Casual player: SK or Paladin?

[heyokah]

Some say paladin soloing isnt that bad. This is true if you pick the right spots 1-48ish. After that it really is super boring. You basically just joust or root to back off and click the DW helm. Gear plays a factor ofc, but IMO pallies are very strong as a group tank.

Hey all,

I want to play a Dark Elf SK or Dwarf Paladin.

I'll probably never raid and don't care about min maxing. Mostly group tanking and some solo play when I can't be on for long enough that a group is worthwhile.

What do you suggest I go with?

whatever sounds more appealing to you.

both can solo ... even well if your a skilled player and being smart about which places you fight.

both are great tanks.


this is the main difference imo

shadow knights are much more of a selfish playstyle ... lifetaps, self str, ac , atk siphons ... the ability to FD if your in trouble for CC they only have a snare and fear.

Pallys are more giving, stun a caster to stop a CH, or to save that person low health whos about to be nuked. the ability to literally save a life even if its just for a moment with lay of hands. buffs for yourself and others, the ability to root which is much more of a real CC option.


So do you want to save lives and be a hero...
or
Do you want to focus on yourself and really tunnel vision yourself, and not worry about others [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Is there a decent guide for this? I started a HE pally as well and am just gonna play them both until one gets more fun than the other. I'm level 10 on the Pally now. Where do you suggest I go now/next?
