Just my Thoughts on Being an Sk

Cityboi · 08-08-2008, 11:54 AM

Well being a raiding Shadowknight MT/OT we do very well with the exception of not having the mit of a Guardian. I have tried numerous time to switch gear around and i get the same result theres no way around it we just wont get the Mit that a Guardian gets.From studing our spells we dont get very big taunts our taunts are H.O.T (hate over time) which is the common prob that ppl have with agro control so plz make sure that u tell grp members to give u a sec before going balls to the wall with the damage. I think to fix this problem alot of Shadowknights should focus more on proper grp set-ups i found to have a successfull grp we should have Coercer for DPS and Hate buffs along with a Dirge for Double attack and Hte Transfer,Defiler for HP bounus and wards Brigs and Wizzies I have cleared every RoK instance with in 35 min of entering the zone, and for those who dont think Shodowkinghts can not MT RoK raid zones u all are confused It can be done.

I notice in the last week or two that more shadowknights who feel we can tank fine in a raid settings are finally coming out and saying something. Maybe they are frustrated or maybe they are shedding some light or maybe they are trying to hint to those who feel we can't do it or can't do it right...to learn the class better...

I'm kinda happy that there are shadowknights finally coming out and counter attacking some of the ridiculous accusations making the class seem forbidden in such a broken way. If anything is broken it's the shadowknight community.

I also noticed that the few shadowknights who say yes we can do it are getting flammed or being called noob in a subliminal way. I would becareful... cause if he/she is saying they can do it and you can't.....then who is the noob?

I can see what this guy is trying to do and I hope more knights like him start to come out and counter act this community.

FYI: Custom fonts make it harder to read what you're trying to say, if it's worth reading at all.

My thoughts on being an sk are that we have been shat upon for the majority of this game, some can take it and run with it, if you cant shut the fuck up and stop moaning like a bitch.

Yep, you got it finally at the end of the expansion when all the content is becoming trivial some SKs are coming out and talking about how well they can tank in raids. Give me a break, half of you guys weren't doing shit at the beginning of the expansion. So now when ever toon in a raid is geared up much better than they were at the start of RoK, when healers are healing better, dps is dps'ing more....NOW you guys come out and say there are no issues. Oh wait, than next expansion comes out, new content comes out, and all of a sudden you take a back seat to a Guard (or to a Zerker if there is a lot of AE mobs)...than you will be back here whining how broken shit is.

Tank balance is way out of whack. Hell guilds can throw up any fighter now, or even a rogue, and go through any raid instance in the game.

You SKs that don't think there are issues can keep on living in your fairy tale land. Please stop posting though because you do not help with balance issues in any way. Take it from a SK that has been there since the beginning.

Uhh..I been nothing but a shadowknight since this game was launched, a month ago was the first time i made an alt ever. Gear better? I highly doubt 3 or 4 of my items maybe raid gear the rest is stuff even a non raider can obtain. Yeah itemization is an issue there are less things out there for a crusader so i did take time to gather up from either group instances, open dungeons or quests. Don't believe me? go look me up I'm probably wearing the same shit you are minus a few things. Idk Our guild is a new raiding guild so everyones gear is equally par respectfully. **edit** hm curve ball your shit dominates over mine...lol

EverQuest II Players

Tanking mechanics are fucked that's a fact and the developers themselves pointed it out. They also pointed out that yes Guardians are dominating at the moment cause again the mechanics are fucked. But you can still make way. Itemization is the wrong way to do it but it's the only way to do it till SoE fixes this issue.

And I never whined and even thought my class is broken cause plain and simple it's not. Upgrades and tweaks ya sure like HT and a few other abilities. There are those that make the class look gimp as fuck and those that make the class shine. Soon you'll see two communities, the shadowknights that sink and the ones that float, the "old" sk's vs the new. And I don't mean old as in an sk since launch i mean the old ones with this mindset that the class is broken, the majority of the shadowknight community. I'm out of guk.sk once I log in.

Lopaan just basically said what I said except I gave a longer explanation.

shadowknights are gimped? since when?

I'm Still waiting for someone fully decked in Demonguard and Tier 1-3 raid items to come in and comprehensively tell me number wise how we are equaling out to guards statistically and there is truly no variances that have not been compesanted for ....

but all i get is people claim great tanking in a 9 month old expansion and further pretend that its the same as it was in the first 1-2 months of release lol ...

So is there any sks not staying away from demonguard like its the plague and actually doing the progression end of things ? I beting not. But yet where not broke =P ..

But never the less ill see when the new expansion come out, how many use Sk's for breaking into new content as tanks..
