[edit] Overview

Shadow knights are one of three plate-wearing, tank classes of EverQuest. They are a hybrid class mixing the many of the tanking abilities of a warrior with the spell casting ability of a necromancer. As a hybrid class, they lack some of the abilities of their parent classes. For example, shadow knights cannot dual wield like warriors. They receive many of the same spells as necromancers, but at later levels. They also receive many class-unique spells.

Unlike paladins, shadow knights are more offensively based: their poison-based and disease-based spells, in addition to their harm touches, augment their ability to damage their opponents. These dark knights are a popular choice for their ability to get snap aggro from mobs.

Shadow knights are also considered an evil class, and can be found among evil and neutral races. Due to their necromatic roots, they cannot be agnostic. Bertoxxulous, Cazic-Thule, and Innoruuk are the commonly worshipped gods. Ogres may also worship Rallos Zek.

[edit] Playable Races

Dark Elves, Erudites, gnomes, humans, Iksars, ogres, and trolls have the option of becoming shadow knights.
