I never felt the "holy dedicated warrior focused solely on destroying the invading evil" when playing as the Paladin. I judge a character based on how it plays, not on the background lore. It was pretty much a regular knight character for me, nothing special.
Well then we differ I guess. The skills and playstyle affect your perception of the class, but to me the appearance, look and feel (not playing feel) of a class also have an impact. I think that's partly why I never really could enjoy the Barbarian, and doubt I will in D3 either.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.

It's not about how the Paladin was balanced in the latest set of patches, but instead the fact that he was the holy dedicated warrior focused solely on destroying the invading evil, is the reason players want him back. He was a character that inspired you to want to cleanse the world of these demonic forces and save the ppl from their grasp.
Agreed. The Paladin embodies the good and holy warrior archetype that's just brilliant to play.
However that being said, I'm not missing the Paladin. We get new classes, new skills, new ways to play. It's a new game, and change isn't always bad. You don't necessarily need to have every archetype in the game, and if we lack the knight now, then I'm sure we'll see some conception of him again in the expansion.
