My shaman had a similar story recently. I was level 35 and helping Tamarra (30 druid...one of Sylvannis's many alts) finish off some Shimmering Flats quests. Along comes a level 40 paladin and attacks me.
He must not have seen Tamarra at first because he didn't turn on her until she had healed me a couple of times. So he turned to take her out (3 hits...what do you expect of a 10 level advantage?) and came back after me.
I was surprised at how long I lasted. I had Windfury up, kept Frost Shocking him, and ran circles around him until he was almost dead. He didn't bother with his invulnerability shield...he just used LOH. I'm at about half life and half mana and he's at full health and no mana.
Long story short? I beat him! I was laughing my ass off, let me tell you. I ressed Tamarra and we went north a bit hoping to lose him.
It didn't work. 5 minutes later, we were done with the quests and heading back to the raceway when he came running up on his nice free horse again. This time he went straight for Tamarra...she was dead before I knew he was there.
This fight was even closer. Windfury had expired, so I wasted quite a bit of mana refreshing it. When he was almost dead, he threw up his invulnerability shield and started healing. So I healed myself up while I was waiting. It really came down to the wire. In the end, though, he got the last shot in before I could. I think had I played a little smarter I could have beat him again.
But seriously...I still felt pretty good for having beat him once and almost beat him a second time, particularly when he got the jump on us and was 5 levels above me. Do paladins really suck this badly or was this guy just an idiot?
