Hows the Knight nowadays?
 

I played this game a year ago and everybody felt like the Knight class was pretty underpowered compared to some of the other classes. Are the Knights better than they use to be a year ago? Have they received any skills or buffs that make them better than before? Are they a much better class overall than a year ago?

It's the best class man. I've played it for over a year and half and they drastically recently improved it.

Feel like doing some damage (1.9 k ripost xD) on epic bosses while still being able to cast auras - check

Feel like tanking an entire armies range team with one spell, new defensive stance - check

Feel like protecting all your pals and dispelling that dreaded confuse off ur conjs - check

Feel like being able to block whenever you think you should - check

Feel like looking good doing all that? xD - check

Feel like making a ridiculous checklist? - check

Wow, knights really do have it all.

When i gradded my knight i left it alone never to be seen again.
Now its my second most used char. I have fun with it.

Finally knight have their part of fun in this game... i never enjoy this game so much as the last weeks..

as Ultimate said before.. now you can tank with some efficient (REALLY),
you can protect your mates from be devastated by area effect spells (and skills), you can try to fight as a bad dude if you wish to (i'm not a 1vs1 one :D
but i see some of my class-mates do really well) , you can FINALLY avenge
your infinite death versus the bad-ass-hunters that will not run away like
hell now.. (now they go in hell! :D)

Alright awsome, thats reall good to hear becaus i have a lvl 15 knight, probably will start playing again now

The only drawback is their speed.
But they are versatile, can do support, tank and hit like a barbarian (in AMUN).

my lvl 42 knight can do just about all of that (with the exception of 1.9k ripost and dispel (i dont have it skilled.... but i COULD)

Which Realm did you play?

Cannot normally do that damage, was for alasthor. Have to skill for offensive stance 5, all the str passives and weapon magnification get onsed and blessed and have dragon disabled . But it was nice seeing that number :D
