Question - Pal/Shm/Bard vs SK/Shm/Bard

[Elrem]

Just wondering what you guys think of these 3 box setups and what would be better for getting through EoK progression and general xp grinding.

I have a chanter on the bard account that is lvl 90 that could be swapped out after a little leveling.

Sk

I've played a paladin since EQ began - go with the SK - Far better aoe aggro - and a few other tricks I wish I had.

Haha, folks are always down on pallies. I love boxing a pally, because I usually drive the tank. With pallies I can box, drive the tank, and cast heals all at the same time.

The catch is the SK is higher dps, unless you're fighting undead mobs... then the pally CRUSHES the SK.

Well lets use the correct term--- That Pally SOB banishes the undead, crushing would be Zerker with decap

I have 14 EoK tanks, 7 are warriors, 6 SKs and 1 is a lonely Paladin.... just sayin

And the pally only exists to use splash on TBM raids, I bet

still working with my main group through EoK, and it is Pal/Nec/Shm.

As noted the DPS is not blazing, but I survive the AE damage, the huge DoT damage, and can root-park most camps and trains.

May not be the fastest group, but I find it dependable, and necros just got way to many trickses

I can promise this isnt true

Paladin is by far better then sk most guilds roll 4 or 5 paladins and 2 sks because paladins have better innate aa that allow them to tank self heal and dps like monsters , my paladin I can do anything with tank eok raid names solo eok ect.. I love paladin and sum1 paladins dont really splash in eok there is only a couple its needed

So what you're saying is your raid geared Pally can tank well?

I would like to see some parses. Unless it's undead my gut tells me SK is more damage as they self heal through taps which dmg the mobs. Pally self heal with heal procs. I roll a pally personally but that's just because I have one available to me. I main group with a war. Before I quit in 08 I had access to war, SK, pal. I would interchange based on what I wanted to do or lvl. I felt SK was more dps than Pally back then but so much has changed in 8 years. (Rog dps went to shit compared to others)

Yall dont know good paladins then cause I am pretty well paladin where I do agree group game paladins are not as stout but I am almost wanting to build a group geared paladin to prove my point

 

[BrianGragg]

My gut still tells me SK > Pally dmg. SK is a hybrid from a pure dmg caster. The pally is a hybrid from a cleric which heals as a main ability. The devs could of jacked with their abilities to try and balance them and broke that but that's just how I feel at the moment. Would love to see raw numbers though.
