Yeah, this post will be a heresy & sacrilege.... But, think about it...

 

We have lost our Parry (Gre~at ¬¬ Damn you "RE-Balance"), We have lost our place as Main Tank (Thanks again, "RE-Balance"), We have lost even our comrades...

 

Sword and Shield were the MAIN Weapons in the Entire History...!!

 

And Now we are just Trash!!

Scum!!...

NOTHING!!!

(Except for: TidusPeco and D34THN0T3, they are still the best of the best)

 

I tried a Lot of Builds... STR/AGI, STR/INT, STR/VIT... Lots of Pj wasted... Several hours of dedicated Playing just wasted... For Nothing...

 

Then, I thought in this: http://ro2base.com/b...1.1.1/0.0.0.0.0

 

The Stats would be: STR: 51 until lv50, then in MLv1: 76 (+5 Per lv)

 

Look, We don't need "Damage reduce" from "Aura Armor", It just create more Treat and the enemy start to focus on us... Also, With "Aura Blade" we gain a Bonus in our Aoe "Grand Cross"... An String attack + Enough HIT to kill everything...

 

Even, some MLv's later we can Unlock "Concentration" to obtain another Bonus of Attack (+20%), maybe we decrease our Defense in 10%, but that's why I unlocked "Aura Shield"...

 

"Shield Cannon" is our Best attack facing a Boss or Pj in Colo or anywhere.. Sword and Shield working together again...

 

"Justice with My Sword...

Honor with My Shield..."

 

The rest of the Stats can be obtained with the New Cards from Dayr...

 

 

Opinions? Objections? Something to Add?

 

PS: This is not MY Build... I have an Old type... But, if this post is Good and you support me in this... This will be my new Build and I will give you a Real Feedback about it...

knight is one of the best class right now anyway.

[BaalMardikt]

knight is one of the best class right now anyway.

 

Explain me that, please... Maybe, yeah, the Gears are better now, but even that way we still are killed by the other classes or 4 enemies... (5 -7 Mukas can Kill me even having "Destruction" Element, I'm MLv7 right now)...

 

My Stat Build is a Error trying to use BT and Int: STR:60 - AGI: 34 - INT: 16

 

Kill me please...

youll understand as you go higher

Ur post is some kind of tldr, but ill explain each point u worry about:

1. We have lose our parry

Yes, we lose it but dont forget we get improved dodge for exchange, what do u think better: 50% damage reduction or 0% damage without seeing any multiplier?

2. We have lost our place as main tank

Talking bout main tank, there is no real main tank for pve content cos every1 can tank most of the mobs. If u refer to who can make agro the highest, the answer is either priest or cres and not from former 4 tanks before. If u refer to who can reduce damage the most, knight is still the best. If u refer to who can survive the longer, BM is the answer.

3. I tried a Lot of Builds... STR/AGI, STR/INT, STR/VIT... Lots of Pj wasted... Several hours of dedicated Playing just wasted... For Nothing...

I think it would be wiser for some1 coming back to check/ask some new info before deciding something, but fear not its not the matter of how u put ur stat. At least u still have another points waiting in journey to ml 30, u can make up for that, and knight is not a class which focus in 1 stat, in fact we need diverse and balanced stat to be good. U can also always swap rune, card, title, etc. to get desired status in total (unless u aim for colo but colo now is abandoned by ppl). Tell me ur tendency playstyle and ill suggest the good status for u.

4. Then, I thought in this: http://ro2base.com/b...1.1.1/0.0.0.0.0

That build is not yet complete with 20 skill point extension from ML. But from the theme i see in it, it must be some kind of pure dps build. Then u should max bt, max shield bash, max shield boomerang, and drop both the shield aura and sf cos no point taking them if u want to be pure dps. And if it is the skill build u want, i suggest u pump any stat to INT to get maximum damage benefit.

5. Look, We don't need "Damage reduce" from "Aura Armor", It just create more Treat and the enemy start to focus on us... Also, With "Aura Blade" we gain a Bonus in our Aoe "Grand Cross"... An String attack + Enough HIT to kill everything...

This depends on what ppl playstyle, sure if 1 think bout defense aura armor will be always needed cos it can help u "to absorb damage". Yes grand cross will be a decent aoe with aura blade thats why ppl who choose aura armor will most likely leave their grand cross at level 1.

6. Even, some MLv's later we can Unlock "Concentration" to obtain another Bonus of Attack (+20%), maybe we decrease our Defense in 10%, but that's why I unlocked "Aura Shield"...

Concentration is good, but putting ur 5 points only to a skill that nullify ur drawback as dps for 10 sec (aura shield) is a waste. Btw, pure dps always think of how they can produce great damage that if possible can kill enemy in 1 hit or at least short time (some secs), so u should think of how to kill before getting killed later, and u will be just fine.

7. "Shield Cannon" is our Best attack facing a Boss or Pj in Colo or anywhere.. Sword and Shield working together again...

Yea man its really great, not to mention we get higher chance to crit with bt benefit cos the hit is split into 3 times, and good boost damage while enemy is knocked down.

So, what do u think now? Better?

75% Says "Yes!"...

 

The build is not complete because we need to "Buy" our Skills Points in Master Lv... So, we need More and More EXP....

 

About "Concentration/Aura Shield", At Max Lv, Concentration= +20% Damage & -10% Defense, Aura Shiled= +20%... Final: +20% Dmg (15 - 45 Sec.) & +10% Defense (10 sec.).

 

Thanks for you Comment... BTW... "Thumb up" or "Thumb down"? I'll try it if I gain at least 3 Thumbs Up...

That's for Master Lv17... You don't gain "Skill Point" in ML... So it doesn't work for Masters... I'm trying to give a Build for Young Knights.. (25->50).
