Best SK Race for Questing

[Keebz]

Harmshield and sight graft would be killer for sure, but death peace and general tankiness is a real advantage over necro for tagging/pulling in raid zones. Necros excel much more at bone walking and DA training. They don't really overlap in roles except for the occasional train away.

Sks really got the shaft on spells compared to a Necro when you look at a pally compared to a cleric which basically get a lesser form of everything besides blur. They really shoulda given them harmshield, call of bones(yes I know there’s a weapon) and sight graft.

Agreed. When you need a tanky puller, Monks generally fit the bill. When you need a DA puller with a pet, Necros generally fit the bill. SK's are just in a weird middle ground where they don't have a good tank disc, and they don't have any DA abilities outside of Idol.

Yea it wasn’t until later where SKs and aoe taunt made them pretty much essential to win raids.

They did later on, just not in this timeline [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Harmshield is actually a level 50 SK spell starting in... Luclin? PoP? And they get the skelly lines eventually.

Harmshield was a little over a month before PoP launch.

SK got a mini lich in the form of deathly temptation in Luclin. The Yelinak sword was still better though.

SKs were trash from Kunark to Omens of War.
