True, Parry does circles around Saders autoguard, however??as a tank, you lose the shield cards because parry can only be used with 2 hand swords. Crusaders/Palidins still have?? a wide array of Defensive/supportive skills that??make them much more valueable as a tank, Shield reflect, Heal, and Defender being a few of the notable ones, but he doesn't like the way pallie's look
There is no class that is build for the truly lazy,Least of all the classes you listed.??They require Decent to good gears to stand a chance in serious builds, especially tanker builds. Vit chars have a hard time leveling solo without good gears and LOADS of money/time??spent on buying/farming healing items, or fighting weak monsters which you'll probably get bored of looking at the 0.00% sign??pretty quickly.
Easiest way to train a vit character is to mob stuffs as you don't lose as much as Pure Agi builds do??when they're mobbed, You might lose a tiny bit of your vit def, i dunno, but you still have that sexy cushion of High HP to compensate. I know for a fact you did a little bit of mob training in rachel before it got the 5 minute respawn on your Knight/LK, and you probably made a bit of money from it too. However if you do this, You'll need both HP healing items, and SP healing items, since vit builds are most often skill oriented and the shear numbers you'll have to tank while??you bowling bash the Bajesus out of them. also, It's best to get the most out of your SP, so fighting monsters 1 vrs 1 is a waste of time and SP imho in a vit build, and that sorta limits where you can level efficiently. It's Kickass in??PVP setting, Your already high HP is probably around 20 k + and you'll have pretty good resistance, if not immunity to most vit based status effects like stun and silence. Your HP recovery and def will make it??hard for others to do any decent damage so you can sit back and whittle away their HP. And with frenzy, you can hit 190 aspeed with zerk pot and two hand quicken with 0 Agi. Though Acid Demonstration will always, always, always sting and doom most of your HP away. It's My build of Preference, and it'd probably be the most likely to be invited to an MVP party.
An Agi Build makes up where the vit build lacks in 1 vrs 1 battles, High attack speed and decent flee. However, you'd be extremely vunerable to statuses, This is probably the cheapest way to level up your LK, but.... Unless you fight the right high end monsters (seems like only ranged characters can do this and actually see any actual progress),??it still seems slower than mobbing in my perspective. LK's in frenzy loose some of their already Mediocre flee, and all of your non-existant vit and armor defenses are wiped away (Parry excluded). In PVP, it's not very useful since almost everyone and their mother has dex, and I think I've heard flee is reduced in PVP and woe. It'd be fun to see one as an emp breaker, but a vit frenzied LK would probably outperform an agi one. It'd easily die to most MVP's if you're going to tank, and end up killing the party.
My second personal favorite is a Hybrid LK. While you don't have full vit or agi, you dabble in both,??and have a moderately expensive build. While you'll still need healing items, the agi you'll have will give you the freedom to fight more monsters 1 vrs 1 and still have some vit for HP and mobbing capacity. You'll have decently high HP and some resistance to statuses as opposed to no resistance, or heavy resistance. PVP wise, It's not good but it's not bad either. You can fight with regular attacks and quicken a lot easier than you could in the vit build, and you can take attacks better than you can in the agi build. Another bonus,??It's beautiful that it's useful for both PVM and??PVP, so you won't have to spend so much money on the reset, or go in with an agi build every time you want to PVP or woe. It's sort of like Half and half.??I'm not so sure on MVPing in this build. True you do have some HP, and resistance to statuses. I think quite a bit depends on your vit def after all?? the mob controlling characters Kill off the slaves and it's just you and the MVP.
I would advise on sinx or Stalker, however, I don't know crap about them. I know loads of people prefer sin for??PVP, and it has the 3rd highest HP modifiers next to??LK's and Pallies, but You'd need someone else to talk to you on that. Personally,
I haven't seen too many knight class chars in woe High vit = Bio chem target, but endure (while you can still get stunlocked, it gives the same amount of Mdef as the level used for the entire duration) and full Mdef gears can easily make it a nice precast breaking??char, assuming they can get past the traps. Most precasts I've seen are all huddeled together making bowling bash doing the double splash hit really brutal to wizzies, even with thara and??energy coat.
