Grand Cross Paladin
High Damage Build

AGI: 1+8+12=21
VIT: 50+10=60
INT: 98+7+5+10=120
DEX: 79+8+4+10=101
LUK: 2+3=5
HP (with Matyr + Faith lv 10): 15788
SP: 1311
Weight: 3730
Stun time: 1.05 second
GC Damage (with +5 Double Andre Haedonggum): 9861(3287 x 3hit) - 14151(4717 x 3hit)
GC Cast time: 1 second
Stat effect equipment:
INT: Haedonggum (+3), Bazerald (+5), Earring (+2)
DEX: Zerom Glove (+4)
This build is for high damage, 50 STR and 120 INT will give u nice damage. DEX 101 is not bad. The reason why I put 1 earring 1 zerom glove is to make my INT become 120 without using INT headgear or whatever so u can have more defenses because INT headgear will remove Poopoo.
High VIT Build
STR: 21+9+10=40
AGI: 3+8+12=23
VIT: 70+10=80
INT: 98+7+5+10=120

GC Damage (with +5 Double Andre Haedonggum): 9531(3177 x 3hit) - 13821(4607 x 3hit)
GC Cast time: 1.38 second
Stat effect equipment:
INT: Haedonggum (+3), Bazerald (+5), Earring (+2)
DEX: Zerom Glove (+4)
This build have higher VIT than previous build. Higher VIT is for higher defenses and this build doesn't need to worry too much about stun.
Cast Time Rules Build
STR: 21+9+10=40
AGI: 4+8+12=24
VIT: 50+10=60
INT: 88+7+5+10=110
DEX: 93+8+4+10=115
LUK: 2+3=5
HP (with Matyr + Faith lv 10): 15788
SP: 1251

Stun time: 1.05 second
GC Damage (with +5 Double Andre Haedonggum): 8511(2837 x 3hit) - 12381(4127 x 3hit)
GC Cast time: 0.69 second
Stat effect equipment:
INT: Haedonggum (+3), Bazerald (+5), Earring (+2)
DEX: Zerom Glove (+4)
1 build for high damage, 1 build for high VIT, so here comes a build for high DEX. If u wants more damage, u can choose to put INT at 93 for 115 INT and lower DEX to 110. This build can cast GC within 0.7 second that his opponent will hardly escape.

Battle tips
PvP
- Use your Bash + GC combo well for low VIT enemy
- When there is a group of enemies, don’t simply rush at 1 or 2 and GC. That will only waste your HP and SP. Take some times to get the best spot and rush to the best spot and GC
- GC rox with bragi so go PvP with a clown in your party is good
- When enemy's clown is using bragi, you can charge to the bragi area and GC off many opponents but do watch around if there are champion or not. Think before you charge, if you see many SBK sin X/FA Sniper please don't charge(Thx to Jinnai)
WoE
-When attack:
-Rush till emperium and GC to assist guild members in breaking emperium
-But before u rush to emperium, u can GC enemy’s wizard so your members can rush inside even faster
-If u are GC/Shield type, remember to activate Auto Guard + Reflect Shield
-When defense:
-Switch to MDEF gear to totally decrease your GC feedback damage. You have no reason to use DEF gear since your position is under wizard’s magic and nobody going to aim at you
-To make use of the area of GC, stand on center of the walking path so your GC can hit enemy on your left, right, front and back

This build will focus on Sacrifice too but the speed will be decent, player will nid to use mastela as a replacement to white pots with such a low weights limitation. It function about the same with pure sacrifice build but will be more agressive toward it's enemy. Consume only mastela cos ur str is pathetically low for white pots.

Pro: u Sac with fair damage and high speed, for now it's roughly 200-1000 damage per sac if u using trident and 700-2000 damage if u using 3 hydra 1 skel main gauche. When new sacrifice formula implement, with 3 hydra trident u can deal at least 2k-4.3k damage depends on enemy eq and 2.7k-5k when using 3 hydra 1 skel.
Con: Cant kill GR, less shield skill, not really suitable for current patch, consume only mastela cos ur str is pathetically low for white pots.
*I made this build n test in a private server where the sacrifice formula work properly(after tested with my current paladin build, the sac in private work the same n deal same damage)
U can find screenie here showing the new formula using 3 hydra - http://img259.echo.cx/img259/1339/screeneva0052ed.jpg

This build must tag with Angeling Armor due to the lack of vit. The build allows player to cast GC at 0.8sec with zerom glove and cast GC at 1sec without zerom glove. Players are able to choose either 120int or 125int build by replacing the accesories. The main point of the build is to cast fast and don't allow enemy to escape from the GC thus able to cast 2nd wave fast to finish off the opponent.

This is a build where u will cast GC at the speed of 1.2sec, u able to cast better damage and also having higher vit. The build are for those who cant afford an angeling, or wish to have more hp even they using angeling card. It can be a very handy expecially for killing enemy around emperium during woe, but performance in pvp might not be as good compare to high dex GC paladin as it might let enemy to run off b4 the cast is complete. It's advised to cast the GC when ur partner is parrying with enemy so u will able to assist in the killing.

