People always talk about SK DPS. But really, where does it come from? They can't fire off DoTs for DPS on every fight or they'll oom even with a chanter around. Their pets do laughable damage until 50+, and SKs often don't even use their pets because they're pulling right? They're melee skills are hardly going to make a difference compared to a paladin's. Ebon mace is a pretty awesome weapon, but paladin epic is infinitely easier to obtain and about the same damage. I guess SK races have innately better melee stats, especially compared to non-dwarves?
They CAN do more DPS than a paladin by burning mana, but they can't really do it when they're in a tanking role over an extended period of time right?
I really like my SK. Snares, dots, lifetaps, pets, feign, instant invis, ivu. Lots of tricks and fun in the spells SKs get to supplement getting to beat stuff up. I do definitely wish I could root (and stun with more than just slam/bash) though... pallies have that goin on.
