View Full Version : paladin or SK ?
<DIV>Sk have the cool looking funy spell. But paladins seems quite good to support their group. I grouped with oen that were acing as a secondary healer sicne we had a serker main tanking. what is making you enjoying your paladin ? </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Well the role of the paladin in raids seems boring (rezz bot). But SK seems useless to raid for what I Heard.</DIV>

Ya i would say we're better off in raids then SK's but, BUT knights in general are so [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot] common..dont take this the wrong way i love playing my paladin but if i knew they were gonna be this common i might have chosen a different class..i dunno. U decide but between paladins and SK's then definetly paladins atleast imho.
Everytime I decide it is important for me to be different, I choose to play my class well instead of the lazy, clueless way most people play their characters. That way I stick out like a sore thumb. The tank makes or brakes the group. I decided to play on an alt today (a wizard of the same level as my paladin, my former main) -- wow, our tank was horrible. I think the game was moving too fast for him or something. His aggro control was sketchy at best and after any mob died he would just stand there for several seconds regardless of the situation (including if there were still mobs in the encounter that were alive). My point is this: Just be half good at your character and it won't matter what you play because you'll stick out. <div></div>

havent play'd a sk myself but i don't see really any advantage they have over a pally.... pally, at least from what i've heard, can solo ^^'s better then sk and very useful in grps with rez, heal, ward, buff, etc... made an alt when i was about lvl 30 or so pally.... but i didnt really start lvlin up my alt till i dinged 50.... cuz really i never got tired of playing pally and i still don't.

SK is a more dps offensive class, they have only 1 ward & most of their spells our quite high damage dealing, were as the paladin is a defensive class, using his heals,wards etc. Also ive had the same problem as pilot, i go on my alt, see a tank trying to hold aggro & he fails miserably, it breaks my heart to see someone lose aggro & i cant do anything about it, if im a paladin if the tank slips on aggro i can always pull back to maintain it from going to the weaker classes (mage/cleric/scout). But generally if you like evil diseasing spells go for the SK, if you like shiny divine attacks & heals go for the paladin. On my server i rarely see paladins lvl35+, seen about 5 or 6 in my whole time & only 2 lvl50, wereas SK seems to be quite a popular class on my server anyway. <div></div>

<DIV>Wow Badboy what timezone are u in...I see pallys everwhere i go, just in "the chosen" theres more pallys then what u claimed uve seen lol..And im also wondering about when u say "i can allways pull back to maintian it..." ...This is not true and i know alot of other paladins agree with me. I can be tanking and lose aggro to a warlock or whatnot and spam our taunts, call to glory, prayer of conviction, display of devotion, even resort to nuking it and there i am with 500 power less and still not with the aggro under control..The only thing that works is rescue and thats on a 30 minute timer. This compared to a guardian where the aggro can go back and forth like a pingpong ball (for alot less power too). </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I cant wait for this combat revamp....I want it now lol..</DIV>

Paladins are one of the most played classes on my server. But Paladins are also powerful. Best rez in game, good heal spell, amazing DPS, and good tanking ability. A SK is on par with a paladin as far as mitigation goes but SKs can not solo as well as Paladins (due to Paladin heals). I know SKs who can not beat the solo arena in splitpaw, but I go thru it easily... I can make a sandwich while I am on autoattack even, and still win. The SK does have evac though, and that rocks. And a SK can go to skelly form which is cool, all a pally can do is make his hand glow.
