Best Trio That Doesn't Use Enchanter

[Elizondo]

Pretty sure necro dispelling the self damage of their heal isn't a thing anymore

It used to be top slot, but if I remember correctly they patched that out

It's random now

Iirc he is the same person that tried to make serious arguments in favor of using the enchanter pet and throwing knives as a superior stategy to charming a few years back. Could be nothing but a master troll

I still use zumaiks to this day. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Throwing knives were actually incredibly useful in some situations too since it saved mana and an undergeared enchanter can't feasibly charm in lower levels.

There are also other things you don't know about them but, I really don't feel like sharing because you haven't earned it.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

A paladin in the same situation would lose time healing, and as such, would make the party clunkier. You could argue ghoulbane or some other shenanigans but there's a clear difference between SK and Pal.

SKs have a slight edge over Pallys but this is definitely not why. And you are clearly making this story up because an SK relying on consistently lifetapping to avoid killing the Cleric's mana will kill it's own mana kind of quickly and then have to med up. It's also not a viable strategy as you level up for the pure reason that the SK lifetaps aren't level equivalent for the content they are doing and therefore will be insufficient later on.

Animation pet was OP during p99's early years, doesn't seem like Rimitto was playing during that time though. If you're playing mostly AFK and just camping a single spawn the pet is still useful, can unload your mana bar on direct damage spells while the pet tanks, return to AFK, then when you get back you're full mana with a pet still ready to go. Also if you're grouping somewhere that only has higher level MOBs compared to your level, then charm will break a lot and it can be nice to just use the animation to add safe DPS.

Paladins do not have the same base tanking ability as SK.

Yes they do. Exact same HP/AC/Defense formulas and skillcaps.

And the big thing you were trying to talk about before was aggro and crowd control. How are SK's doing that better?

I'm assuming you must mean DPS when you say "their ability to drain".

Yeah I prefer SK's as a whole because they do more DPS and fear kiting can be very strong. That doesn't mean they are a better "tank". Against really hard NPC's the Paladin healing is better too, SK spells get resisted.

Why are you guys even bothering to respond to this guy?

[Duik]

Humans love to be subjugated. They are just welcomimg their Binary Overlords.
Nice work people. You never let me down.

As the context was not overstretching clerics, I’d assume ‘drain’ meant tap tanking / vampitic embrace to reduce the amount of healing the tank requires.

Paladin heals for more than SK's lifetap themselves, so that doesn't make sense. It would make sense if he means the SK is taking less damage overall because it kills faster.
