don't have Striker mobility or damage/attack avoidance, lose a lot of Paladin resilience, Paladin at-wills don't support ranged combat, most other powers don't benefit from ranged strategy, need to spend feats for Ranger MC to gain ranged powers that other strikers have. Bottomline is that it can work, but no better than a Ranger or other ranged Striker and you'll be weaker than a normal Defender and won't have the mobility of real Strikers. A Paladin concentrating on thrown weapons on the other hand... [/QUOTE]
