shadowknight questions

[Pero Salm]

<DIV>Ive been playing EQ2 for about a month and a half, being unexperience to many others who are currently playing who have EQ1 for years, I still have a few newbie questions.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Being a Shadowknight I find that my taunts isnt very good compared to a guardian or berseker.  I lose aggro very easily, I have only two taunts I know of so far, compared to the guardian where they have four.  Im a decent tanker but Im no where compared to a guardian who is in the same group with me.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>my questions is what role does a shadowknight have inside a group?  what advantages do they have compared to a guardian?  How exactly does a shadowknight fit in compared to all the other subclasses when you put them inside a group.  last question, are shadowknight appreciated in their abilities in doing noticable damage and such that a few in a group would miss if there wasnt a shadowknight?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>thank you</DIV>

<DIV>lets see...hordes of broken spells, severe lack of any decent weapons......but we also get a freebie horse, and some cool looking skull effects on our broken spells. :smileyvery-happy: thats what we bring to a group so far .</DIV><p>Message Edited by strathas on <span class=date_text>01-06-2005</span> <span class=time_text>02:22 PM</span>

No way dude, are spell effects suck. The glowing hippie skulls make an SK battle look more like an acid trip at a grateful dead concert than a servant of the dark.

<DIV>so what are we good for then?  are we just a waste a space?  will SOE be planning to fix all these bugs to make us better?</DIV>

Someone replied me about our "main ability".........in this thread :http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=spellart&message.id=15027I'm still seeking my main ability, the only one I can figure at this time is my perfect sense of knowing when I have to click on REGENERATE or wait for a rez, really trained at this sport.But as a class attribute, I fail to see...can I have the help of the public ?

<DIV>We make good secondary tanks, also Sk's are good for gaining the attention of mobs that break away from the main tank .</DIV>
