Having said that though, Shadowknights are actually a fun, although intensive, class to play. They can tank almost as good as Guardians, the main EQ2 tanking class (think WoW Prot tanks), do insane DPS if specced right, but they have a wide variety of debuffs they can apply raid wide (mainly decreasing mob mitigation), and a quite ridiculous amount of lifetaps (imagine a WoW paladin not being able to heal but instead having the equivalent amount of healing power in drains from mobs).

But meh, if I wanted to play a Shadowknight, I'd play EQ2, not WoW
