I'm looking at recent paladins that seemed to do well at PK. Was surprised to find that two of the top four were shield specialists: Caldysias and Risgran. The other two in the top four were champions, Talimor and Zurra, but that's not as surprising.

Overall, out of the ones that seemed to kill pretty often, there were 5 monks (Aesoakob, Sirelas, Eliara, Dolindar, Hunsodin), 3 shield specialists (Caldysias, Risgran, Aelekai) and 2 champions (Talimor, Zurra).

What's up with the shield specialists? Were they successful at PK despite specialising in shield, or does it compare favorably to champion and monk?
