Shadowknights can fear kite, they get pets (which only get you killed, but Jebobers are cute imo) snare kite, get the CoS which (right now) is 0.1 cast invis allowing for fairly successful CR missions, they can summon corpses, they eventually get the same skeleton-illusion-mana-thing that Necromancers do (but this may be Velious/Luclin+, I forget), they have an undead-only lull, and you can be a Dark Elf.
It's been forever since I played my Shadowknight on Live, but I loved it. I remember snare-kite-soloing the entrance mobs in Chardok. Even though the FD is a 1 second cast time, it's comforting to know that if something goes wrong, you have a way of saving yourself.
