Palidans Vs. SKS

[visage]

Who is better and why?

[Arrisard]

I'm not gonna get into who is "better" other than I think paladins are great for no-damage aggro generation/MAT and some healing utility. SK's are great for pulling/assisting in pulls. Some other nuances, but those are the things that immediately jump to mind.

SKs have a bit more solo ability though, imo.

Performance wise SK have the advantage over pali in dungeons solo? I mean Pali gets lulls which on p99 seems to suck , but none the less sks get Fd. Ultimately Sks can heal too with lifetaps and it causes damage. So what is the advatage over sk as a pali ?

pallys can solo half decent vs undead mobs.

How? Isn't Fd the ultimate tool for dungeons

[maverixdamighty]

depends on the dungeon. 40+ i soloed in solb/guk as a paladin with lull/root and dw helmet( free 6s heal) I'm sure i was more efficient than a sk.

Shadowknight FD leaves a lot to be desired.

1 second CAST time really freaking blows.. not only do you have to stand completely still, but you have to wait for the damn cast to go off, which gets interrupted sometimes, and is near impossible to time if you have 2 casters on you.

wtb death peace plz

paladins can't solo undead mobs. I don't know why people keep saying this.

Paladins can do THIS to undead:

-Cast spook the dead, a level 1 cleric spell. If you fear an undead mob this helps you, on a scale of 1 to 10, probably.. negative 5.
-Cast an undead nuke. this undead nuke is the nuke of (without looking it up) probably that of a level 30 cleric. The use of mana is inefficient, and probably reduces DPS after casting time is considered.
-Use Truvian (or whatev not looking it up), the PoSky sword. This sword is like ghoulbane where it procs dismiss undead, but has a better ratio. However, not only does it require killing the eye of veeshan, but it is probably only slightly more dps than Fiery Avenger (which has a 110 proc vs everything with a better ratio instead of 150something vs undead).
-Invis vs undead. Useless during soloing.

OK! Paladin can't solo undead - myth debunked.


This is a response to other people, not the OP who is likely just looking for people to respond even though he doesn't care [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Ahh okay. We'll can anyone list something they did solo that they think the opposite class would've either had difficulty doing or not at all.
