AH, GUYZ. I'm a level 16 mercenary and planning to be a knight. is this build ok???

str: 21
sta:33
dex:21
int: 15

i'm going to max my dex to 28 and my strength to 50. then the rest to stamina. can you give me advices??:)

You don't need dex at all, because you'll be spamming splmash and keenwheel the whole time, and at higher levels you'll wish you had more stam so that you could kill monsters that are higher levels than you due to the small exp.

if you go for dex yuoll be a mage

If you go through guides and comments, there's always the same idea: Knights don't "need" dex. However, as this makes levelling difficult, some people suggest raising your dex a bit (max 30), but even those say that in the end it's probably not worth it. I still think it's ok; makes hitting things easier if you don't use a skill and don't have a ringmaster backing you up.

My own lvl 46 merc-future-knight doesn't have any dex, but he'll be using a dex+4 ring (or +5, don't know... I think the ring says +4 but adds +5) soon :-)
It came out of a giant, but it's still stashed on Telyia.

He might have too much strength for my taste already (it was my first char...), so for the foreseeable future I'll only raise sta. Not playing him a lot, though :-(

Along the same lines, he's currently using a sword, whereas many people seem to prefer axes on knights. He doesn't even have sword mastery yet... so I guess I'll try to raise them both (I *do* have the lvl 45 sword *and* axe). Newbie char... I had the lvl 30 sword, so that's what I used .-)

1 handed swords are faster to level with as a merc, but 2 handed axes are faster to level with as a AOE Knight.

I myself have both Sword and Axe Mastery so I have both skills.

well here you can have a few options for a knight build

1 sta based (the tank)

go full sta with 40-45 str (for a nice dmg) here you can take more str or less but don't go under 30 >.> )
Dex is 15 and will always be 15 for a knight they are a waste of points >.>

2. the dmg dealing build

its the same but the other way arround 40 sta and rest str
you won't be able to AoE but you'll killfast with a huge dmg


thats a knight for me. if you use dex u'll be wasting points >.>

Pretty interested how the 40 sta and rest str build works.
Probably jam more potions than dex build...
Str is a very weak stat in my opinion.. 1 str gives very little damage boost..
But yeah. Interested what will happen if you decide to go pure str.
