Knight or Barbarian?

Raz23 · 07-30-2009, 09:05 AM

Howdy,
I just started playing a few days ago and my char ThunderGoat just made it past level 10 so I have to choose between a Knight or a Barbarian.
My nature makes me lean towards Barbarian, but seeing how I really don't know anything yet I figured I'd ask for the pros and cons before committing.
Gonna pass out for a while and see whats been written when I wake up.

If you naturally lean towards barbarian go with that....

Knight = Alot of hp, a few blocks, a few protective spells and auras(buffs for all allies in range)
But also poor damage, being ignored by enemies. And the slowest class to grind in the whole game. Knight also have a rather random block system, you never know when you block. Blocks also got heavy nerfed. Sometimes I even edvade more than I block.

Barb = High Damage, alot of CC spells (crowd control). Alot of stuns and knocks.
But also low health(can still be high with good items), dies faster than other classes.

I really think you should be a barb if you lean towards it. I picked a Knight, worst idea I have ever had in this game.

the barb has a lot of damage and the knight a lot of hp

I haven't played a high lvl knight, but I have a max lvl barb so I'll talk about that.

Barbs are big hitting, scary mofo's. A buffed barb can take half an enemys hp with one attack (depending on target).
Crit on a mage, though this is more than half a mages hp

With /reset_powers you can have a number of setups at hand.

A defensive barb is not easy to kill, Frenzy (5) Reduces the amount of physical damage by 20%.
Caution (4) Adds the sum of 50% of your armour to the total armour count.
Then we have the 3 passives in your weapon trees,
Steel Templer (4) Resists Peircing damage by 17%.
Bendable (4) Resists Slashing damage by 17%.
Finally Iron Skin (4) Resists Blunt damage by 17%.
So thats a total of 37% resist to all 3 physical damages, not forgetting the extra 50% armour you have

With a setup similar to this you can also use a buff called Berserk (5), it increases your attack by 50% a the cost of 100% armour points, but for some reason Caution will give you back a couple of armour points

Then there is Colossus (5), it increases you total strength by the sum of 50% at the cost of 25% hp and mana

.
Not forgetting the weapon buff of your chioce, Brutal Impacts (blunt), Agile Maneuvers (peirce) & Accurate Swings (slash). Adding 60 to you total damage.
Last but not leased, Thirst for Blood (3) Cummulative damage spell that increases your damage on each sucessful hit (normal) by 30. It also increases your attack speed by 9% on this level, 15% on lvl 5 and 50 commulatitive damage.

These are the spells used to make the crit hit you see in the attached screen shot.

I hope this was of some help to you and that a knight player can enlighten you to their skills.

See you on the battle feild friend

or foe

make yourself a hunter NGD loves hunters.

to the red "kar-man" NGD love hunters because they are giving him all the tools for killin every1 in PVP and taking the tools of everyone to kill hunters.

lol dani

barbs are relatively easy to level compared to knights (my personal opinion) and I like their high dmg, but I know of some players with knights who practically crush their enemies with decent dmg and high hp