This build will focus on Sacrifice too but the speed will be decent, player will nid to use mastela as a replacement to white pots with such a low weights limitation. It function about the same with pure sacrifice build but will be more agressive toward it's enemy. Consume only mastela cos ur str is pathetically low for white pots.

Pro: u Sac with fair damage and high speed, for now it's roughly 200-1000 damage per sac if u using trident and 700-2000 damage if u using 3 hydra 1 skel main gauche. When new sacrifice formula implement, with 3 hydra trident u can deal at least 2k-4.3k damage depends on enemy eq and 2.7k-5k when using 3 hydra 1 skel.
Con: Cant kill GR, less shield skill, not really suitable for current patch, consume only mastela cos ur str is pathetically low for white pots.
*I made this build n test in a private server where the sacrifice formula work properly(after tested with my current paladin build, the sac in private work the same n deal same damage)
U can find screenie here showing the new formula using 3 hydra - http://img259.echo.cx/img259/1339/screeneva0052ed.jpg

This build must tag with Angeling Armor due to the lack of vit. The build allows player to cast GC at 0.8sec with zerom glove and cast GC at 1sec without zerom glove. Players are able to choose either 120int or 125int build by replacing the accesories. The main point of the build is to cast fast and don't allow enemy to escape from the GC thus able to cast 2nd wave fast to finish off the opponent.

This is a build where u will cast GC at the speed of 1.2sec, u able to cast better damage and also having higher vit. The build are for those who cant afford an angeling, or wish to have more hp even they using angeling card. It can be a very handy expecially for killing enemy around emperium during woe, but performance in pvp might not be as good compare to high dex GC paladin as it might let enemy to run off b4 the cast is complete. It's advised to cast the GC when ur partner is parrying with enemy so u will able to assist in the killing.

~Why Lord Knight?~
Lord Knight is meant for fighting in melee combat with the enemy/enemies. They are meant to do more damage with physical attacks than any other class in the game, while being able to take the most damage. If you like being the type to charge in taking on multiple enemies by yourself, then be a Lord Knight.
The Lord Knight is the final evolution of the Swordsman. The Lord Knight is now a master of weapons with a special affinity for Two-handed Swords and Spears. A Lord Knight has formidable attack strength and can crush an opponent's defense with ease.The Lord Knight's skills are a good balance of offense and defense. Their ability to go Berserk unleashes massive damage while in a state of frenzy. A number of defensive skills complement the Lord Knight's combat mastery.
~Training to be an LK~
I think the best way to be an LK from a novice is to train an AGI/Crit or Hybrid Knight (afterall, the stats and skills would be reset if you change to Novice High). Then, after changing to a Novice High, do invest in:
DEX>STR>VIT
Why? Because you'll be needing more points on those stats. Lesser priorities are AGI,INT and LUK. (Hybrid in stats LK, don't get mad....).
~Swordsman Skills ~

Lv. 8 Sword Damage + 32
Lv. 9 Sword Damage + 36
Lv. 10 Sword Damage + 40
Comments: For 2HS LK, do invest a skill point here.(pre req.). but for those who want SP as a LK, don't add any.
Two Handed Sword Mastery (Passive)
Increases the attack power of two handed swords.
Prerequisites - Level 1 One Handed Sword Mastery
Lv. 1 Sword Damage + 4
Lv. 2 Sword Damage + 8
Lv. 3 Sword Damage + 12

Lv. 5 Sword Damage + 20
Lv. 6 Sword Damage + 24
Lv. 7 Sword Damage+ 28
Lv. 8 Sword Damage + 32
Lv. 9 Sword Damage + 36
Lv. 10 Sword Damage + 40
Comments: For 2HS LK, make it at 10. Well, Unless you have Executioner, and the sole purpose of your RO career is PvP, don't add any. Executioner already ignores def (for a penalty.. .)
Bash
Bash enables you to do a large amount of damage in a single attack against an enemy. The amount of SP used in this skill also increases as the Skill level increases.
Lv. 1 Damage : 130 % SP - 8
Lv. 2 Damage : 160 % SP - 8
Lv. 3 Damage : 190 % SP - 8
Lv. 4 Damage : 220 % SP - 8
Lv. 5 Damage : 250 % SP - 8
Lv. 6 Damage : 280 % SP - 15

Lv. 8 155% Target / 105% Splash
Lv. 9 160% Target / 110% Splash
Lv. 10 165% Target / 115% Splash
Comments: For some LK, this skill is only to get other skills, but sometimes can be useful. For 2HS LK who choose parrying than wearing a crainial shield, magnum break can be used in dealing mass status abnormalites. Quite a show-off in WoE. Reveals hiding characters IF hit.
Provoke (Active)

Comments: Yes, you read it right! It now deals twice the damage. Imagine BB w/ 130 str and Executioner....= Scary damage!~Nice skill to spam, so quite amount of dex is good. It even gives splash damage to others bumped by the target. If you prefer WoE, then I suggest get this skill at 10. With the current patch, it deals x2 damage (take a better look at the damage you make). Plus they don't repel away in WoE.

