Shadowknight vs Paladin

[Snaggles]

The SK is more dynamic.
The paladin is more practical.

Turns out a practical spell book is rather boring but I’d rather have a bunch of stuns, buffs, and heals than a few extra DoT’s you won’t cast outside a few times, ever. This also assuming you never quest the soulfire which is an afternoon for 5 magic clicks.

Really though they fill the same need. Go with what you think you will want at the end or seems more fun.
