Either way it makes whole lot of difference, especially since knights are equipped with 50 sec AoO and at least 4.5 k health.

Versus a warlock a knight needs all his health and then some. Using AoO costs a lot of mana, easiest skill to bypass. Often enough, the knight never gets close to a capable Warlock anyways. His own armour is used by the warlock to inflict damage. Blocking works only occsionally and in bursts when it does - which is rare (blocking is VERY VERY expensive for a knight in both setup points and mana for a 30 sec duration). Knights have no hope in hell to land a shield bash anymore (what was once its primary weapon without a shadow of a doubt).

While most classes have plenty of tools to reduce the effects of a skill like AoO (which in fact is a skill i despise), knights have very little to counter with.
Not to mention that our armour is a joke considering what a knight's role is.

Anyone having problems with a knight on AoO does not have enought IQ to put some parts together and therefore have problems with it... Good, it gives me alot of RP'eeees :P

More likely complaining about all the complaining knights do.

We all know the class needs a boost, we're aware it takes a long time to level, we've heard at length just how much every other class has advantages while knights crawl along crippled and under powered.

If it was nearly as bad as all the moaning and wailing made it seem, no one would play one. Since this is obviously not the case, it becomes clear that people play knights solely because they love to complain.

I, for one, will no longer be an enabler. It's intervention time .. just set the shield down and back away slowly.

Oh lol.

Then, marks aren't that bad, because I still see marks playing Same happens with the barbs, and same happened with the old locks

That post I did was not to complain about the state of knights ^^ If anything it was a complaint about people whining about Army of One.

It's funny that you didn't post this in a topic with rants about how weak barbarians are. I've seen quite a lot of those too.

Or maybe those people made knights before the class was nerfed terribly

Having a barb myself, I can see room for improvement. I have made suggestions in the past, but they were melee vs. ranged, so the knights were included.

Once NGD starts working on class balance, I'm sure the screaming will be loud and continuous!

Everyone put the Regnum down... and step away... BECAUSE THIS ENTIRE GAME IS FULL OF TEARS NO MATTER THE CLASS! So deal with it.

I have one of every class they all need work in different areas and from the look of it NGD listens primarily to newbs given the nerfs they've made. Veteran players can and will work around any of these so called "overpowered" spells. Infact I wish every spell was overpowered that way we'd have more choices for our points, giving us more unique builds and increasing the overall fun of the game. I guess its a good thing I don't make the choices for NGD.

Then your country randomly implodes.

you also become a virgin again
