Sorry Swish, skilled paladins are better group tanks than SKs. Multiple stun spells make for instant aggro, followed up with FoL to secure hate. The stuns allow for spell interrupts, which SK's don't have. A pally can park mobs for CC and breaking mez. Strong healing spells allow the pally to heal not only during downtime but in battle. This can allow the group healers to save mana, and at times, save lives. And of course, LoH. SK's are superior pullers to most, but monks are better in that realm.

As someone mentioned earlier, there are a lot people approaching P99 the way that they would new MMO's, which is with the mindset of end game raiding. What they are overlooking is the fact that the majority of P99 are not doing cutting edge raid content. And no one cares what class you bring to Hate/Fear and other lower tier raids. EverQuest is about building your character and most of your time in this game is spent either in groups or solo (depending on your preference). Frankly, if you're playing EQ simply to raid, then it's the race and the politics you enjoy, not the challenge of content. If you're playing this game for challenging raid content, you're playing the wrong game.