Lord Knight Skills
Parry
Mastered at: Level 10
Requirement: Level 10 Two-hand Sword Mastery, Level 5 Provoke, and Level 3 Two-hand Quicken
Description: Blocks an enemy attack using a Two-handed Sword.
Comment: Nice skill to block other deadly skills like Extremity Fist, Sacrifice, etc. With this skill, somehow 2HS LKs compensated the loss of Crainial Shields. At max level, it can block at 55% with a duration of 1 minute. Requires 50 sp to cast at level 10.
Vital Strike
Mastered at: Level 10
Requirement: Level 9 Spear Mastery, Level 1 Pecopeco Riding, Level 3 Cavalier Mastery, and Level 3 Traumatic Blow
Description: Requires a Spear weapon. This attack has a great chance of inflicting random status effects on its target. Skill level affects the attack strength and the rate of success.
Comment: Why toy with you food that you're going to own in few seconds?
Berserk
Mastered at: Level 1
Requirement: Job Level 50 Lord Knight
Description: Berserk greatly increases the Lord Knight’s maximum HP, moving speed, ASPD (attack speed) and attack strength for skill's duration. However, this skill decreases the flee rate (FLEE) and defense (DEF) of the caster at the same time. Also, while in a state of frenzy, the Knight Lord's actions are limited to attacking and moving—he will be unable to use any items and can neither be healed nor buffed by other characters. This skill consumes a certain amount of HP per second. Berserk can be used in guild war areas.
Comment: Berserk is like a double edged sword. In some point, it is good. You get atk bonus, aspd, max hp. However, your HP is drained at a quite fast rate too. Your DEF and MDEF is 0, your FLEE is halved. You can't be healed and unable to use items. You can't switch weapon. and you can't even speak...even to beg "don't hit me..." when your hp is at red zone. This skill can be very useful IF you got a Paladin/Crusader cast devotion to you and a High Priest to heal the paladin/crusader.
If you plan to use 2HS because you want to reach 190 aspd, you can reach it EVEN w/ 1 AGI.
agi1 + 2handquicken + berserk potion + berserk = 190 aspd.
Tension Relax
Mastered at: Level 1
Requirement: Level 5 Provoke, Level 10 Improved HP Recovery, and Level 3 Endure
Description: Increases the speed of HP recovery while sitting. Tension Relax is immediately cancelled when the Lord Knight stands or moves.
Comment:Get it if you have some extra skill point, but I don't think it's worth a skill point.
Spiral Pierce
Mastered at: Level 5
Requirement: Level 10 Spear Mastery, Level 5 Pierce, Level 1 Pecopeco Riding, and Level 5 Spear Stab
Description: Deliver multiple spiral-like attacks to an enemy. When hit, the enemy is frozen for a second. Skill level affects casting time and damage. However, the skill’s damage is factored upon the spear’s weight more than anything else.
Comment: Max this skill. This skill gives LK an edge. This skill ignores def and hits for quite neat damage. The best weapon for thisskill is Poleaxe[1]. compound w/ damage card and golem card against WS.
Aura Blade
Mastered at: Level 5
Requirement: Level 5 Bash, Level 5 Magnum Break, and Level 5 Two-hand Sword Mastery
Description: Enchants the Lord Knight’s weapon with a magical aura that increases weapon damage. This damage is not affected by the accuracy rate of the Lord Knight or the defense of the target.
Comment:If you're going to SP, don't bother precasting this skill. SP ignores def already,so it won't add damage. Same for those using Executioner in PvP.. However, it adds damage to other skills, just like masteries.
Traumatic Blow
Mastered at: Level5
Requirement: Level 9 Spear Mastery, Level 1 Pecopeco Riding
Description: A powerful strike that has a chance of causing the Bleeding status to a target. Bleeding is similar to Poison however no item or magic (Royal Jelly, Cure, Slow Poison, Status Recovery, etc.) will cure it. The victim’s HP will drain until the "bleeding" ends.
VIT and LUK reduce the chance and duration of Bleeding.
Comment: External bleeding on other servers...i think it's not that useful. imagine trying to use this skill while other use SP/SD, etc....
Works like poison but cannot be cured by royal jellies.
Concentration
Mastered at: Level 5
Requirement: Level 5 Spear Mastery, Level 1 Pecopeco Riding, and Level 5 Improved HP Recovery
Description: This skill greatly increases the Lord Knight’s accuracy and damage. But there’s a catch - it reduces the character’s defense for the duration of the spell.
Comment: Reduces Armor def....nice boost in hit and attk though..
~Stats~
I posted my ideal LK build here before, well I won't make it like lecture. Just plan your builts well.
Strength (STR) - Very useful for LKs. It increases Min/Max damage, extra weight limit for carrying items. keep it at a close number of 10 multiples. (10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100,110,120,130). For 2HS Lks, do make it at 120 (130/w bless). For SP LKs, around 60-80 would be good as other stats like dex and vit must be raised too.
Vitality (VIT) - Very important stat for LK. LKs are knowned to have insane amount of HP. Also, this stat reduces the damage you take, the chance/duration of status abnormalities, def. I recommend to invest above 50 here.
Agility (AGI) - This stat raises your ability to dodge attacks from enemies, while slightly raising your attack speed. 2HS LK may want to invest here a little to boost attack speed and abuse the 2HQ skill, + parrying. However, if you just want to reach aspd to 190, it is possible to reach that even with 1 agi.
berserk + 2HQ + berserk potion = 190 aspd
Dexterity (DEX) - Another stat for LK. This is great when spamming skills like SP, BB and BS. Most SP LK may want to invest around 100 here to reduce casting delay of SP and to lessen the chance of being stripped.
Luck (LUK) - Max damage (every 5), Critical Rate (every 3), perfect dodge rate (every 10)
Intelligence (INT) - MDEF and small boost in MaxSP and SP recovery. In multiples of 6.
2HS LK (non crit, will add some crit built soon)
Str - 100- 120, 120 suggested (130 w/bless)
Agi - 70-80
Vit - 50 - 70
Dex - 40 - 60
Int – multiples of 6s
Luk – 1
SP LKs
Str – multiples of 10s
Agi – 1
Vit – around 50 to 90 would be nice
Dex – 100 OR 110 OR 120
Int – multiples of 6s
Luk – 1
Note:
Its up to you to personalize your LKs build the way you want it, I posted my ideal stats for SP LK before and later realized that it is
too stiff. For example, if you want your LK to carry more items, then make it DEX>STR>VIT. Or if you think the weight limit is enough,
go DEX>VIT>STR.
~Spoon fed built~
Heard it right... (anyway, some other are spoon feeding their guide too... my opinion...)
SP lord Knight w/ Poleaxe
Str 82
dex 92
vit 67
rest to int
PX, 2 nimble glove. others can be customized
Don't have PX, it's OK....don't sleep or it will not rain bears...lolz
str 83
dex 93
vit 62
rest in int...waste 2 points put in agi or luk...agi will make exact 149 aspd, besides aspd for SP Lk? nah..
2 nimble glove, others can be customized
SP cast delay = 0.26 sec, difference in HP noted.
2HS LK (Hybrid)/ExE
STR 95

