With the new updates in KMST both classes have, they both look VERY intresting to me. Paladin has a more defensive play (+ self heal move and tankier moves ...) while Shadowers still get their hax avoid. so I'm doubting between the 2 classes, also most of the time I'll be playing alone or bossing alone, so I don't care about crappy party skills edit: thank you, all, for not turning this into a flamewar. You've been most helpfull

I guess you should go with Paladin since Dual Blades will take thier place. White seems pretty funny. I watched a few vids from them in 2007, back then when there was no Hammers and nlack scroll just came out. On the other side, bandit nice to me mainly because of stun kills and poisoning ones. I'd vote Pally IMO

I think DBs dropped to like 6th. xD Edit: Both are well balanced in offense/defense to me, just Shads a little more offensive, Pallies a little more defensive. So it comes down to Ninja vs Soldier. xD

You sure on the +10% HP? I remember Sins getting Shadow Resistance that gives +10% HP at max, but not sure if I saw it on the Bandit list. But I may have missed it. xD I would really consider playing style before costs, since to me, if you enjoy playing style a lot, costs really don't matter. I think Pallies are more straight-forward, while Shadowers have more opportunities to be tactical. xD

They're overpowered, but not so far as to replace another class. Just like how Arans were supposed to replace Warriors, but I don't see that happening at all.

I has a shadower and am working on my wk right now. XD I'm not sure about higher level play on the Pally since I'm not there, but surviving the hell levels of cb is definitely worthwhile when you make it to Shad. Shad's playstyle is also relatively different to other classes, whereas Pally play is similar to other warrior types, except more awesome. -is biased- My Shad is definitely still my favorite, but I'm thinking Pally will be a close second.
