Paladin or Shadowknight best damage

[Melekthar]

Is there a large difference between the two when it comes to dealing damage?

[Melekthar]

Also, is one much better at solo than the other? Making my first character and I don't want to pick something that doesn't work

idk i like paladin

Shadowkinight is a very playable solo class and makes high damage.

I found Berserker was great for solo.

Leveled a few of each. Both lovely classes but I found SK needs a little more thinking.

i would love to know what you mean by thinking, I've found you just spam all your spells none of this game feels like yous hould think before using spells.

My mains are an SK and a Pally, I like both <3

SK seems to be better at handling crowds of stuff even level or lower, Pally seems better at fighting singles at even level or slightly higher. If you're using mercs you probably won't notice much difference.

Although i only got to 95 with a sk, I will say i built him out as a high self sustain tank, and worked out great for both solo and group content, but as far as damage sk does mostly a ton of aoe dots with some aoe burst mixed in.
Also move spamming isnt the best idea in level approriate raids, alot of abilities work better as combos than just spamming them off cooldown, and never forget those heroic opportunities.

SK for dps, Pally for pure tankage.. pally is more about controlling the named by transferring hate to himself while buffing his allies. and ofcus do some dmg. pally are generally considered topnotch maintank, were SKs takes a little more cus the lower survivability and less hatecontroll. SKs use dps to create agro, but it can be difficult to hold it when you play with worldclass raiders who unleash hell. SK mains exist but theyre not too common. SK soloers/mediocre grp-tanks is a dime a dozen

but this is just details tbh, and not even 100 % accurate. both classes is more than capable of both soloing and grping pretty much anything. SKs will come to short when it comes to agrotoggeling, snaps etc simply cus the AoEs are more dps oriented than agro/hate transferring, and pally will likewise be left in the dust when it comes to chainpulling as the SK just pile em up and burn em down..