oh...too expensive...a cheaper version..(i hope someday go face a mirror before :shutup.gif: )
2HS LK (Hybrid, cheap)
STR 99
AGI 75
Dex 31
Vit 54
no waste points
equips
2 BoM, others can be customized.
+10 2x hydra 2x skel worker katana
2HS LK (Crit built)

agi 83+11
vit 52+8
int 1+2
dex 31+9
luk 51+3
equips
2BoC,matyr boots, others can be customized.
However, the one w/ exe is better... 1st Bypass raydric, hits GR. 2nd. Ignore def. and can BB insanely.
Using 2HS is better against champs/monk. Parrying can save you, while SP LK most probably die, or berserk run away or Hide EF.
~Equipment~
Weapons
SP LK
Many people thinks that double bloody double boned pike is the best spear. That is true when you are dealing physical, non-ignore def damage (and str at 120 or 130). For a SP LK, the ultimate waepon is an over-upgraded poleaxe. If you get lucky to have 2 poleaxe, get a Bloody one and a Golem Compounded. In that way you won't be running away from Whitesmiths. Stalkers are still a problem, so when you see one... do stun/silence/freeze/sleep them and spam SP as much as you can, or just uneqip your weapon and stun bash him until he get stunned.. Anyway, if you don't have a poleaxe, a +10 Pike will still do. I won't suggest 2 Bloody Halberd, but if you want to be more offensive but don't have PX, then it's up to you. I still suggest +10 Pike[4] with 3 HYDRA and 1 Skel Worker. The damage is higher IF you would SP. 3x Hydra 1 SW is better than 2hydra 2 SW if the skill ignores def. With around 100 dex, spamming SP w/ +10pike3hydra1sw is still deadly.
2HS LK
Usually, 2HS LKs are berserkers (i think there's no reason not to get it...even my SP has berserk, to make it flexible.).
W/120(130w/bless) str Lk, +10 2hydra2sw Katana is the best weapon. if you think you crit most of the time, arounf 60%, do get 3hydra1sw. If you want to crit and be a show-off... Muramasa would fit you. Just bring some Holy waters or Royal Jelly to eat. A +10 Bastard Sword w/ 3 SS cards would be good if you hate being cursed by muramasa.
For PvP, the best weapon is Executioner.... Good Luck on having one.
Other useful weapons
quad status carded waepons... however, I do suggest that you compound them in other weapon...example...say you have +103hydra1sw pike, do place the other status abnormality cards in spear[4] or javelin[4] pressing the same weapon slot, and not getting the status you need at the right time can be bad in pvp.
Headgears
Over ups Helm[1] or just Poo poo hat. Slot up cards in the helm, but I recommend Poo poo in pvp.
Shields
Cranial Shield or Mirror Shield. I would prefer mirror shields here. As most skills ignore def in pvp.
Garment
Over upgraded mantues.Raydric
Cloaking for fun... btw, you can use skills right away when cloaking... imagine SP / BB. shock!~
Hood
(weigh less)of dustiness, jakk and mars (for SG). You can switch equip while frozen anyway
Armor
Full Plate or Silk Robe. Nowadays, most skill ignore def, so i think getting silk robe is much practical now in pvp.
NOTE: Deadly Armor (Evil Druid Armor)
Sometimes, it is more practical to use Evil Druid armor.
PROs
Never Frozen
Never Stone-Cursed
Never Provoked
Cons
Don't expect priest buffs or else...
A over up silkrobe (marc) and silkrobe (evil druid) is a must in pvp. the 10% bonus in HP would be a waste if you get frozen or stoned.
Footgear
Overupgraded s.boots. Matyr/Verit/Antique Firelock (if you are rich to get it +9 or 10)
Accessories
2 nimble gloves for sp LK or 1 nimble glove and a sight glove (if you are in a kill-all-class crave)
2 ROM for 2HS Lks or 1 ROM and 1 ROS (if you are in a kill-all-class crave)
If you are making crit 2HS Lk, and if your highest stat is LUK, then choose rosary slotted, re-distribute the stats to others to save stat points.
~General Strategy Tips in PvP.~
1. Skills to be active: Endure, ASPD potion, Parry(2hsLk). Sight
2. Be ready to switch equip when necessary. (When you spot sage/wiz, unfrozen or deadly)when you are late, just switch on the robes (dustiness, jakk, or mars..)
3. Alert on WS and Stalkers, even champs
4. Use status abnormalities well.
5. Bring lots of Mastela, Royal Jelly...lolz
~Against Players~
Note: This is based on my experience in PvP, if you want to be good in pvp, spend some time in pvp mode. After all, players are better than monsters.
(they even know how to flame in forums.... 101 lolz, i won't let you beat me :shutup.gif: lolz ./heh)
Knights/Lord Knights
