![]() When the server comes back up i will continue to level my Paladin. But i was wondering why it seems SKs outnumber pallies like 2:1 it seems even there are more warriors on than them it seems. I know Disease cloud is a agro BEAST atm but is that the only reason? And also in your guys opinion who makes the Best if not coolest pally hehe Halfling ftw?!?

![]() Most people that are playing paladins are not really maximizing on their abilities, especially in regards tp holding aggro. Blind alone is underused and it makes pallies agro whores. After 30 with stun added to that, pallies should have no problems keeping up with the best of them. But a big part of why SK's outnumber pa??ies will be becauase of race selection. Ogres and trolls have huge beneficial starting stats for an SK where the best race for a pally is prpbably a dwarf. That's my guess anyways

![]() I dare say that in groups with more squishies (casters), pallies are an even better choice than an SK.
A pallie stun will not only help him regain aggro if a caster does something dumb but the stun itself is preventing the caster from taking damage while the pallie is regaining control. Another reason: With a pally tank you can have the entire group consist of 1 healer of any kind and nothing but DPS (assuming you have clarity). My reasoning is this. The pally can be the backup healer in a pinch, negating the need to take up a second slot with a backup healer. Paladin healing is usually enough to keep an int caster alive or spot heal between pulls. Also with a paladin you don't need a second class for pulling since they can lull. Don't get me wrong, I love my Shadowknights, but I think Paladins are more versatile. My holy trinity group consists of: Druid Enchanter Paladin | ||

![]() The poison agro is great, yes. Number one reason to be a SK over a pally though: Fein Death. You have no concept how useful that is in so many cases.

FD is actually the one and only ability in the game that the Paly, druid, chanter combo doesn't have access to (besides summon corpse but nobody ever seems to carry coffins on them anyway). But I think having lull along with Lay Hands and rez is a great compromise for those bad situations. And spell based FD is not quite as good as ability based (monk). Not taking anything away from SK FD though, it's still a wonderful tool. But with a chanter and druid back at camp it's not QUITE as important. | |||

![]() feign death =p
and i wish i had something to keep me from dying from when a monk does a bad pull :/ but i love my pally, lay hands, in-between pull heals, root, stun, blind, soulfire?! if we can just get gate or feign death i would roll paladin alts just to relive all the fun! as a main tank though? rather not...nothing wrong with doing it, but for a successful paladin i think you have to be able to utilize everything. healing while having aggro is pretty hard especially if that mob stuns...and you can still stun if you space things out. sk's would be a better main tank out of pally/sk because they cant off-heal [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] and i have no problem in sacrificing tanking if i can spend more time sitting instead of having to pull....hate pulling sometimes [You must be logged in to view images.

The other reasons for this survival were Gather Shadows (self invis) and Invis to undead. Self Invis is another strong reason peeps might chose SK over Pali. (Both get invis to undead) A pet. Peeps love having pets and with the high lvl summon of pets on this server it might help a bit. It is kind of cool for a tank to have a pet and on live the one you got at lvl 39 was decent. The best way to view SK pets is as a low level dot, or a great victim to send in and get harm touched by by those SK mobs in Cazic! Fear. I love the spell and love the graphix, mixed with SK snare You can fear kite mobs you could not face up to, I soloed alot of hill giants this way back in the day. Snare. Some mobs run at 20% life, if u root them they will fight to the death. If this were a pvp server I'd add in Harm Touch as a reason, and for some, it might still be. Because you don't want to heal. On live with short resurect timers, some peeps (including me) would get real pissed if they died and the pali didnt break off a stun and toss them a heal or even a Lay on Hands...If you do not have that ability, you will not have that responsibility. | |||
