Creating new character... Shadow Knight or Paladin?
 

So, I think the subject line basically sums this topic up. I would like to create a new class, but not sure on what would have the best outcome. I know both classes well. I've played both on live years ago. I am wondering what is needed/desired more in P99 or if someone really has opinion that neither of those classes would be beneficial or have great outcome. Please, give me your opinions!!!

Paladin. I would prefer to play SK, due to: Iksar, DE or a Troll for SK, but Paladins are an endangered species on P99 and need some love. Bonus points for choosing Erudite Paladin.

What are your goals for playing either of the Tank classes?

Paladins are far more righteous than Shadowknights! Go good!

If you see a sleeping kitten and want to kick it, SK. If it gives you a warm-fuzzy feeling, PAL.

Do the whole tank/off tank, support thing. I'd really like to group some of the areas I haven't seen/played in years.

sks are rocking right now with un classic upgraded spells and broken fd

Not a lot of paladins around. I'd go with that.

Typically if I were one of the required group roles it should be easier for me to lead or join a group in some of these far off lands.

If you're going to play well, be a paladin. If you're going to be a mediocre, bare minimum kind of player, be a shadow knight.

If you want to have a character that you log on to cast Brell's on people and log out to a real class, be a paladin.
If you're going to be having fun, be a shadow knight.
