No knights in top ranks - is there a reason?

[skhotoveli 0]

Hi guys,

 

I am a new player, and I am debating between Fighter and Knight. Looking at the player rankings of Bellatra and PVP I see that the Knights presence is very small.

Is there a reason behind it?

Are these rankings a fair representation of classes in the high levels?

 

In higher levels - is it more important to have a skill which deals damage to many monsters or a skill which deals damage to one monster?

 

Thanks

Looks like u prefer to PvE, I would recommend you to go with Fighter (if you are in doubt between KS or FS).

 

But it will be really hard for you to start from the bottom because they can't lvl up by themselfs in low level and later on you will be lurer for quest and not sure if you want to do that.

The reason is simple:

 

 

Knight has an amazing Tier 5 but was nerfed to the ground so it's weaker than Brandish - which in case is bad by nature.

 

 

 

In PvP they're OK, but Fighters outshines KS because while Knight is casting 1 Grand Cross, Fighter almost casted 2 Avenging Crash. Fighters have a insane attack speed.

Thats really lame! In any other server I played before, the Knight was a very substantial class... After reading a little through the forum I got the felling the the Knight's tier 5 is pretty useless. Hope GM will fix that...

It's not quite like that.

 

Knight is one of the best class in RPT - it does what it was designed to do - a extremely good all-around class in the game.

 

But, his greatest weakness is AoE. So, 99% of the time you spend leveling up with AoE, and we feel that Lightning Sword doesn't add much in comparison to Brandish. And when leveling up, Knight is way, waaaaay behind pretty much everyone in the game due to poor AoE.

 

Lightning Sword WAS extremely good, but it got nerfed because of magic classes being outclassed.

 

What happens when you have a class that is OK at most of the time, but is bad at leveling up, the result is pretty simple - no one is quite interested in it.

 

 

Atalanta and Mechanics are better on Hunting.

Mechanic is way better at tanking.

Everyone else except Priestess / Mage deals more 1v1 damage on PvP / Hunting

Priestess is better at killing Undeads

Everyone else except Mechanics are better at AoE

 

 

So, when you have a good, balanced class but it isn't good at leveling up neither excels at something, people just switched to better classes, like Fighter for example.

Exactly. There is no upside whatsoever to play with a Knight. In my opinion each class should have some appeal to it, and in the current state of things the knight might as well be completely removed from the class choices, as he is just not really good at anything.

To me, Knight is in a good, perfect balanced shape the way he is now.

 

 

The only thing they could get is a boost into Lightning Sword. The damage could be decreased, but the interval could be shortened, like before.
