Which is sexier?

[mickmoranis]

from behind if you're wearing matching vellios plate armor on a DE, it looks like two missmatched pieces of armor.

Just saying.

From your choices there is no question. Barbarian warrior is the best most sexy one. Ever seen beast master or Conan you can draw your experience from these models if you want but with a northern feel

I'll go for the Erudite for sure!

I think you're more or less right, albeit I reckon trolls have pretty decent chain hats, as far as chain hats go in EQ!

Erudite Female tanks look amazing [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I love it. I think its down to Erudite paladin or SK then [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'm biased and have never played an sk but I'd say roll paladin. Here's a couple of things about them that might help you with your decision:

-Pallys are extremely versatile/have more utility compared to SKs. They can lull, root, stun, heal and CH (a gimpy CH at 60). So basically they can tank, heal, CC and pull. Also, the first stun they get plays well with enc spells bc it doesn't break mez.

-They are good at fighting undead mobs since they get vs undead nukes, fear, invis, and ghoulbane, great spear of dawn and other vs undead proccing weapons(some are sk useable too).

-They can heal just as well as a shaman throughout the upper 40s (superior heal), and get a 700hp heal over time + 90% res at 59.

-Cleric buffs + divine aura!!!

-At higher lvls they get a self regen that drains mana but stacks with sham and druid regen. Pretty sexy with C2 + POTG + Crown of Narandi.

-They get a buff that gives em an extra proc (moar deeps).

-In velious they are good for getting charm breaks off of encs, which is very valuable for mobs like aow and tunare (1 enc pet is much higher dps than 1 single rogue). So they are CC at raids.

-Warriors go apeshit over divine strength, a 200hp buff that stacks with everything except a lame ass ranger atk buff.

-The epic is only worth fashion quest points. Its not a very good weapon with velious out.

I like paladin gameplay better myself, over sk. Agree with all of this.

The only thing sk gets that no one else gets that is remotely worth envy is their gigantic purple epic 2h sword. That thing looks awesome.

Other than that, I like all the things a paladin brings to the table, making it more fun to play and imo a better group tank.

I'm not bias at all when it comes to sexy tanks...

[Harbogast]

As a raid warrior I can confirm that paladins get a useful buff and shadowknights do not. It's a no-brainer.
