So yeah, warrior have a room in some special use case where you downgrade the quality of an ench/clr duo... But in any exp group with other melee where the mob usually dies in 20-30s a knight is the obvious choice, even your crazy warrior DPS pales in relation to your group nearby rogue, and the dps lost with a knight is easily compensated by the additional those other can put without carrying for agro or the mana used by support classes to ensure that you can keep agro using roots/blind assuming the mobs you hunt are even susceptible to that.

Knights steal exp especially on mobs my wizard can tank.

Would trade a Knight for a well played wiz, mage, dru, War, even a cleric casting rend any day.

Knights do make nice duos too.

Unless the Knights RPs good. The reason Knights exists is so there's a melee class that can solo a little bit with less downtime. In that case. Play a paladin.

The war does not downgrade the quality of an ench/clr duo. They add much needed stability and open up a lot of options.

I feel posts like these are made by an angry in denial sk or pally. Sorry you took advice on character creation from these forums.

I feel you are in denial if you don't see the value of knights in groups...

Who said sk has no value in groups?

Ahh the classic knight to warrior thread derail. TBH, it should really have been derailed into a monk thread. Warriors aren't great in small mans. They have one button. Monks get 2x the buttons, so 2x better.
