Knight Build Opinion

Alright, here's the case! I'm planning to make a rather different knight, not as resistant as your traditional knight, but slighly more speedy.
So well, untill you get to level 61, that's 60 level ups, so well,we're looking at 120 points. Regular stats are:
str 15
dex 15
sta 15
int 15
Okay, we have 120 points to spend, I'm looking to something like...
str (15+35)=50
dex (15+25)=40
sta (15+60)=75
int (15+0) =15
Well, the idea is to restore a knights slow attacking speed to a rather decent speed, good traditional damage, and then the good ol' sta for the defense. I'm trying to keep myself in the frame of a traditional knight, but with slightly more speed than usual. Of course I'm not sure if this is a good build, so I seriously need your opinions, if this is either bad, or even slightly worse than the traditional knight build(pvp-wise), then please tell me why this is wrong, and provide me with some other build.
Thanks alot for all your help.

when ur using skill only for main attacks, speed doesnt matter because skills have a set speed. You wont be using normal attack to kill monsters in the first place. I am level 58 now.. I use skill only (splamash and keen only) and Im doing great damage. FP pot might seem expensive at first but u will find something that can keep up with the FP usage.
I recommend 15 dex and 15 int.. dex might be great at first because it reduces miss alot but when ur spamming skills for kill at higher levels, you will regret putting in dex.. someone I know with 30 dex as a Knight bought reset item because he said dex is pointless.

I did that too for that exact reason. I only put in 30 dex to make my life easier as a merc. My suggestion is go with 30 dex MAX if you don't want to buy a stat reset scroll.

flyff must've made a traditional knight build work
its not so pointless, should this build be cheaper
it might as well be worth it

lvling might be a bit slower....

i wouldn't like to put dex for speed....
2h, you need to hit and crit maybe
50 DEX would be a good max
how useful is pvp?
lvling is always ass

Well thanks for telling me how useless dex is, just have something else to say. If dex and int are set at 15, how do I distribute the 120 skill points? how many go to strength and how many go to stamina? thanks alot for your information, I better go to sleep now, I'll check your posts by tommorow. Good night everyone, sleep well.

depends what u want

STR knight or STA knight?

STR = more str early stage and has more str than STA Knight.. name speaks for itself.

lucksick · 01-02-2006, 07:53 AM

Okay, I've waken up, so well, I know there's str and sta knights, and the useless dex knights, but what're the stat builds of a str or a sta knight? that's what I gotta know. D: mind helping me someone? please?

lucksick · 01-02-2006, 08:14 AM

Ehh, thanks for your opinions gys, I know what I'm taking, I'll get a
50 str, 15 dex, 100sta, 15int Knight, those stats sound pretty reasonable.
Well, thanks alot, I betta go now. Buh byes. XD

Ok my own Knight Built Opinion is Full Sta Knight .... perfect Skill Spammer and Tanker

Aibat Leader · 01-02-2006, 11:12 AM

pure sta would not be the perfect skill spammer
it be too slow
not a perfect tanker, cause mobs could always switch target

what happened to the traditional knight?

lucksick · 01-02-2006, 02:01 PM

Traditional knight, you mean, the one I'm building? lol. 50str/100sta is the traditional knight. D: and currently the stat build that makes most sence to me.

Aibat Leader · 01-02-2006, 02:13 PM

this one skill spams
i thought traditionally it would hit normally using skills time to time

but oh well =P
skills don't miss
speed is not meant for knight ...=(

lucksick · 01-02-2006, 02:23 PM

Okay this in sincerely senseless, I've continued reading about knights, and may I say I finaly understand newtons laws of motion, WTH!?
Okay, so in these forums I've been reading it's hard to get to level 60 without any dex. You've told me dex is pointless on a knight, since it doesn't affect the accuracy of skills, in that case, why don't mercenaries train using their skills, so why do they complain about not having dex? If they do need dex to hit a target, why don't knights need dex? this is making no sense to me, It's the first time I feel so arrghhhhh, Knights are so messed up. >.< Help me someone please.
Oh, I just found something else, someone says you should keep the gap between your sta and str at 20 because you need enough sta to survive and strength to kill your enemy quickly. Someone please make the universe make sense to me. @_@

Aibat Leader · 01-02-2006, 02:31 PM

ack
tsch
sorry

um, while a STA merc
you lvl via skill spaming/tanking for ur party
you can only skill spam
no normal attacks would hit since DEX is at the minamum
you might use a couple fp pots if ur STR is a bit high and STA is a bit low
you barely use food, where mobs would do minamal damage (if STA is high)
you fight those of higher lvls
knight should not have DEX, since they are useless in the future
skills require no DEX to hit, and they always hit 100% (all or most do i think)

lucksick · 01-02-2006, 02:45 PM

That's what I thought, but then why do mercenaries complain that it's too hard to level without dex, can't mercenaries stick to skill spamming too? oh, and one more thing, they're also saying that skill damage is also influenced by str, therefor you do need some str, making the proper ration 2:1 str:sta.
Well, thanks for clearing that out, just have one more doubt. Why do mercenaries complain about not having dex, and about it being too hard to get to 60 without dex, I mean, mercanaries CAN skill spam too, right?
