Dark knight certainly is one of the more unique classes to play, its definately not easy to master, but once u learn how to play it properly, its insane. Very similar to how Corsairs are, they are one of the hardest class to use when trying to produce The best DPS, but i’ve seen many Sairs in my life that whites lots of NL.
I don’t agree with HB is not a useful buff, having a DK is almost one of the best and useful class in Horntail It opens up lots of opportunities, where dps can split up to both sides and maxmise dps. Able to increase all HP pool, as only a small % of players actually wash to 30k HP on their NL/BM Allowing players to rush arms with ease. And of course its easier to bring buyer to survive the horntail run by actively buffing HB to them. Theres so much positive things about dark knight, personally i think its alittle overpowered incomparison to his brother, paladin or other classes like bucc/shad/MM which is desperately looking for a buff
Im not sayin hb is useless, but lets face it, if dont have se u dont want to boss, if u dont hace hs u dont want boss either, but hb and si, are quite nice, but not completely needed, if u dont either of those u say, Meh, lets go! And like the other comments say "oh hb is completely needed wheb theres ht or zak buyers, i feel, omg, if wanted to be a supportive clases i should make a bishop...
I can do this with Power Strike and a slow weapon so Drk's with their Crusher shouldn't be an issue considering I saw Drk's do this in msea. She's slow to kill for both Hero's and Drk's, but the option to kill her under 10min is still on the table.
Why would you not want to boss is there's no SE when you're not a NL? That statement itself sounds ridiculous but if anything it should be reserved for Heroes and esp Paladins who are much weaker in comparison to DK. No matter what we do we will never reach the dps of DK, which feels pretty sad since this boss runs is all about DPS. Not to mention if you boss enough it is common that most boss runs include a SE or often the run is cancelled. Even if you don't boss often, you can just see the smegas R> SE multiple times daily. On the topic of SE you should also know how much more DK benefits from SE (and SI by extension) compared to other warriors, feel free to check it out here. You should ask your Hero/Pala friend to show you how shitty their SE buffed damage is like compared to yours. So DK already has the highest possible dps compared to other warriors, but that's not the end because there is an invaluable skill called Hyper Body, the only skill enabling other low HP players to meet the minimum criteria or making decent HP players have that luxury to not die as often. How is that useless or not completely needed? I know quite a few BMs and NLs that absolutely need HB in order to run Shaolin, Toad, HT, etc.. But I understand it is certainly not easy to master Berserk and the inconvenience that comes along with it, so until perhaps someone finds a better way to "balance" the warrior classes (if deemed necessary), at the very least DK shouldn't be getting any buffs..
Indeed Bishops is supportive class, definately. But once mastered and learnt properly, just like DK or even other classes as others mentioned, can be an outrageously powerful then what others can expect. Another good example like Paladin, yes it might be weak, but if you bring a main paladin and a mule , double crash will improve a normal HT/Zak/Krex run time by an insane amount. Take another look at your class, instead of focusing on its weakness, try to push and abuse the potential of your particular chosen class.
I dont know if i dodnt explain myself or u dont read my comment right, u dindt see u givibg me the right? Wi this comment u a re supporting What i Just said...
First off all they should buff buccaneers. The transformation should give a +60 watt boost... But in things nerf and buff i just think about the skill alchemie. Why doesnt bandit have this skill? And why a nooblord has??? He has nothing really nothing to do with the nature!!!! Droprate increase yea, more mesos okay! But alchemie should only be aviable for mages and/or archers!!! Both use the spirit energy from the natur. Nooblords have flashjump everyelse should be nerved... I dont want to see 5 nl and 1 bm on a party. I want to see more mixed partys! With warriors and pirates because they do mixed more damage! But that would not happen... Poorly :-( greetings Mia Sad...
Glasscannons? Becaus the low hp pool? Lol Its the cheapest attacker class on server and not even deal the lowest dps, pls nerv xD
Different point of views i supposed... The fact of being cheaper to fund comparing with a nl o bm, doesnt make it the cheapest....
My first attacking class was Dark Knight and I didn't even realize the importance of HP washing until I was like 90. I starting wearing INT equips quite late but I was still able to reach 18750~ HP (30k with HB) by Lv. 155 which was just in time to start going to Horntail. If I had decided to play any other attacking class, I probably would have remade another character. Dark Knights literally have the easiest HP washing requirements in the game for an attacking class. You can easily hit their HP ceiling because of HB and the low amount of HP washes required. I believe it's somewhere around 150~ AP resets? since they should have at least 11k hp by 155 and they'll need roughly 8000 more HP which is 8000 / 50 = 150~ Someone can correct me for the exact number. 150 HP washes requires roughly 600~ bonus MP which is easily obtainable without adding any base int.
