Your post doesnt prove too much.
Resisting the spells of the APs and shaman are NOT HARD at all. Get a little save vs spell, wait, not a little, a lot. Shoot for a save of -60-80. If you have to sacrifice some hit and damn, then too bad, it IS worth it.
Always use a pair of maces, or a mace and a shield for defense, or a polearm.(If you can get an avg 30+ one) DO NOT USE SWORDS, they absolutely suck.
Keep a stock of flying and teleport potions on you, and if you are a storm, make sure you have enlarge stuff. It makes you immune to blackjack/strangle for the most part. (Gold should be no problem, see mausoleum and turn undead)
The rest of 'the secret' to being successful must be gained through experience.
I want to say this to everyone too, (in the voice of Chris Rock) Paladins, you're gonna die. APs, you're gonna die. Rangers, you're gonna die. Ragers, you're gonna die. (Continue with every race, class, cabal...you get the point) Expect to die, especially if you want to kill people.
PS: I will bet ANYONE, ANY AMOUNT, that I can take a paladin and get him into the top 20 on the PK list. Any agressive psycho player could but would die a con death.
PPS: Paladins still suck and need a revamp.
