First time playing shadow knight (from scratch)

[Baler]

1. No, pack on the levels and start farming guards for xp and plat
2. Snare/Fear Kiting
3. 2H weapon so when you're fear kiting you can get big hits while you chase them around

Use strafe left/right and stand to the left or right of the mob. This way they won't path away from you, out of your attack range. And you can just stafe along side them as needed for 180 degrees of attack range.

I level an iksar SK on blue this way prior to the removal of hybrid penalty. With pretty awful gear.
It was slow goings, but SK is a totally underrated class late game. It can pull/tag/tank

ps. Why a human.
