I really wish I could be positive, but at this very moment, regardless of v12 coming or not, if nothing dramatic happens between now and V12, Knights will probably be a dead class.
Knights are good, but as far as I can see, we'll never be any "better" than a simple meat shield, or a failed attempt as a blade.
But I'm still crossing my fingers for something to happen, that's about all we can do.
i have a litle sugestion, it would be a good idea to change the +280HP from rage into something like +14-28%HP, so knights could get a decent hp bonus compared to a blades H.axes(+20%HP Each), the lvl60 and 90 knuckles(+15%HP), the lvl 60 and 90 bows(+15-20%HP) etc, i mean serious, even jesters get better HP bonuses, while our only decent aoe weapon is the lgba and we dont get it until 105(95 if u reduce it)
