How is Undead balanced vs Living?Follow

Again hello all,

I have been reading everything I can. I have been seeing some great posts. I however have another question that I can't seem to answer yet. Looking at Paladin skillsets it is obvious and expected that he is powerful against undead. In truth in a Battlefield and other situations I would think a paladin gives a great edge against the Horde/Undead. What is the Undead counter to this. It seems that one class so easily tips the scales for one side, and I am sure there is some counter. Is it supposed to be the Shaman? Just curious as Paladin skills seemed to be very weighted. Coming form an outside perspective though I dont have a clue. I could possibly see in a major battle where everything can be very confusing and a Shaman throws down his totemic magice which affects everyone in the are radius vs just Paladin Party members in range? Am I correct here?

Thanks in advance,

R,
