Is your magelo out of date bc you look like a sub 60 piece meal geared alt to me and no where near end game raid gear. I dont think you guys understood OPs question tbh

If you think there is a massive difference between level 59 and 60 in terms of understanding how to play the game on a Shadowknight, you don't understand the game very well. You would have a point if I was talking about Shamans, since Torpor changes how the class plays at 60.

You are a bit jaded if you think only full BiS is good gear. While I am not full BiS gear by any stretch, I am better geared than a lot of SKs. A person drowning in DKP throwing gear onto an alt doesn't make them someone who knows the class very well hehe. Having full raid gear in every slot means nothing these days in terms of skill and game knowledge.

Yea idk guys. With actual end game raid gear I don't even bother to wear my narandi and just wear the hobarts. Y'alls points make sense if you geared up in EC and you're trying to level up. If you're one of the knights I played with back in the day wearing full velious raid gear and multiple vulak items then you definitely don't need to fear kite or carry around ft2 helm to efficiently clear a kunark dungeon. Maybe y'all have a friend who is geared and could walk you through what it looks like in real time to fight a bok knight or a HS skeleton at the real end game.

You honestly don't understand the game very well if you thnk this. Even in full BiS gear there is no reason to simply waste mana on tap tanking a mob you can fear kite. It's not efficient. 1500 AC is not going to get you to the point where a Sebilis Frog is only doing 100 damage to you over the entire fight. AC is great, but its not that great.

I think the issue is you just haven't played an SK. Paladins get Deepwater BP, which means you can efficiently heal outside of combat. You're getting 1800 HP/Minute on BP Clicks.

Shadowknights get 360 HP/Minute on BP clicks, and maybe 500 HP from two Epic procs on average per fight if it lasts a minute. That means we need to spend 675 mana if we want to Drain Soul the other 900 HP back.

As Crede said, SK healing is simply less efficient, so we can't just waste HP and Mana willy nilly.

You are mainly tap tanking mobs you can't fear because you simply have no other option, or you are lazy. I am not saying being lazy is always bad since this is a game, but lazy is not efficient.

If we were discussing paladins, you sound like like someone who is disregarding Deepwater BP because it is too much effort to buy Jaspers and click it. Just sit and regen mana and heal instead. It's bad advise.