It depends on the skills they use, equips they have and the healling items they bought. And, whoever draws berserk faster kiss the floor sooner... ./gg. SP misses sometimes, so the scenario SP owns 2HS LK only happens if you forget to activate "parrying" when you go berserk. Or the SP LK eats lots of mastela.. well, depends on items you'er carrying and the equipments you have.
Crusaders/Paladins
Quite hard, since they got Reflect Shield and they take less damage from SP(Defender). Wait for them to cast sacrifice and give your best shot. Don't be afraid to take reflected damage... LK have greater HP than CRU/PALA...if you think you're eating lots of mastela, well the cru/pala eats more.. The reflected damage is less than the inflicted damage. When they sac, it consumes HP, so continually hit the target till he dies... he can even die in his/her own Sacrifice (./heh). In otherwords, who gets scared first lose.
Blacksmiths/Whitesmiths
Hard when they break your equips. SP LKs do stand a better chance w/ golem carded PX. As much as you can, try hit and run.. Anyway, if they can't hit you, they can't break the weapon. Anyway, to be sure, unequip your other equips and leave a golem carded weapon then kill... or later on, equip back.. most of the time, he'll never use it again after using it.
Spear Boom w/ status effect weapons..(my best pick is drowsy and silence, since most anticipated effects are stun, and freeze.).when the target got affected, go SP and switch back. Cursing the BS/WS is also nice...lowers walking speed...lolz
Assassins/SinX
Be sure to activate sight. For SD types, they will run after they got a taste of SP/(BB w/ Exe)...For EDP types, immobilize them and go for the kill. or if yo get BB, be sure to use CA a lot, EDP sin x rely on crits, CA can save you.. Give them external bleeding too... most sinx i played w/ in pvp panic when they get external bleeding.
Rouge/Stalker
Hit and run tactics works well with them. Unequip your weapon and go stun bash. Then spam your skills. for 2HS LK, you can simply bash w/ exe, if the target get stunned even for a sec, spam more.. ./gg. When they tunnel drive, go near and magnum break. add w/ concentration 5 to hit and reveal stalker.
Alchemist/Creators
Spam skills, as they eat slim pots. Watch out for AD
Wizard/High Wizard/Sage/Professor
Be sure to switch the right equips for the right spell. They should go down easily once you get close w/them.
Priest/High Priest
Hard if you can't out damage heal. if the h.priest has max hp lower than 10k, then he can be killed by spamming skills.
Monks/Champions
Hard...because of EF. The only chance to survive one EF is to Berserk, or if you are a 2HS LK w/ parrying active, it can save you if you get lucky... When they unleash EF, kill them ASAP. and get a hold of hide accessory, hide..
Hunters/Snipers
They are not much of a threat, just have a quad ancient weapon to counter their high flee (wind walk).

~Why Lord Knight?~
Lord Knight is meant for fighting in melee combat with the enemy/enemies. They are meant to do more damage with physical attacks than any other class in the game, while being able to take the most damage. If you like being the type to charge in taking on multiple enemies by yourself, then be a Lord Knight.
The Lord Knight is the final evolution of the Swordsman. The Lord Knight is now a master of weapons with a special affinity for Two-handed Swords and Spears. A Lord Knight has formidable attack strength and can crush an opponent's defense with ease.The Lord Knight's skills are a good balance of offense and defense. Their ability to go Berserk unleashes massive damage while in a state of frenzy. A number of defensive skills complement the Lord Knight's combat mastery.
~Training to be an LK~
I think the best way to be an LK from a novice is to train an AGI/Crit or Hybrid Knight (afterall, the stats and skills would be reset if you change to Novice High). Then, after changing to a Novice High, do invest in:
DEX>STR>VIT
Why? Because you'll be needing more points on those stats. Lesser priorities are AGI,INT and LUK. (Hybrid in stats LK, don't get mad....).
~Swordsman Skills ~

Comments: For 2HS LK, make it at 10. Well, Unless you have Executioner, and the sole purpose of your RO career is PvP, don't add any. Executioner already ignores def (for a penalty.. .)
Bash
Bash enables you to do a large amount of damage in a single attack against an enemy. The amount of SP used in this skill also increases as the Skill level increases.

