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Note for the people who see this thread now, all setups until page 9 are outdated because of the big balance update launched in July 2010.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.

I agree with Krs. Blunt is a very good discipline for knights(it hurts when I have it used against me...) and on a hunt with Krs, it just showed how well his setup works

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

There's only left about Barbarian and Hunters

[CumeriTarenes]

you play a barb as far as I know, valterbla

Sorry if this seems obvious but... in slashing and blunt, which passives do you mean? the weapon resistance ones or the dex/str ones.

The resistance ones, str passive would be nice but not enough points.

Gotcha thanks.
