SK vs Pally

[tankh]

I am really struggling to find a main toon on p99, firstly I have tried the classes I played back on live, necro and bard got them to the high teens and decided to reroll, I am currently leveling a sk (about to ding 9) but in the back of my mind I am wondering if I should have rolled a pally instead.

I want to tank thats what I have done since I left eqlive many many moons ago but really do not know which way to go. pally or sk ?

Can a pally join a group as a healer(just trying to put their heals in to perspective) ? Are pallies in high demand at 60 and end game raiding ? The main draw for the SK was FD and the fact I could roll a iksar, pally races kinda suck arse [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
