Why do you find pallies fun?

I have played a paladin to about level 16X and I have also made a thread asking
what their favourite warriors were. A good chunk of the people who answered, said 'Paladin'.
I found this quite intriguing as I rank Paladin as one of the lowest warriors for 'fun'. (no offense)
Now, I'm generally curious as to what makes you guys like playing Paladins so much.
What is it about them that attracts you ?

I find all explorer warriors to be quite boring.

The versatility. A Paladin's applications in party or solo are so numerous, and they handle well in a variety of situations, especially with the recent updates given to them. As a Paladin, I've never really had to worry about whether or not I can go on a boss run or survive it; the big question is how LONG it would take for a boss run, haha. The way they handle is very unique, too.

Unlike a Dark Knight, where their main attack is a constant mob attack, or a Hero, where one has to switch from being 1v1 or a mob, a Paladin has capabilities of using both mob or 1v1 (assuming the warriors mentioned don't already hit max, then the argument is practically void) at any particular situation!

I find myself liking the class again, after so long.

I don't like potting every hit so pally is fun. I love tank and healer character roles in mmos.

Well I liked it but I haven't had any desire to level my pally for whatever reason.

Pallys are unique...warriors with elemental charges, god-like defenses...in my opinion they have evolved more than any other warrior class (blast use to hit one target one time, acb wasn't really a good spammable skill and lightning charge didn't stack with other charges, no god-like defenses...) I remember back when I first made mine I'd come across people in game who would ask "what's a Paladin?" Now everyone knows the class! A true underdog story lolz.
I've made every warrior class except DK. Well, I quit my aran at around lvl 55-ish? Ahaha...but my Paladin was very much enjoyable...I like it more than my hero! The ability to randomly afk for whatever reason and come back and not be concerned about my HP is priceless.

That name sounds familiar, but I don't remember who that is.

HUGE range on ACB. And of course, no need for HP pots during regular training

Giant range on the attacks, you don't use HP pots, element charges, and ACB's lovely 9 mobs hit. <3

-The fact it was at one point the closest thing to a warrior mage (having access to all the elements that can be switched around all willy nilly)
- Dat Defense. I seriously love not having to use potions in most situations, and overall surviving things that would give other classes nightmares
-Shield using warrior (at least better with one)

Long ago I was inspired by a Paladin in my server - he was the nicest guy you could meet; he'd talk to just about everyone and anyone, and was just all around awesome. I was a Hero at the time, but I definitely considered him one of those 'model Maple citizens.' Some years later I decided I'd make my own Paladin and try to reiterate his attitude of community and friendship. I'd never actually played a Pally before but once I did - I was hooked. That feeling of complete and utter invincibility was just amazing.

The damage is nothing to brag about, but it has potential to be something great if you take the time to really fund it. You don't need to worry about survivability, so all you need to really focus on is getting stronger. I also enjoy the challenge - seeing my range and damage go up little by little is far more rewarding to me than other classes.

i actually find pallies as one of the funnest warriors. i would say in "fun" playstyle, my list is:
kaisers- a warrior teleport is really fun
pallys- godmode+gigantic hitbox+no pots ever
mihiles- lazors (no h8 plox)
demon slayer- demon cry is fun... not gonna lie
arans- polar bears are cool
hero- nothing super appealing although i find it more fun than dark knights
dark knights- heroes but less damage
hayato- i dont like the thief playstyle

Defense, shields, holy element, and it's a warrior.

I'm a relaxed and chill sort of person, this class is the perfect fit for my personality. I enjoy kicking back and enjoying a good boss run without panic, worry of death, having my eyes glued on my HP bar, and I the ability to AFK where the hell I want to when I want to. Paldins fit the bill. Plus they aren't a bandwagon class so I feel unique. And my oldest bestest Maple friend was a godly Paladin, but he quit to take care of his family and such and now I feel like I'm his successor
