What tank?

[nina]

Stupid question time... Knight is in fact Shadow Knight right? Not a high level Paladin?

That's exactly how much I know about tanks [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Knights are Paladin between lvl 55-59 actually. You can find a list of class titles here at the bottom of the page.

We're in velious now, I don't think you need to put your starting points into dex. Yes, there are a couple of decent low level procs now, but really procs don't become useful until the high levels.

At max level, I am pretty sure you can accumulate at least 255 dex in buffs alone.

If you want to be the hero that saves the group, be paladin. LH saved a lot of situations already on my paladin. SK is a more selfish choice, at least he can save himself with FD.

As others already stated if your goal is end game raiding be a warrior. You will suck at your main task while leveling, but in the end you will be very usefull. A bit like a wizard actually.

I wouldn't say that you can't enjoy playing a warrior even if u not gonna raid. I find it quite fun class to duo with and even solo, especially in berzerk mode. Sometimes I just like beating stuff and dont have to bother with any magic at all :-P

Not needing to waste time pressing buttons gives so much more opportunity to lay on the RP.

Oh right, the editing part. Yeah any warrior can bash, but slam is just so much easier and allows access to dual wielding without having to switch all the time. And considering Kick has a lower skillcap at all times, there is no reason to kick, and because large races can Slam, no reason to bash.

The argument here, is that Slam is superior. Not that Bash and shields are not a thing. This is the point you keep missing.

Superior to what? If you were making the argument that you cannot Bash while using a 2H, you might have a point, but now you're specifically mentioning that you're talking about using it while Dual Wielding, which makes it even easier for a race without Slam. Swap a shield in, use Bash, swap the shield out. Slam is just a crutch, not a necessity.

valid arguments

Yeah, you mean like how Slam is so powerful and how starting stats matter so much? Lol. Bad.

Kick and Bash. Kick because lower skill cap, and bash because constantly switching every 6 or so seconds.

So? Anything can be seen as a crutch as long as you dont like it, like proc weapons and bags of nets.

Not seeing anywhere in the OP that he had end game aspirations and will have BiS gear within a month or less or around that. Starting stats do matter for 1-60 and for months afterwards until you get all BiS gear.

But no BiS gear will ever replace frontal stun immunity
