The parent classes of the SK are destroyer/destroyer and the parent classes of the Paladin are destroyer/creator.

So what does the Paladin get in return for having one parent which has a conscious?

What does the Paladin get in return for spending half his time caring about others which the SK doesn't have to do?

Without givers Norrath wouldn't exist so why is the SK always the talk of the town when all he ever does is take and why is the Paladin made to look a bit second rate even though he gives half his time to help others on daily basis making the world a better place?

Without the Paladin the SK wouldn't exist because the Paladin is the original Knight and that's because he not only takes but he also gives too unlike the SK who is a leech.

So the SK is an inverted Paladin buffed up and made to look cool otherwise nobody would play him.

I have no idea what you're talking about, parents?
This is why SK is tight as f-ck.

Here is your origin for Shadow Knights.https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/Lord_Soth

Big flaming sword or black armor tough decision.

I think I would have to go with big flaming sword every time though if looking cool was the name of the game.

I could walk around in just my underpants unshaven and still look cool if I had a big flaming sword in my hand.

Being a hybrid gets better in Luclin. Just wait until AAs. Paladin group heals, bigger buffs, faster self heals and once Slay Undead gets trained up you will be the new emperor ssra of the basement.

They've made death look cool but Paladins create life which everybody genuinely wants and Shadow Knights create death which nobody wants not even Shadow Knights (so they're traitors to their own cause)

In reality, every SK should call every Paladin he meets 'daddy' while sitting on his lap and thanking him for life while the Paladins do likewise to the one they serve; it's called hierachy and life is at the top not death.

On TLP all hybrids are legit healers in exp groups. Have had so many rangers save our group with back up heals, but even more recently I had a Paladin MAIN HEAL for our group. Was it ideal? No. Nor did it look fun for the Paladin. But it was 100% viable.

Besides the difference in spells.. another factor to consider is what races can play the class.

In one corner you have Ogre, Troll, Iksar and DE. In the other Dwarf, High Elf, and Half-Elf..

And it is at this point when it doesn’t really seem to be a tough decision.

Subjective opinion but erudites in plate do look pretty cool, imo. And an ocean knight is a neat and unique concept.

i think they have the most swagger of paladin races.. also sk erudite has most intellect.. kind of a cool race/class combo

i want to add i had an erudite sk.. put all my points in intelligence, had sentient armor.. had more mana than most casters in my group

was fun at first, but problem i ran into with SK is you rarely have any time to meditate so having high intelligence is relatively limited in functionality

Paladins are pretty good, u don't even need clerics if you have paladins around. IDK why ppl hate them.

paladins are from the 12th century

i once read that the knight's templar considered paladins to be extremists, and that paladins believed in cannibalism of their enemies because they thought it would give them magical powers

i always kind of assumed that if the knight's templar was taliban then the paladins would be ISIS
'
both religious zealots, but one significantly more extreme than the other

Paladins are the best hands down it's just that SKism is a symptom of modern culture. Everyone wants what appears to be the easy short cut to victory, so they pick the more warlike "offensive" class.

But in Reality if Heaven's Gate Opens and an Army of Paladins marches down, ye-undead motherfuckers would be fucked.

paladins can be Evil, twisted and totaly nutjobs.
Vonhammer quotes:

Purge purge purge.

slurp slurp slurp(while whacking a giant handbag with wings).

paladins cannot solo? how the fuck i got to 60 then.

in the Ass ALARTI U GOTTA AIM UR SUNSTRIKE TO THE ASSSHOLE .

who the fuck needs coth to get outside of this shithole( make a run from entrance of veeshan to hoshkar pad and killing his guild 30 bda fags and some innocent gnome bystanders).

Mithaniel mars benediction made me had sex with beings of other existence planes.

i can wear a robe but i still carry a heavier stick than you btw my legs ( to bda monkey)

No dk on p99 was as evil as that paladin, Maybe brut, but even being a ogre he loved gnomes.

Most of SK offense is useless... remember soloing in Unrest on my SK at same time as a Paladin... I’m full mana, like half HP .... like sitting here slowly regenerating hp before I engage a mob, because those 10 damage life taps aren’t going to keep me alive and actually detract from my dad because I can do much more damage by not casting and swinging my sword instead...

Meanwhile I watch this Paladin regularly heal himself to full hp and think about how nice it must be to have spells you can use... even at high level all my SK did was cast disease cloud and clinging darkness

Harm touch is a joke

Meanwhile this
