SK Race question + item help (have never played a tank)

Most raids there's an excess of classes like Shaman, Necro, Druid, etc. A redundant caster is much worse than a sub-optimal melee.

Yes, both Shamans and Shadowknights are typically swapped out for other characters. Many classes end up this way. However, more Shamans = more people who can slow on hard mobs like Vulak. So there is always a need for multiple Shamans. It's also good to have more Shamans for buff sessions.

Shadowknights have some niche in VP now if you are keyed, but generally speaking Shadowknights are also swapped out most of the time as well. The problem is Shadowknights generally aren't tanking or pulling, and their DPS is minimal. They bring less to the table than any other class sadly. I wish this wasn't the case, I enjoy Shadowknights. I am simply telling people the truth, this has been the raid meta for years.

But you are the only shaman who shows up for buff sessions. All the others only turn up to collect dkp or worse cast unwanted torpors and collect dkp [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You are always trying to win, sorry you don’t see your issues. Vanquish in a nutshell.

I am posting the facts, not trying to win. If you think you have better facts, please post them so we can discuss it. I simply don't want players to get confused by people claiming they know something, but refuse to back up their point.

Sorry you can't tell the difference. Hope this helps.

Lol true, there are a lot of lazy players out there. You can't blame that on the class though[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
