EQ2's best Shadowknights.... Who are they?

Kagatoey · 11-05-2006, 12:07 AM

Well, my curious side is kicking in again and wants to know who some of EQ2's best Shadowknights are. I know that on my server, Butcherblock, Dogmae is by far the best one I've seen. So, yeah... just post their name and server.

G3IST · 11-05-2006, 12:23 AM

no way, Avernus > Dogmae!

Xautha · 11-05-2006, 12:33 AM

Speaking of which, I wish they would have a sort of EQ2 best of the best tournament like they had back in EQ1. That would definitely answer your question.

Erratee2 · 11-05-2006, 06:32 AM

at what? DPS? Tanking? or just PvP?

Very different Styles... very different SKs

A good SK should be able to do both when needed.

Kagatoey · 11-05-2006, 10:56 AM

Agreed, Dogmae. Oh, and when did you get the new hammer? What's it look like?

no doubt, but what i meant was lost apparently.

Sure you can dps while tanking but when not in a tanking situation more... tools are rightly at your disposal.

Of course both above are implied in a serious raid situation as i dont see groups as something that should be considered in this.

Thats just my personal opinion though.

Boke · 11-05-2006, 08:24 PM

there cant really be a "best" shadowknight on a server since each one has something better than the other imo

Erratee2 · 11-06-2006, 03:53 AM

yea probably... but its fun to throw the idea out there ;P

Lord Venothar · 11-06-2006, 06:52 AM

Shargul, hands down... bring it

Ajil · 11-06-2006, 11:36 AM

i wouldn't say i'm the best on Venekor, certainly not at pvp (as I'd have to say I'm probably not even top 5 in that category)... that said, I did just get to tank Labs from start to finish and that felt pretty nice. SMILEY

Kagatoey · 11-06-2006, 01:02 PM

Well, you tanked it none the less which is hard enough, imo. Last time I tanked in a raid was in the CL instance like almost 2 years ago. XD

gnarkill · 11-07-2006, 03:42 AM

I have succesfully tanked everything numerous times (I still tank MO every week) in the game except Matron and Chel'drak (which will happen =p) and have the overall best SK pvp stats worldwide (alot of SK's are catching up though due to my beta break =p)...Bring it!But yes this is a vague question that cant really be answered

Imo its not the best Sks per say, its more like the most respected SKs. For that I would have to say the Beta testers. They are the ones testing out our class and fighting the devs for change so that we all can be better SKs.

Time to stop thinking as individuals and start thinking as a community, as EoF is gonna bring us a new lease of life (we hope) SMILEY

Vexorkane · 11-07-2006, 10:58 AM

All your base belong to me!!11!

Ahem.. sorry, but it makes sense that any one person in a/the top raiding guild on their server being fully committed to their class and further proving their worth by contributing to a raid/group as a whole to defeat end game content can be considered the "best." Oh and they (we're:smileywink: ) typically geared above and beyond the majority. The rest just have potential. I do agree with Plant though, hats off to the beta testers.. I'm just not up for that [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn].

1st Master PVP SK EQ2 here!!!!!!!! I will claim my throne. :smileyvery-happy:

Squiggy

But since I suck as a tank and my armor is made out of burlap I would have to say Gnarkill

Onionbreath, By far the best ever! on Guk

Torbas · 11-08-2006, 11:20 AM

My vote on Guk goes to Veldrith... Only tank I've ever cleared Nizara with (and pretty easily) and we've also cleared the den in 16 minutes flat in a rather average group setup. This guy can get and keep aggro while pumping out dps better than any tank of any class I've come across.

I believe I'm the only Master SK on pvp boards right now. Toon name is Luxun.

clownsbad · 11-09-2006, 02:35 AM

I would have to say on the Mistmoore server the best sk is Mycatdied. Even though he is only lvl 17, and he is brand new to EQ.

Titles at low lvls are a dime a dozen....keep Master when you are lvl 70 (and on Nagazerg) and i will give you props....Just ask Squiggy how different t7 is =)

MrDiz · 11-09-2006, 03:42 PM

None of the above options can be the best because none of them are halflings. I know there is a lvl 70 halfling sk out there on one server, so it must be him SMILEY

Melseb · 11-09-2006, 09:59 PM

Weaksauce on Kithicor is a halfling.

Ramglob · 11-10-2006, 09:19 AM

Gratz on Master Luxon. You have held it for a while as well which is very difficult so hats off to you!!!!! Gnarkill is right though, t7 pvp is a much different beast. Although if you are good at it...doesn't matter what level you are. If you have a good tactical group and the time to raid / gear yourself properly things won't change all that much for you. I semi-retired Squiggy about 2 months ago. Did not have time to raid (for gear) and my old guild went Wow. I actually enjoy the lower tier 3 pvp much better. Fights are much more tactical and not gankings. The pvp is much more skill based rather than being dependant on raid gear. Mucho.... many more targets to hit, you always have to be moving. At t7 strong groups roam KOS so you must have a very good group to keep titles. Anyhow, Gratz on being the only Master SK. No one else can state that. .................................. Although I did hit it twice before you were even a glimmer in your fathers eye!!!!!! :smileyhappy: Just kidding.

Rylight · 11-10-2006, 12:29 PM

from a nagafen server point of few, I would love to praise myself, but by now I am 5th on the list (of most kills for an sk) though remember I am guildless and have gotten those kills myself... still I will have to give mad props to gnarkill and squiggy for some of, if not the best sk's on the server. however that is on the ranks and ladders, and pve/pvp wise, I really dont know. honestly thats based on individual experience, for instance I am a great sk for pvp and pve groups,but I admittingly did a horrible job on my last group in SoS (then agian healers kept coming and going) still, it really just matters on the day and the mood/knowledge of the sk.

clamdiper · 11-10-2006, 08:27 PM

If you think you're the best then you're probably not. Play the game and enjoy it.

plantb · 11-10-2006, 09:06 PM

Again, none of you would be where you are now if it wasnt for the SKs that test the class out for flaws.

Darkaren · 11-10-2006, 09:08 PM

nobody cares about pvp sks.sorry.PvP sks are just second tier players that couldnt hack it in the guilds, servers, and competition.If you disagree, kindly list you former name, server, and guild. Accompanied with any other info you may feel makes you good.
