Shadowknight > Warrior?

For exp groups, I'd say an SK has the edge. In a raid setting, where things are hitting considerably harder, a Warrior shines. I play this game to eventually raid, and raid a lot, which is why I chose a Warrior.

I agree with this!

I decided to play a shadowknight as my alt because I wanted a class that could tank but also solo somewhat decent. Both classes have their advantages and disadvantages. If you plan to level to 60 and hit all major raid content, a warrior is better suited. If you are a casual player and want to mix in soloing with exp group tanking, a shadowknight may be a better fit.

I'm level 20 now and I have to say, SK aggro is borderline ridiculous. A poorly geared SK can hold aggro vs. damn near any class in your group, even Ghoulbane wielding Pallys in unrest.

shk "can" be better on raids in classic...kunark changes everything towards warrior

Yep, due to Disease Cloud. Funny thing is, if I remember correctly, DC doesn't get "nerfed" until Luclin, so this server will never see it.

At 50 in the Plane of Fear, I agree.

But ask that to the 26 Cleric in SolA that is healing the Warrior, Rogue, Bard, Shaman and Druid in the group, because the Warrior doesn't have Yak's yet to keep aggro.

Obsidian Shards work pretty well. Until my early 20s I used 2 non proccing weapons. Did I lose aggro? Yes, every once in a while, but with smart group members that didn't go nuts, immediatly, even my non proccing weapons did pretty well.

I chose to play a Warrior because of the exp bonus sks exp penalty, that is probably the number 1 short term reason.

The big long term reason is that warriors are great in Kunark.

I also like the ability to use a big 2 hander or dual wield.
