Animation pet was OP during p99's early years, doesn't seem like Rimitto was playing during that time though. If you're playing mostly AFK and just camping a single spawn the pet is still useful, can unload your mana bar on direct damage spells while the pet tanks, return to AFK, then when you get back you're full mana with a pet still ready to go. Also if you're grouping somewhere that only has higher level MOBs compared to your level, then charm will break a lot and it can be nice to just use the animation to add safe DPS.

Paladins do not have the same base tanking ability as SK.

Yes they do. Exact same HP/AC/Defense formulas and skillcaps.
And the big thing you were trying to talk about before was aggro and crowd control. How are SK's doing that better?

I partied with a shadowknight yesterday down in guk, because of their ability to drain compared to heal, they could keep up the action without tiring the cleric out.(I was not the cleric in this party)

I'm assuming you must mean DPS when you say "their ability to drain".
Yeah I prefer SK's as a whole because they do more DPS and fear kiting can be very strong. That doesn't mean they are a better "tank". Against really hard NPC's the Paladin healing is better too, SK spells get resisted.
