Although I applaud your decision to level a superior racial character, I want to ask you if you have ever thought in depth about the higher level play of a shadow knight.

True, during raids in the cookie-cutter environment you will likely be overlooked in your tanking ability, in your damage output, and all raids default to a monk for pulls. But I have seen some incredible play by shadowknights, and their kit allows them to be even more resilient pullers than monks.

Shadow Knights have more to their kit than hunks of hp, spells, and ridiculous ratio weapons. A level 60 SK has access to THREE feign death cooldowns (non iksar), plus free instant invisibility. Self runes and better sta:hp ratio means they can take more hits on incoming than a monk also. Sk also have access to a lot of easily accessible resist gear than a monk meaning they have a better chance at resisting casts by incoming mobs.

IMO you haven't peaked yet. Get 60, get your clickies, maybe an epic and think about the ways you can be a logistical help to raids also before tossing all those levels out the window.

But if you do, Iksar is the way to go!
