So out of curiosity, I decided to start an SK, mostly because I always chose Paladins and want to see which is better.
So far, SK's are better. Much better imo. Fun to play and they level really fast, good to solo with.
Ofcourse, never having played an SK before, nor Paladins in EQII btw as I never cared for them as I did in EQI, I have some questions I couldn't seem to find the answers to in other threads on the forum here.
1. agi is completely unimportant? For a Monk, it's pretty vital, but what are the main stats to look for as a SK?
2. Deity, I just went for Innoruuk for some reason, is Rallos Zek a better one? (or is it all just not that important?)
3. any spells from adventure packs I should definitely go for? Monks have the Devastating Fist from the vampire adventure pack, is there such a spell for SK's too?
4. twohander solo, 1h and shield in group? I've gone with the 1h and shield for the extra defense so far.

Most people rock a 1 handed with a shield, but the 2 handed has its perks.
As far as the stats, your Wis & Int will be a huge help along with STR.
Wis & Int will help with your desiese DOT's and other spells.
You also get a decent spell from the bloodline cronicles at lvl 35
Diety, go with Bertoloxx in gorowin, he is a desiese god

You can spec and gear your SK a little differently based on the role you'd like to play. Mine is almost purely built for surviveability and tanking.
1. agi is completely unimportant? For a Monk, it's pretty vital, but what are the main stats to look for as a SK?
Agi is important to a degree as it increases your base avoidance. As you progress (and particularly vs Raid mobs), your Uncontested avoidance takes precedent (Block, Parry, Riposte) over your overall baseline percentage though.
2. Deity, I just went for Innoruuk for some reason, is Rallos Zek a better one? (or is it all just not that important?).
For tanking and surviving you'd be better served with Brell or The Tribunal. For DPS or RP you'd be better served with Innoruuk, Bertox or Ralos. Its not super important, but can be of great help situationally.
3. any spells from adventure packs I should definitely go for? Monks have the Devastating Fist from the vampire adventure pack, is there such a spell for SK's too?
The Bloodlines spell Doom Judgement is a great one. The Splitpaw taunt is useful as well occasionally (forget the name at the sec).
4. twohander solo, 1h and shield in group? I've gone with the 1h and shield for the extra defense so far.
Tanking, I'd go 1H and Shield until you build up a few AAs and gear up well...2H can be used situationally (capable group, after testing surviveability vs the mobs you are hunting etc..)
For DPSing....generally stick to a 2H.

Thanks for the info!
Since I'll be mostly soloing, I'll try and find a decent 2H and see what that does.
