What to expect from Shadow Knights on EZServer (2023):
First things first, it's NOT recommended to make a Shadow Knight if you intend for it to be your main tank. If you got a special affinity for Shadow Knights, you could make it work somewhat, but in reality the Warrior has higher damage mitigation and just does a much better job at tanking on EZ. In the early years of the server (~2008-2011) the Shadow Knight was often the preferred tank for many players and at that point the SK was in fact a better tank. Today though everyone runs a Warrior as their main tank and for good reasons.
The Shadow Knight does a pretty decent job at being a damage dealer though if you compare it to the other melee classes (except Rogue). Slightly lower than a monk, but slightly higher than Rangers and Berserkers currently. People tend to use 2 handed weapons for their Shadow Knight, i.e. Deathfist People Splitta' and eventually maybe an Ultimate Great Axe XII. The Jailer's Impenetrable Chestplate from bosses in Veeshan's Peak will further increase your damage with the click effect that casts Death II.
