Is this trade-off going to be the change that will "provide strong resistance against higher damage dealers, such as barbarians."?


You can't be really serious. This update is just forcing knights going to play Knarb instead Tank + Support. Huge minus from me.

Well yea, they added a really nice support spell with the absorb one. But at the same time they improved knarbing by a lot.

When i tested def stance against marks today, it was really bad imo. It was a marks with quite bad gear, no wm jewelry and bad weapons. He did hit me around 130 thru def stance.
Only with def stance + caution 5 + deflecting barrier i was able to get it down to around 60.
Also just using sudden strike already increased the damage a lot.

That's still more than he would hit me with his gear on the current system with def stance alone.

Meanwhile tanking against barbs didn't improve by much either.

I feel like only way to properly tank now is to get the duration amu and pb 5 and rotate pb - ao1 - pb. And prolly block on a high lvl too and hope to be lucky. Gonna be really mana expensive.

Conjus will have one more class to take care of from now on.

And knarbs will have some fun in 1v1s etc.

Edit: Fort wars will be still fine probably. I think big scale open field will be a lot harder for knights though.
