It's Cheaper, proc's at level 30 and has much better agro anyway.

LOL, they made all weapon proc rates here the same a while back, a year ago maybe? What you notice/remember isn't necessarily what actually happens. It "seems" like my warrior's Trochilic's Skean proc's way more often than it should for off-hand, but when I check my logs that's just not true. The perception is likely due to the fact that I just don't lose agro after that lovely poison+stun proc hits a mob, so it really calls attention to itself. RMoY is better melee agro than other ykesha proc weapons, when it procs you're going to have excellent cumulative agro, you'll notice those procs because they'll almost never fail to give you solid agro.

Also, Raev exaggerates a little. Warrior is fine in a group that isn't bad, a group where people know their classes, talk to one another about tactics when necessary, and adapt their play to the strengths the group has. Believe it or not that does actually happen in pickup groups, tho not as often as I'd like.

Both knights can compensate for laziness or ignorance about agro mechanics. Other obvious knight class strengths... SKs can get around well and do some interesting pulls with invis+FD, have snares and fears, and have some ability to rescue casters using spells, also SKs solo better than paladins. Paladins are quite good at caster rescue with stun+root+heal and can pull using calm when the mobs aren't too resisty (MR & relative level both have a big effect).
