Wayfarers of Veeshan

not 2 but 3 mages with pet that was the group and they were destroying the mobs..mobs hard blue yellow to me..and pulling did not seem to be a problem for them..was interesting not sure that it would work all the time but it was working well for them

Hmm my ears were burning for some reason.

A little known fact to any but the most "hardcore" player is that DPS actually stands for Damage (from) Puns (per) Second. Paladins employ this technique which not only causes damage but lowers all the mob's resistances and acts as a taunt to build aggro.

As for the two class question. I might point out that paladins can be quite good as healers. I actually use my heals for the heal aggro to help pull wayward mobs off the squishy classes. I play my paladin/cleric combo and sometimes necro/cleric and it's true the dps is lower with Dorann unless it's undead. Most times with necro/cleric Morddor just sits there and casts his pet. I also miss having a snare without the necro since root means it keeps attacking me until dead. Travel can be problematic although I've always been a player that doesn't mind running/swimming etc to wherever I need to be.

Another little known fact is that puns also lower effectiveness of a Pally's group

I've been away from EQ1 for a while myself, but I seem to remember that pally slays had gotten hit with the nerf bat shortly before I left. They're still pretty awesome, but not quite as incredible as they used to be (if my memory serves. The could still be incredible if I'm confusing nerfs that took place months ago, lol.)

Best slay I've had with 2hs weapon 113 base damage was just over 20k raid buffed. My upper end slays are high 17k to low 18k range.

Aside from Hills of Shade, how many lvl 80 XP zones have a large number of undead in them? Are the orcs in bloodmoon and loping plains considered undead?

Orcs are not undead. There are skeletons in loping, most mobs in HoS and some undead in some of the TSS raid encounters that I've seen.

There are also some zombies in Loping, over near the Steamfont zone camp area. They were fun to kite; they moved remarkably slowly when snared.
