Why no palies?

As a SK, I'd have to say we're better geared for trash tanking than paladins...plenty of aggro spells and more effective ones imo.

Flash of Light would be great if the mob didn't require that element of precision... too early and the mob is feared/bugged for 5-6 seconds, leaving you with nothing to tank. Too late and the mob has probably tagged anyone who was trying to sit.

Then there's the Stun line. Again, you got to time it right so that the mob is in the camp where you want it, aggro'd on you and hasn't upset anyone sitting nearby.

For those reasons alone I'll take my SK with disease cloud, shadow vortex (vortexing and prebuilding aggro on mezzed mobs is the best thing you'll ever do), and wave of enfeeblement if you get trained to get everything centered on you.

Warrior = best raid tank
SK = best trash tank
Paladin = low dps tank who doesn't raid tank or trash tank so effectively.
