[Stitches]

Ok so i have returned from wow after like a year (friend finally convinced me) and me and 2 friends are going to start a trio One is going to be a fury and the other a mage/scout class hasn't decided yet Im looking at Shadowknight or paladin maybe even berserker I would prefer the first two Ok so to the real question i don't remember anything and i am guessing alot has changed How are Sk's at  holding agro now and in general when i left they used to be ok What are paladins like? same for berserkers which would you say is more suited to a trio? I remember berserkers being alot of dps but paladins having that agro ability that gives them 40% of agro from the target they place it on Any advice would be helpful i really would prefer to be an sk though

People disagree with me, but I never had aggro problems on my sk. Well, apart from another SK in DPS mode. He constantly ripped aggro from me. <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Worst time in my life tbh. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Warlock can rip, so can brigands (But they cheat) and bruisers (mostly because all of them seem to keep their taunt proc up when doing dps. So I say screw them). Warlocks, brigands and other tanks that dps will be able to rip aggro off anyone honestly, so if SK is the way you wanna go, do it.

<p>1) How are Sk's at  holding agro now and in general when i left they used to be ok.</p><p>SKs hold aggro very well, and are even better off in this department than they were a year ago. 2) What are paladins like?</p><p>Also solid tanks. Little less DPS than SKs, still a good amount of AOEs, Heals instead of life taps...more healing ability for others than SKs....little less for themsleves. Pallies have very strong aggro control if coupled with a high DPS class (amends).</p><p>3) same for berserkers</p><p>Strong class, more melee based and higher DPS generally. 4) which would you say is more suited to a trio? </p><p>Completely depends on the trio. SKs have the edge on both overall IMO though. 5) I remember berserkers being alot of dps</p><p>They still are...for tanks <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> 6) but paladins having that agro ability that gives them 40% of agro from the target they place it on</p><p>Yep, great ability. 7) Any advice would be helpful i really would prefer to be an sk though</p><p>SKs are a powerful force, phenomenal vs multi-mobs, FD and Evac as fall backs. Great spell and CA animations and some stylish class armor etc...etc.. Given the chance to swap classes, and given comparable maters/gear and max AAs.....I'd still choose SK hands down. To each his own though.</p>
