Why is SK one of those "unpopular" classes?

[Vaderman]

I'm a casual SK player and so far from 1 to 18 I have not had any real difficulty with finding groups. Nothing different from my live experience years ago. My biggest problem is going to level appropriate camps and finding full groups and several others LFG trying to get in. I don't think anyone has said no to me due to my class. It's a good class with good intermittent solo ability. I like to solo a few mobs and AFK for a bit. I'm not a big fan of the 5 hour grind sessions.

Most people twink out SKs until they reach 30ish, then get bored when they realize how long it's going to take them to get to 60

It's a good thing when I played EQ back in 99, I didn't realize that Paladin's had a 40% exp hit, haha. I would always be so mad that my brother leveled up his Halfling Druid so damn fast and my Dwarf Paladin was slow as all hell.

... I guess I hate myself more because now I'm (attempting) to level an Ogre SK.

low dps for soloing, lesser hp/mitigation for tanking, no discs for raid tanking.

but we get CoS, pulling is fun, and FD is amazeballs. highly recommend SK for total fun times outside of raid mob tanking. exp groups, loot groups, raid trash tanking pulling, tagging are all awesome for SK duties
