What's the more fun class between Paladin and SK?

[shovelquest]

I hated paladin because i was strong but weak. Like I could take and survive damage, but when it came to dishing it out I was a total joke!

So I, enjoying the distribution of damage over the mitigation of it, would say the answer to OPs question is SK.

[Snaggles]

Given the melee thread I have to throw a curve ball in the hybrid question: If the quest is fun, how about a ranger?

Ranger is so fun. Track is rad. The spells give good utility and QoL. Great adventuring class. Until lvl 50, when you start getting absolutely shredded face tanking.

Also you're pretty ass in dungeons.

SK is my current favorite, but I haven't made it too far on my heavily twinked Pal. In theory, I should love the control. My main issue is the impending lull nerf. Without reliable lull, dungeon crawling would suck.

Telin said in another thread that the Lull spells are officially considered to not be classic on p99 by the devs, so a change is coming sometime.

There's a reason why I ranked them as the overall worst class of classic EQ. Low DPS and they don't bring anything necessary to the game.

Definitely SK. What I mean is you get Feign Death and invisibility. It is some of the utility of a monk or necro allowing for interesting pathing options and mechanics, allows you to dodge rep hits sometimes, and allows you to dive deeper into places where paladin IVU or pacify wont cut it. I do think in specific targeted leveling routes maybe playing a undead farm only paladin might be more fun but I doubt it. Most undead zones are dark and dreary and get old fast. I hate the befallen > unrest > whatever routes.

Totally subjective based on the player and their individual opinions. For me I can’t for the life of my get into my Shadowknight. He’s 53 and has 41% haste and ToV weapon, twinked out and I just do not enjoy it. I absolutely hate fear kiting, the aggro mechanisms after the disease cloud nerf are more annoying and just in general I don’t enjoy it half as well as my Paladin, which is my favorite character in classic EQ by a wide margin.

Sk does have some cool abilities I like. The ability to invis, feign death is super cool, having a pet is fun, skeleton illusion is always fun, plus the Call of Bones proc on Soul Defiler is really nice. In general though, the class just isn’t for me, despite wishing I had a level 60 one. I think I’d like it at 60 once geared out, but getting there is not fun.

Paladin on the other hand, I always found SO fun. I really love the clicky heal of the DW BO and Helm. Having a mini torpor at 59 is really fun, their aggro holding is way easier with blind. I love being able to soothe my way through dungeon. I love having root and being able to park a mob if I pull to many. The class just really resonates with me. I’ve mained my Paladin for most of p1999

Mostly it boils down to having to fear kite to solo; I HATE fear kiting. It may be faster than rooting and backing up to heal or click helm, but it’s an otherwise miserable experience for me.

Are they trying to make me quit this game? The hypocrisy here is astounding. So the lull line is "not classic", but nor is disease cloud being bad aggro, yet they keep that in the game all the same.

Stop making excuses for your pathetic existence, knight of the shadows. Us paladins are blessed with the powers of our gods. Yours punish you with pestilence and contempt for your failures.

I don't even play an SK. I just found it sad that SK are made completely useless now.
