This is just a concept of my dream Knight. It will likely never be considered but I think it would be really fun to have a class like this that is both melee and ranged.

 

Out of the 4 available tanks, only 2 are very viable as DPS classes, Warrior and Beastmaster. Knight and Monk lack the DPS potential of those 2 classes so to fix that I'm going to write up the idea that's been in my head for a while now. Basically, you will be prompted upon picking Knight or Monk whether you want to be DPS or Tank and you skills will change accordingly. For Knight, your swordsman skills will also change and upon becoming a DPS Knight, your stats will reset. So lets get to it. Since Knights are my favorite class, I'll start with them and do Monk another day. The skill tree layout will be the same but the skills themselves will mostly be changed.

Finally someone understands that knights can use spear/lances too ^^ im digging the concepts.

[Meconopsis]

Decent concept, but I can point out a few problems.

The tether mastery and tether item are completely broken ideas.
You kept battle tactics with the above statement.
You have two hard crowd control abilities, which are insane as they are ranged. Plus one more but it's random. Makes this concept the ultimate PvP design.

[Kupfner]

Not bad, but most skills are so similar to common knight so the build will not much different. Im proposing some interesting skills:
Spear quicken [replace joint beat]
Focusing ur power to use ur spear effectively. Increase ur haste rate by 10%/20%/30%/40%/50% (dont worry it wont be so OP even u get huge haste) and give a 1%/2%/3%/4%/5% to inflict stun/panic/curse (like the GS debuff) randomly. *u can only use spear quicken or tether training at one time*

Frenzy [replace spear dynamo] duration: 3 minutes (like ymir) or till die, 3 aura required
By risking urself, u unleash a great power to destroy enemies. Dispell spear quicken/tether training buff. Increase ur max HP by 60%/120%/180%/240%/300%, ur move speed by 40%/80%/120%/160%/200%, and ur haste by 20%/40%/60%/80%/100%, but decrease healing amount recieved by 50% (dont worry this is intended to make fun) and increase damage recieved by 100%. Every 5 sec u lose 20% of ur max HP (buffed with this skill, this is the challenge so if priest cant outheal the cost he will die soon not to mention the enemies attack as he is fragile). Cannot use any other items or skills (normal attack only).

Spear mastery [replace aura mastery]
Give a 5%/10%/15% chance for spear stab to hit twice, and a 1%/2%/3% for spear stab to hit 3 times (a good way to bring the memory of pierce skill in ro1 )

Well thats all which come out from my mind, ill add more if i get another interesting idea.

I like the idea of making a Knight use Spear or Lance, I was wondering it when it will be..

 

And as a sword loving knight, I think on my opinion, for a start to make a DPS/Knight using sword, is to give it the ability to use both Aura Blade and Aura Armor at the same time..

 

And it should have the Bowling Bash skill as its sword ultimate attack, coz knight owns it on the first place, and it should have the same concept as brandish storm but in vertical rotation..I think..

 

And as a main TANK its kinda the slowest inside a dungeon, it should be a little fast runner, or have it a unique ability to summon Peco inside a dungeon, only if this Grind Dungeons goes on...

 

And I was dreaming for a "Dual Sword Knight"..^^lol

 

Anyway I'm looking forward on this Spear Knight,...good luck..

 

 

[Greven79]

No significant changes towards the current knight, except for another weapon AND more importantly.... attack range. And the latter is what makes it really problematic.
