Knight

[EhKho]

I currently have a lvl 68 Knight (she's overbred). I have Str/Vit/Int stones, Str/Vit rings and her current pet is an Orc.

I was wondering if I have her build right?

I was also wondering if other higher level Knights could share their insights on the best methods for skill spamming. Do you hit 1 mob at a time? Hit numerous? Do you wait for breakers etc to run out on mob before using another or one after the other?

I know a tonne of questions but you don't know unless you ask :angel_not:

I have to say first that I haven't played a knight yet, unless we count my level 18 holy warrior, but from what I've read, there's the general feeling that knights should stick to DP's, as they are slow killers when soloing. Of course that might not be a problem for some people, at least it's not for me. Leveling fast isn't one of my life's desires, I am just taking my time and learning my own class, the shadow hunter.

I think there is no stone build you could say it's a wrong one, it depends on what you are aiming for; STR and VIT stones is a good build for a melee class as yours, enabling you to dish out more damage (some say damage output for knight is not very high, they're supposed to keep aggro and survive). When you're soloing I would suggest maybe a STR/VIT/AGI build as well, to increase evasion if you're not using a shield. I have seen knights soloing with a 2H mace and a blue pixie for good and fast healing. Otherwise, if you want to increase your mana pool, go for some INT stones as well. As for pet, orc is a pretty good tank as well as damage dealer, unity is fine too, but maybe you'd want to go for hawk if you can afford it.

Skill spamming, I cannot help you too much here, but can only speak from past experience on my other characters, an assassin and the shadow hunter; Asura race has the best evasion capabilities I think so evasion for them is high. I am not sure about Deva though. So maybe you should try to see if you can hold more than 3 mobs at the same time under control, damage dealt and received, chipping, holding aggro over your pet, especially when soloing. In DP's people will mostly look for kill speed, so things might get a little different there.

I can also point you to this link here (http://rappelz.wikia.com/wiki/Knight) for some more info on the knight, and this one here (http://rappelz.wikia.com/wiki/Stats_%26_Ability) for stats and abilities regarding builds.

If you have any questions I can help with, pm my shadow hunter in game. Hope I could be of some help to you.

Thanks, I've read the wikia pages, I guess I was just making sure I interpreted what I read correctly. I've avoided an AGI build due to my lack of dodging lol, I'm armed with a mace and shield and seem to do quite a bit of blocking.

Typical knight build is str/vit all the way through, if you find yourself having a bit of trouble hitting mobs/players higher than you (you can start missing @ just over 3 lvls) you can use 1 or 2 dex stones in place of a vit/str stone. Agi is almost completely useless unless you're r7 and going through the lower dungeons for the fun of it... Wis build is nearly useless as well since one or two stones won't make any difference, you'd have to have a completely seperate armor set (entirely including using hunter armor/helm) in order to make use of it vs mages. Int build 100% useless, don't even think about putting it in. Since knights primarily rely on blocking you'll need to up your shield and armor most importantly (assuming you're able to tank effectively) and your weapon last, yes, of course upping your mace as high as you can always helps. Knights almost soley dependant on using shield skills (shield smash, provocatoin, etc) befure spamming as a "multiplier" inceasing threat level on a mob group, move to the next after you've spammed about 2 - 4 skills, repeat the entire process. You can also wield 2h mace too as a backup.

Don't forget rings too, dex for increased accuracy (can't tank if you can't hit)
wis rings (for increased m.res)
vit and/or str are your primary rings, be smart adn try to stay within 5 - 8 lvls
