Also, while Monks reach the apex of their power during Velious, proportionally the knights probably gain more during Velious than Monks do

Paladins simply aren't good in Kunark, and while they get a little better in Velious but only because they're so bad now. You can grab one for a group when you need a tank, but you need one paladin for a raid and that's to cast Divine Strength. You cannot make a case for another one when almost any other class is available.

This thread is about paladin vs SK, both are okay. Play the one that fits your style if it's really something you want. But given the choice between hybrid and non-hybrid your choice should be obvious. Having played one for hundreds of days /played you couldn't pay me enough to play a paladin during Kunark/Velious, outside of exp groups it was awful.

Monks actually had the highest overall damage reduction in the game until those nerfs came in right before Luclin, even higher than warriors, that's why they are so overpowered. The only reason they didn't raid tank was because a large part of it came from avoidance rather than mitigation, which would get them gibbed on a couple bad rolls in the short run.

Hey now, Divine Favor is awesome for setting yourself up to eat the next DT in Sky. Who wouldn't want a pro raider ability like that? And no Rogue or Monk ever plowed enrage the way a Paladin with a Bixie Swordblade can plow enrage. Plus, with your flaming epeen in hand you do absolutely lovely pirouettes when that bash or stunproc catches you turning. As an added bonus you can out-dps Clerics, pure awesomeness there!
