Please help SK information

<div>I played Eq 1 for about 5 years and loved the Shadowknight class, I loved it so much that I never even considered playing anything else. When EQ2 came out I was very disapointed with the game. I made it to around level 30 and found myself grinding turtles on some beach with skills that hardly resembled anything even remotely close to the shadowknight from everquest 1. We had no pets, our life taps were pathetic. Our harm touch was nerfed, and Our horses where gimped to about 10% run speed. I know there where more issues but I can not remember them because I left shortly after the game came out. The lack of pvp, and the constant crashing was just too much to even bother. This game was half baked at release but I have heard a few good things about it since the expansion and would like to know what they are.</div><div> Is it worth trying again? Do AA points really contribute to things that make a sk an sk? Or is the shadowknight still a watered down version of a paladin who cant heal themselves.</div><div> </div><div>Thank you for taking the time to read this. Any information on the class will be very much appreciated.</div><div> </div><div>Dreadlord Reksar</div><div>Vallon Zek EQ1</div>

<div></div><p>I never played EQ1, so I can't possibly tell you how close we are to the SK there...</p><p>As for the EQ2 SK, we are MILES above where we were at launch (and subsequent months thereafter).  Our lifetaps are actually useful now...after the latest fix, our hate is improving....our Harm touch line is fearsome (ish)...our pets got a face-lift and do some pretty decent damage (for only 30 seconds tho)...and our horses are still nerfed, but who cares they were meant to be fluff.</p><p>We really are a much different class now...we're not the most gimped.</p>

<div>^^ what he said. and to add to it, they recently fixed our taunts so no longer are we the worst at holding aggro but we are among the best at it.</div>