Comments: For some LK, this skill is only to get other skills, but sometimes can be useful. For 2HS LK who choose parrying than wearing a crainial shield, magnum break can be used in dealing mass status abnormalites. Quite a show-off in WoE. Reveals hiding characters IF hit.

It even gives splash damage to others bumped by the target. If you prefer WoE, then I suggest get this skill at 10. With the current patch, it deals x2 damage (take a better look at the damage you make). Plus they don't repel away in WoE.

Lord Knight Skills
Parry
Mastered at: Level 10
Requirement: Level 10 Two-hand Sword Mastery, Level 5 Provoke, and Level 3 Two-hand Quicken
Description: Blocks an enemy attack using a Two-handed Sword.
Comment: Nice skill to block other deadly skills like Extremity Fist, Sacrifice, etc. With this skill, somehow 2HS LKs compensated the loss of Crainial Shields. At max level, it can block at 55% with a duration of 1 minute. Requires 50 sp to cast at level 10.
Vital Strike
Mastered at: Level 10
Requirement: Level 9 Spear Mastery, Level 1 Pecopeco Riding, Level 3 Cavalier Mastery, and Level 3 Traumatic Blow
Description: Requires a Spear weapon. This attack has a great chance of inflicting random status effects on its target. Skill level affects the attack strength and the rate of success.
Comment: Why toy with you food that you're going to own in few seconds?
Berserk
Mastered at: Level 1
Requirement: Job Level 50 Lord Knight
Description: Berserk greatly increases the Lord Knight’s maximum HP, moving speed, ASPD (attack speed) and attack strength for skill's duration. However, this skill decreases the flee rate (FLEE) and defense (DEF) of the caster at the same time. Also, while in a state of frenzy, the Knight Lord's actions are limited to attacking and moving—he will be unable to use any items and can neither be healed nor buffed by other characters. This skill consumes a certain amount of HP per second. Berserk can be used in guild war areas.
Comment: Berserk is like a double edged sword. In some point, it is good. You get atk bonus, aspd, max hp. However, your HP is drained at a quite fast rate too. Your DEF and MDEF is 0, your FLEE is halved. You can't be healed and unable to use items. You can't switch weapon. and you can't even speak...even to beg "don't hit me..." when your hp is at red zone. This skill can be very useful IF you got a Paladin/Crusader cast devotion to you and a High Priest to heal the paladin/crusader.
If you plan to use 2HS because you want to reach 190 aspd, you can reach it EVEN w/ 1 AGI.
agi1 + 2handquicken + berserk potion + berserk = 190 aspd.
Tension Relax
Mastered at: Level 1
Requirement: Level 5 Provoke, Level 10 Improved HP Recovery, and Level 3 Endure
Description: Increases the speed of HP recovery while sitting. Tension Relax is immediately cancelled when the Lord Knight stands or moves.
Comment:Get it if you have some extra skill point, but I don't think it's worth a skill point.
Spiral Pierce
Mastered at: Level 5
Requirement: Level 10 Spear Mastery, Level 5 Pierce, Level 1 Pecopeco Riding, and Level 5 Spear Stab
Description: Deliver multiple spiral-like attacks to an enemy. When hit, the enemy is frozen for a second. Skill level affects casting time and damage. However, the skill’s damage is factored upon the spear’s weight more than anything else.
Comment: Max this skill. This skill gives LK an edge. This skill ignores def and hits for quite neat damage. The best weapon for thisskill is Poleaxe[1]. compound w/ damage card and golem card against WS.
Aura Blade
Mastered at: Level 5
Requirement: Level 5 Bash, Level 5 Magnum Break, and Level 5 Two-hand Sword Mastery
Description: Enchants the Lord Knight’s weapon with a magical aura that increases weapon damage. This damage is not affected by the accuracy rate of the Lord Knight or the defense of the target.
Comment:If you're going to SP, don't bother precasting this skill. SP ignores def already,so it won't add damage. Same for those using Executioner in PvP.. However, it adds damage to other skills, just like masteries.
Traumatic Blow
Mastered at: Level5
Requirement: Level 9 Spear Mastery, Level 1 Pecopeco Riding
Description: A powerful strike that has a chance of causing the Bleeding status to a target. Bleeding is similar to Poison however no item or magic (Royal Jelly, Cure, Slow Poison, Status Recovery, etc.) will cure it. The victim’s HP will drain until the "bleeding" ends.
VIT and LUK reduce the chance and duration of Bleeding.
Comment: External bleeding on other servers...i think it's not that useful. imagine trying to use this skill while other use SP/SD, etc....
Works like poison but cannot be cured by royal jellies.
Concentration
Mastered at: Level 5
Requirement: Level 5 Spear Mastery, Level 1 Pecopeco Riding, and Level 5 Improved HP Recovery
Description: This skill greatly increases the Lord Knight’s accuracy and damage. But there’s a catch - it reduces the character’s defense for the duration of the spell.
