...I transfered my paladin anyway. Waaaaay too much invested in him not to.
Full Champion, full Sorcerer, full Stamina, lots of various mixed DPS gear(bandit/beast/soldier/etc), lots of random other gear (most of lightforge), ZG, herb, engy, parts of shadow/frost/fire resist sets (might have a few for nature too)....
Yeah, just transfer your fave 59 and go from there. I actually started with my 2nd 59 (priest) since he was a budget twink and I wasn't that into him, and I had a bunch of stuff to finish where I still had Main support for my pally.
