SK relative uselessness in PvE is somewhat offset by the fact that they're indisputably S-tier in PvP.

They're really just a nightmare to deal with, and like all melees, they only get stronger with gear as the timeline progresses. They're jousting you with high damage 2H weapons, lifetapping you at range, dropping DoTs to gradually wear you down, can cast lev and both types of invis to chase you anywhere, can see invis, can FD so they don't care about fighting around mobs or deep inside dungeons. They also have shadow step (hugely underrated PvP spell) and a pet that both allow them to pull a lot of tricks the other melee classes can't. Oh, and that otherwise useless Harm Touch ability is suddenly extremely dangerous, especially vs. low HP casters. Just a godlike PvP class.

Those who have only ever played on a Blue server will never appreciate the full power of the SK class.

Not saying it won't be fun. Bad != enjoyable for short periods

Like most threads on the forum it’s a bit of trolling and a bit of ignorance.

Hybrids are better than ever now thanks to half a dozen patches trying to close the gap. Knights do solid damage. Basing a PVE group composition based on who tanks or parses high on AoW is stupid.

Overall the game is easy. The person behind the toon is what matters. Sure it’s fun to watch the legends on p99 vids but really the Bell Curve of competency is what matters, assuming you have the basic roles filled. That and every second you aren’t killing stuff is a wasted one so don’t get precious with your group picks. It’s not like 30 people are LFG in seb and you wield the power of scrutinizing based on Magelo’s.