Comment: Reduces Armor def....nice boost in hit and attk though..
~Stats~
I posted my ideal LK build here before, well I won't make it like lecture. Just plan your builts well.
Strength (STR) - Very useful for LKs. It increases Min/Max damage, extra weight limit for carrying items. keep it at a close number of 10 multiples. (10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100,110,120,130). For 2HS Lks, do make it at 120 (130/w bless). For SP LKs, around 60-80 would be good as other stats like dex and vit must be raised too.
Vitality (VIT) - Very important stat for LK. LKs are knowned to have insane amount of HP. Also, this stat reduces the damage you take, the chance/duration of status abnormalities, def. I recommend to invest above 50 here.
Agility (AGI) - This stat raises your ability to dodge attacks from enemies, while slightly raising your attack speed. 2HS LK may want to invest here a little to boost attack speed and abuse the 2HQ skill, + parrying. However, if you just want to reach aspd to 190, it is possible to reach that even with 1 agi.
berserk + 2HQ + berserk potion = 190 aspd
Dexterity (DEX) - Another stat for LK. This is great when spamming skills like SP, BB and BS. Most SP LK may want to invest around 100 here to reduce casting delay of SP and to lessen the chance of being stripped.
Luck (LUK) - Max damage (every 5), Critical Rate (every 3), perfect dodge rate (every 10)
Intelligence (INT) - MDEF and small boost in MaxSP and SP recovery. In multiples of 6.
2HS LK (non crit, will add some crit built soon)
Str - 100- 120, 120 suggested (130 w/bless)
Agi - 70-80
Vit - 50 - 70
Dex - 40 - 60
Int – multiples of 6s
Luk – 1
SP LKs
Str – multiples of 10s
Agi – 1
Vit – around 50 to 90 would be nice
Dex – 100 OR 110 OR 120
Int – multiples of 6s
Luk – 1
Note:
Its up to you to personalize your LKs build the way you want it, I posted my ideal stats for SP LK before and later realized that it is
too stiff. For example, if you want your LK to carry more items, then make it DEX>STR>VIT. Or if you think the weight limit is enough,
go DEX>VIT>STR.
~Spoon fed built~
Heard it right... (anyway, some other are spoon feeding their guide too... my opinion...)
SP lord Knight w/ Poleaxe
Str 82
dex 92
vit 67
rest to int
PX, 2 nimble glove. others can be customized
Don't have PX, it's OK....don't sleep or it will not rain bears...lolz
str 83
dex 93
vit 62
rest in int...waste 2 points put in agi or luk...agi will make exact 149 aspd, besides aspd for SP Lk? nah..
2 nimble glove, others can be customized
SP cast delay = 0.26 sec, difference in HP noted.
2HS LK (Hybrid)/ExE
STR 95
Agi 73
Vit 62
int 1
dex 31
luk 1
equip
EXE, Firelock boots(+9), 2 RoM
oh...too expensive...a cheaper version..(i hope someday go face a mirror before :shutup.gif: )
2HS LK (Hybrid, cheap)
STR 99
AGI 75
Dex 31
Vit 54
no waste points
equips
2 BoM, others can be customized.
+10 2x hydra 2x skel worker katana
2HS LK (Crit built)
Str 73+17
agi 83+11
vit 52+8
int 1+2
dex 31+9
luk 51+3
equips
2BoC,matyr boots, others can be customized.
However, the one w/ exe is better... 1st Bypass raydric, hits GR. 2nd. Ignore def. and can BB insanely.
Using 2HS is better against champs/monk. Parrying can save you, while SP LK most probably die, or berserk run away or Hide EF.
~Equipment~
Weapons
SP LK
Many people thinks that double bloody double boned pike is the best spear. That is true when you are dealing physical, non-ignore def damage (and str at 120 or 130). For a SP LK, the ultimate waepon is an over-upgraded poleaxe. If you get lucky to have 2 poleaxe, get a Bloody one and a Golem Compounded. In that way you won't be running away from Whitesmiths. Stalkers are still a problem, so when you see one... do stun/silence/freeze/sleep them and spam SP as much as you can, or just uneqip your weapon and stun bash him until he get stunned.. Anyway, if you don't have a poleaxe, a +10 Pike will still do. I won't suggest 2 Bloody Halberd, but if you want to be more offensive but don't have PX, then it's up to you. I still suggest +10 Pike[4] with 3 HYDRA and 1 Skel Worker. The damage is higher IF you would SP. 3x Hydra 1 SW is better than 2hydra 2 SW if the skill ignores def. With around 100 dex, spamming SP w/ +10pike3hydra1sw is still deadly.
2HS LK
Usually, 2HS LKs are berserkers (i think there's no reason not to get it...even my SP has berserk, to make it flexible.).
W/120(130w/bless) str Lk, +10 2hydra2sw Katana is the best weapon. if you think you crit most of the time, arounf 60%, do get 3hydra1sw. If you want to crit and be a show-off... Muramasa would fit you. Just bring some Holy waters or Royal Jelly to eat. A +10 Bastard Sword w/ 3 SS cards would be good if you hate being cursed by muramasa.
For PvP, the best weapon is Executioner.... Good Luck on having one.
Other useful weapons
quad status carded waepons... however, I do suggest that you compound them in other weapon...example...say you have +103hydra1sw pike, do place the other status abnormality cards in spear[4] or javelin[4] pressing the same weapon slot, and not getting the status you need at the right time can be bad in pvp.
