It's like a shadow knight without the hybrid penalty, better mana regen and more powerful spells, more powerful pet, but with lower AC and combat skills. I don't think people playing bone knights are interested in maximizing their performance, it's a fun new playstyle in a 20,000 year old goblin sim.
Not to say one is better than the other (sk and necro), and clearly a traditional necromancer build is "better" than a bone knight at or near max level, but the difference between a bone knight and a traditional necro at 60 is like 20 dex instead of 20 int, easy to just switch up playstyles.. And I think the leveling experience of being a melee bone master is pretty fun.
