Well, to be fair, you wouldn't be a necro if you didn't raise dead things from time-to-time.

I would say SK, especially now with AA builds. Necro I could easily see for older times, but the ability to tank is too necessary. I come back to EQ every few years, and I remember several times waiting to fight a mob a necro was on, they would be higher level, their pet would get facerolled and then they were too squishy to do anything. SK will facetank will casting lesser spells and will be ok cause you can self heal enough while auto attacking.

At high end, Necro pet tanks almost as well as a PC tank, at least for solo / molo where you don't have to pick up and maintain aggro on multiple mobs at once.

Necro also has considerably higher DPS than SK so is definitely the stronger solo / molo class.

I'm not saying SK isn't a strong choice but I'd put them in the 4-6 range for solo play just because of their lower DPS. They are still the best of the tank classes IMO and well ahead of the poor pure DPS classes like rogue, berzerker, monk and wizard.
