Can't resist gate or CH so knights ability to spell stop still stands.

Rogues and monks and literally any other melee class can break those spells as well as a knight.

As well? Meaning as reliably? By themselves? With EC tunnel gear?

Come on, be serious.

Story time: Awhile back I was feeling masochistic and leveled an untwinked Paladin on Red. Got into the mid 50s still with mostly bronze armor, save for a DW helm and bracer. But that's really all a Paladin needs to be effective. Good timing with your casted stuns, bash and the DW bracer means you will be interrupting over 90% of spells. By yourself. This allowed me to run pickup groups in Chardok for amazing uncontested XP and loot. None of those groups would have been possible without a Paladin tank, they would be absolutely destroyed by the Wizard mobs. Every time I had to leave a Chardok group and hand the tanking off to a Warrior or Monk I later learned the group would wipe within 20 minutes.

So yeah, an uber geared Warrior or Monk with self buffed 200+ resists can tank the shit out of anything and resist most spells, so no need for interrupts. But that's not really playing Everquest. Take a mid 50's Paladin wearing mostly Bronze into Chardok with 5 other random players with equally shitty gear and you'll suddenly appreciate what the Paladin brings to the table.

Sounds like you have no idea what you are talking about

what exactly does an SK do that another class can't do better

Such a terrible argument.. it's incredible to me how you people still think like this.. but to answer your question, best group tank there is.. what tank is able to get snap aggro better?

Yes. Yes. No. Yes.

It takes coordination between dps, and that's hard to do because people are bad, but play better. Push. It's not just for dragons.

paladin, as well as providing off heals and cc

paladin is objectively better than SK as a group tank

Even if this were true the difference is negligible. That paladin is also incapable of splitting mobs and FDing off a terrible pull.. I wouldn't say the paladin is better or worse just different more or less desirable based on what the group needs.

SK is the better hybrid tank, groups have clerics anyway and SK's can reposition a mob to them rather than have to rely on stun and waiting for the mob to move, which can confuse an average enchanter.

Also ogres can't be paladins (thankfully)

Paladin snap aggro is better actually, Paladins are the best group tanks, SKs are 2nd.
