Playing and abilities: Knights

[DkySven]

Note for the people who see this thread now, all setups until page 9 are outdated because of the big balance update launched in July 2010. However, there is still some valuable advice left on the first 9 pages.

Ok, lets make this thread:


Marksman
Hunter
Warlock
Conjurer
Barbarian


My current setup is
slashing lvl 7
passive dexerity

blunt lvl 7
passive strenght

piercing lvl 15
balestra(4) great spell :P
agile manouvre(1) to take the gate down
ripost(4)nothing to say
agility(2)atm no other place to store the points, slashing-resistance always usefull
brain piercing(1) useful vs mages with their big blue spheres at the staves

tactics lvl 11
feint(3) one of the spells I like the most
spring(3) speed is the core of an MMORPG
(caution) lvl 50 archer guards hit me for 40 with it(current armor is very good vs piercing(duelist)

vanguard(19)
taunt(1) useful to call aggro mobs out of clouds of aggro mobs and to get rid of "somons"(if warlocks don't want them) and pets
provoking blow(2) great vs archers in this evasive days
stone temple(5) health and knock down resistance
stars shield(5) only aura I have atm, it's nice
Army of One(5) you could call it god-mode

shields(15)
Next lvl I will get deflecting barrier
precise block(4) I LOVE IT!
shield bash(4) only dizzy spell I have at the moment
block(4) I am a block change junky
protector(1) I use it to cover myself while retreating
run over(1) might put some points in it, I don't like being knocked down

Ok, that was it.

Sorry, but I dont like this build. Use only 1 type weapon? -.- 2 wep its min, but best is 3 type, great idea.
19 vanguard, ok someone like AoO, not me but why dont add 5 too troll skin? 450 life more.
Now I use 10 piercing (2balestra, 2 passiv, 2 ripost, 2 passiv)
19 blunt! Crazyy dizzyy!,this skill with disped skills and best passiv
15 slashing (south cross!)
19 shield (I dont like only 5 passiv blok, 5 lowser blok chance :/)
vanguard 15... ye, without AoO, 30 sec it's too low duration, its nice in big battle but.... I prefer 19 shield, 3 type wep
Now I use this build and its very nice.

Slashing 15: South Cross at 4 and Passive at 3. I might use disable limb lvl 1 sometimes.

Blunt 15: Forceful Blow and Mind Squasher at 4, Passive at 3. I use ribs breaker lvl 1 when balestra is on cooldown or when i need to stop 2 enemies.

Piercing 7: Mostly for the range. I use lvl 1 balestra cause imo it's often enough.

Tactics 13: Feint, Caution and Spring at lvl 3. I use Defensive Stance lvl 1 sometimes when cleaning up infront of the fort door (i don't have to move around that much then)

Vanguard 19: AoO, Stone Temple and Arcane Constitution at 5. AoO is nice as long as you have a conju nearby. Without someone filling up your mana AoO is just to expensive to use, still a great skill though. Troll's skin at lvl 1 because 450 hp isn't worth 4 skill points.

Shields 19: Shield Bash at 3. Precise Block, Block Passive and Deflecting Barrier at 5

That's it but i probably forgot something. Sometimes i miss my old higher dmg setup but this one's better for my allies. Never underestimate lvl 1 skills

Atm i use 6 weapons: Fast and Slow slashing, Medium and slow blunt, Medium and Slow Piercing

Heh should a pt post here?
my setup:
slash 9(use a fast axe great for mages) everything at 1 cept disable limb lvl2(with sprint its ok for archers)
blunt 15(slow hammer) brutal impact lvl4,str pasive lvl4 mind squash pierce resist also at 4.use crushing too its awsome.
Pierce 11(slow spear) balestra and ripost at 3.i keep all 1st weapon spells at lvl1 because 100% weapon damage is good enought alone+low mana cost
tactics 11 sprint lvl3.i keep feint at lvl1 because of the low mana cost.caution is very very important and recast it everytime you can
Vanguard 15 stone temple lvl4.i keep arcane at lvl1 because my armour+caution soap enought damage.troll skin is lame but hey 150hp never hurt anyone.taunt is awsome for pets especialy in 1on1s with hunters.challange is a good spell too...
Shields 19 precise,block pasive,deflecting at lvl5 and shield bash at 4.protector i use sometimes to tank but it aint that good(no real purpose),deflect is good to cast when there are alot of archers around(with blunt pasive its 30% pierce resistance),heroic is awsome for warrior rushes if only it lasted more(right now too much mana short duration),and shield wall is good when you see znurre rushing
few tips.dont mix armours.get newest with most AP.tested it and resistances are total crap.use damage reducting spells and auras even at lvl1 because every little matters and can be the difference between giving and getting rp.PLEASE....kill the pets and guards 1st...rp is less important then saving a life of your teammate...use faster weapons for destroying doors...

Tips for 1on1...
Vs hunter
keep him close, keep him dizzy, keep him knocked...use balestra,disable limb(any lvl is good),sprint and taunt for the pet...kill the pet 1st...dont waste mana when they are using sotw...use mind squash to clear the buffs
Vs marks
imho easier then hunters...use balestra,mind squash,disable...its the same deal as with the hunters only no pet and no camo...
Vs warlocks...keep your blocks always on...use shield bash as much as posible and knock when they are casting spells(standing still)...try to use full damage combo's at the beggining of the fight because later you will have no mana...
Vs conjus...
Support conjus are easy when alone just mind squash them when they are buffed and keep dizzy...warjurers are much harder...you need to taunt the zarkit dizzy the conju,kill the zarkit then deal with the mage...without a zarkit they are a joke and 1dizzy+knock should give you enought time to kill them...
Vs barbs...look at what weapon they use and find a counter one...use mind squash to remove buffs and then balestra...try gutting and ripost or impale and gutting...after balestra hit them with crushing and knock...if you see that even after mind squash some weapon dmg is low dont try force using that skill tree...keep them dizzy with shield bash....the normal attacks can be lowered with caution...if you have aoo you can use it but never without precise block....NEVER!or you risk a mind squash and loss of 500mana...
Vs knights...this is like with barbs but when you see they are higher 3lvls then you dont try to fight them normaly...play dirty...get aggros on im and keep him from running away wit balestra or ribs...
Well those were just some lame tips hope some1 gets best out of them and becomes better(not better then me)....

Boger should post there :]

Or Twix

[DkySven]

I use only one weapon because I am very bad at switching them And I want the last area-spell of spears, AoO and maxed shields, so I can' t have more weapon disciplines. I have my points in stone temple instead of troll's skin because it doesn't cost mana, has no casting time and gives resistance against knock down.
