Smaller trio style groups Knights are the superior tank option
The only case when Knights really shine is when your group sucks. If the monk is terrible and the SK splits, then great. If the Enchanter can't CC and the paladin is rooting and stunning, then great. But otherwise, Warriors and Monks are just better. If the group is humming, then the extra dps of the warrior means more XP, and if the group is taking on tough stuff (= seb protector, EToV) then the superior HP/AC/discs of the warrior will give far better worst case performance than the knight's aggro spells.

Warriors are obviously superior for rampage tanking because their lack of aggro spells is unimportant. Knights will only be used there if there are insufficient warriors.

Anyone with a sow potion and a bladestopper? But I kinda hope training won't be as important in Velious; it's hard for me to imagine anyone seriously training around NTOV without either a) getting vaporized by quads for 400 or b) getting petitioned after annihilating someone else's raid with 4-5 trash mobs.