Headgears
Over ups Helm[1] or just Poo poo hat. Slot up cards in the helm, but I recommend Poo poo in pvp.
Shields
Cranial Shield or Mirror Shield. I would prefer mirror shields here. As most skills ignore def in pvp.
Garment
Over upgraded mantues.Raydric
Cloaking for fun... btw, you can use skills right away when cloaking... imagine SP / BB. shock!~
Hood
(weigh less)of dustiness, jakk and mars (for SG). You can switch equip while frozen anyway
Armor
Full Plate or Silk Robe. Nowadays, most skill ignore def, so i think getting silk robe is much practical now in pvp.
NOTE: Deadly Armor (Evil Druid Armor)
Sometimes, it is more practical to use Evil Druid armor.
PROs
Never Frozen
Never Stone-Cursed
Never Provoked
Cons
Don't expect priest buffs or else...
A over up silkrobe (marc) and silkrobe (evil druid) is a must in pvp. the 10% bonus in HP would be a waste if you get frozen or stoned.
Footgear
Overupgraded s.boots. Matyr/Verit/Antique Firelock (if you are rich to get it +9 or 10)
Accessories
2 nimble gloves for sp LK or 1 nimble glove and a sight glove (if you are in a kill-all-class crave)
2 ROM for 2HS Lks or 1 ROM and 1 ROS (if you are in a kill-all-class crave)
If you are making crit 2HS Lk, and if your highest stat is LUK, then choose rosary slotted, re-distribute the stats to others to save stat points.
~General Strategy Tips in PvP.~
1. Skills to be active: Endure, ASPD potion, Parry(2hsLk). Sight
2. Be ready to switch equip when necessary. (When you spot sage/wiz, unfrozen or deadly)when you are late, just switch on the robes (dustiness, jakk, or mars..)
3. Alert on WS and Stalkers, even champs
4. Use status abnormalities well.
5. Bring lots of Mastela, Royal Jelly...lolz
~Against Players~
Note: This is based on my experience in PvP, if you want to be good in pvp, spend some time in pvp mode. After all, players are better than monsters.
(they even know how to flame in forums.... 101 lolz, i won't let you beat me :shutup.gif: lolz ./heh)
Knights/Lord Knights
It depends on the skills they use, equips they have and the healling items they bought. And, whoever draws berserk faster kiss the floor sooner... ./gg. SP misses sometimes, so the scenario SP owns 2HS LK only happens if you forget to activate "parrying" when you go berserk. Or the SP LK eats lots of mastela.. well, depends on items you'er carrying and the equipments you have.
Crusaders/Paladins
Quite hard, since they got Reflect Shield and they take less damage from SP(Defender). Wait for them to cast sacrifice and give your best shot. Don't be afraid to take reflected damage... LK have greater HP than CRU/PALA...if you think you're eating lots of mastela, well the cru/pala eats more.. The reflected damage is less than the inflicted damage. When they sac, it consumes HP, so continually hit the target till he dies... he can even die in his/her own Sacrifice (./heh). In otherwords, who gets scared first lose.
Blacksmiths/Whitesmiths
Hard when they break your equips. SP LKs do stand a better chance w/ golem carded PX. As much as you can, try hit and run.. Anyway, if they can't hit you, they can't break the weapon. Anyway, to be sure, unequip your other equips and leave a golem carded weapon then kill... or later on, equip back.. most of the time, he'll never use it again after using it.
Spear Boom w/ status effect weapons..(my best pick is drowsy and silence, since most anticipated effects are stun, and freeze.).when the target got affected, go SP and switch back. Cursing the BS/WS is also nice...lowers walking speed...lolz
Assassins/SinX
Be sure to activate sight. For SD types, they will run after they got a taste of SP/(BB w/ Exe)...For EDP types, immobilize them and go for the kill. or if yo get BB, be sure to use CA a lot, EDP sin x rely on crits, CA can save you.. Give them external bleeding too... most sinx i played w/ in pvp panic when they get external bleeding.
Rouge/Stalker
Hit and run tactics works well with them. Unequip your weapon and go stun bash. Then spam your skills. for 2HS LK, you can simply bash w/ exe, if the target get stunned even for a sec, spam more.. ./gg. When they tunnel drive, go near and magnum break. add w/ concentration 5 to hit and reveal stalker.
Alchemist/Creators
Spam skills, as they eat slim pots. Watch out for AD
Wizard/High Wizard/Sage/Professor
Be sure to switch the right equips for the right spell. They should go down easily once you get close w/them.
Priest/High Priest
Hard if you can't out damage heal. if the h.priest has max hp lower than 10k, then he can be killed by spamming skills.
Monks/Champions
Hard...because of EF. The only chance to survive one EF is to Berserk, or if you are a 2HS LK w/ parrying active, it can save you if you get lucky... When they unleash EF, kill them ASAP. and get a hold of hide accessory, hide..
Hunters/Snipers
They are not much of a threat, just have a quad ancient weapon to counter their high flee (wind walk).
