Shadowknight vs Paladin

[Rygar]

But what if they ever fix worn regen stacking to +35 regen/tick + racial/innate?

I don't even know what is all out there for an SK. Zland heart (lol), Fungi, Belt of the Great Turtle, Spirit Wracked Cords... not sure what else can be worn to stack that is reasonably obtainable (obviously not Doze stuff). May be an interesting thought experiment to see how bad down time could be, or even switch zland heart with 2h weapon between delay to gain extra tick of regen.

A group of 6 tho... hmmm... I would go 6 SKs, just sounds so fun. I'd love to see them all just HT a touch named and have them all hit. Curious what weapons everyone can carry to add utility and feed their pets gnoll hide lariats or whatever SKs give away

[Snaggles]

For most people it’s turtle/dwarf belt, SWC, and Vindi BP or a fungi. Also ring 10 or Fesh BP.

Sk pets will likely 8-13 levels lower than the stuff the SK’s are fighting so even if stunnable those procs likely won’t land. The odds will be lower than HT which says a lot.

We play on an infinite time locked server, play both. We are 9 years deep into velious, the server has been dead for 8 years after we woke the sleeper. Play everything you want no one cares anymore.

Which one is better for solo, duo, grouping, and raiding? It would be more casual raiding, just a couple times a week. I don't care about getting absolute BiS, but I would like to eventually get the epic.

I think I prefer the theme of shadowknight, and I really like the idea of having feign death on my tank, but fear kiting sounds like it could get old when I can't find a group and need to solo. I also have seen people say that shadowknights usually don't get brought to raids, which is another negative. Also, I only have about 15k for gear, which might be another negative for sk due to the cost of the circlet of shadows.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Folks have things pretty well covered, but thought I'd chime in that SKs definitely get brought to raids in some guilds. Are SKs more likely than say, a rogue or a cleric, to get asked to swap to a bot sometimes when guilds are hurting to cover the basic needs of a raid? Sure. But that shouldn't be an everyday/kill thing so I personally wouldn't sweat it.

People have limited time in life. Most want to do other things than play p99. It already requires a massive time investment to get to 60 on a single character and obtain the best items for them.

You can raid with a knight but outside the occasional trash tanking they have little to offer if strictly DPS’ing.

I would suggest anyone actively raiding a knight try a bit harder to trash tank whenever possible and if casual make sure you at least have a bag full of STR gear and at least a Reaver. If you want to feel valued don’t get beat by a necro pet on the parse.

not really, it takes very little time, im like 2/3rd bis with my wizard with some sprinkle of bis and it was created just like half a year ago, and i only exp on sundays. im sorry if you are bad or play red, but on blue it really doesnt take long in riot.

Paladin sounds like it might be a good fit then, but what's the deal with soulfire? I guess you're expected to keep farming fresh ones? Seems like a lot of extra time for someone like myself with limited gaming time.

not really, at least on blue in riot people will MQ for you because they get 20dkp per soulfire they do for the guild. you will have people lining up to do it.

[Duik]

I know its OT but what does 20k dkp get ya? Like do that 5 times for a bis or 25 times.

Edit. Knight item helm or 2hs or ...
