Hey guys,

 

I wanted to get thoughts on building a Str/Agi/Vit/Dex Bowling Bash Knight on RT with the current renewal formulas.   I mained a BB Knight on Rag: ReStart and I was one of the prolific streamers on that server.   Absolutely loved BB Knight and I'd like to recapture that joy.  My 99 Trapper on this server just isn't cutting it for me.

 

Do we believe BB Knight is viable and if so what is the meta stat/skill build?   

 

I'm currently @ Base 62 (?) and Job 25 (?) on my Knight.   Lots of room to grow.

 

I believe current stats look like this 60+Str, 40+Agi, 1vit (for now), 40+ Dex, 1int, 1luk.   

 

Please advise.

It depends whether you want to build it for pure PVM or PVP/WOE?

 

In PVM, are you planning to mob often? if you do, put priority on STR (9x) over AGI so that your BB can do max dmg. Otherwise, if you want to save more SP pots and often do killing 1v1, put more on AGI (9x) stats to maximize your ASPD. Since RT is still on early episode, endgame equipments are still limited. My advice is to get undershirt+pantie set and Sakkat for AGI to start.

 

if you are planning to build for PVP/WOE, you'll need to invest more VIT to get more MHP for survivability. Try to balance the stats around 8x STR, 7x AGI, 7x VIT

 

Plan it out using stats simulator. Here's what i want to build for example:

I also mained a BB knight on restart. The critical difference on this server is there is no such thing as a kafra blue so the SP to spam BB doesn't exist without spending a ton on strawberries and/or earth deleter card (14m right now I think?). If you can come up with zeny to cover hp & sp pots then BB is amazing because all monster HP values are renewal which means much less than restart. You can one hit a lot with some str and a basic +5 two handed sword.

Yea. i actually get 12 INT on my knight for additional +2 SP/regen. Ppl used to say knight is easy to level by spamming BB aoe but they burn SP pots alot

I 99d as brandish since its 12 sp per cast, and you can still one shot the best mobbing maps with minimal card investment and endow/aspersio (OD2, sky petites, goats, CT HOs). The loot you get easily pays for all consumables with plenty left over. You can do the same with BB but you tend to take more damage and the sp cost is higher I believe (wider variety of maps to mob on though since it does more damage)

is there a reason to have AGI as a BB or BS knight other than single target kills?

[EdwardEG]

The only benefit of having high agi for BB is for WoE purpose (not for BS). High ASPD helps in reducing animation delay when doing bowling bash. Knights in WoE can benefit this since they can spam BB multiple times on 1 spot on an enemy since pushback effect is disabled in WoE

AGI for BB is not only for WoE. With the current level cap at 99, ASPD and FLEE can still make a big difference in most PvM situations.

I would say that making a hybrid knight is probably the way to go. It would give you the best of both worlds. I would go with something like this. 70 str, 40 agi, 50 vit, 20 int, 50 dex, 1 luk. I just came up with this stats from experience, I did not use a calculator so not sure if you can max the stats as shown here, but something like this, will give you a well rounded build for multiple uses.

[MoyuZ777]

For skill sustain and regen.

I did say this. getting 12 INT doesnt hurt especially can save lots of SP when BB-ing

those would get you to around level 82 [checked with a stat calc]

 

expanding on that this is what I came up with, assuming your main focus would be Str and Vit with more Int

 

80 Str, 40 Agi, 80 Vit, 29 Int, 50 Dex, 1 Luk

 

still rounded but given the extra stats you'd hit harder, be able to take more hits and use BB more
