SK has some specific areas where they can pull "better" than a Paladin such as in "raid" situations with trainoffs. Other than this, a Paladin with levels and CHA is nothing to fuck with and an SK isn't exactly a "better" puller as much as a "more easily accessible to nubs" puller with niche "raid" utility.

I do agree that Paladins are awesome, however the hivemind believes that Paladins cant pull and everybody who has never played a paladin believes that there is no reason for a Paladin to calm. They are horribly mistaken.

It is true calm is great for all classes that can use for pulling and i encourage people to not forget about this wonderful spell. Yes paladins can pull with calm, but to defend the greatness of an SK here is my response.

I)*SK's can cast calm undead.* ^_^

II) SK's feign pulling is more useful for single pulling than calm. because Calm can fail and no way to clear all the agro other than root/ camp. SK's can always solo pull mobs that can be snared. No calm necessary, Just follow these easy seteps:
1) snare the single target you want & run it to the kill spot
2) hit feign,
3 ) hit hide (clears your agro from adds).
4 ) stand up and the solo mob can be taged alone with rest of agro cleared.

III)SK's can mitigate caster threat with bash / slam & fears (when appropriate).

IV) As far as DA goes, i am waiting for them to put Harm shield on this server for SK's, hopefully it will happen at some point. But there is always a shiny brass idol for raid pulling.

If you don't have a dollar store store enchanter you can pull multiples and put them to work [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Necro. But be one of the good ones. The ones who CC, dps, and heal in groups. They're one of the most powerful/versatile group classes if played correctly.

Is that the same one who bans boxers? A true crusade for justice.

I have a paladin, and he is a beast! Does really good dps as well. And your take 10 min to kill a green con is such an exaggeration.
