Fear kiting is much more efficient than facetanking mobs and healing afterwards, and from level 45 onwards, SKs can fear kite for free with two cheap clickies. Even if a paladin uses Deepwater Helm to heal for free, this takes so long that I suspect the SK will achieve a higher kills/hour. Then add the immense utility of FD and instant invis, and suddenly the SK is a genuinely decent soloer while paladin remains barely good enough to be worth doing it at all. Paladins only solo better if it's inside a dungeon where you can't really fear kite, and then I'm not sure a paladin has any business going around soloing in dungeons unless it's a twinked alt fucking around in Kaesora or something.

Right. In both cases though they're better off grouping, and in a group setting the SK can pull better/can FD/invis quick and move around more easily...has quicker snap aggro and can aggro multiple mobs with an aoe taunt assuming nobody else has done much to the adds.

Paladins get to LOH because the cleric AFK'd or was caught netflixing.
