Clouded Horizons:Dark Knight

Dark Knight is an Extended Class in the Eighth Realm specializing in Dark-elemental skills and brutal attacks in combat.

Overview

The dark knight is a melee class that acts as the offense-oriented reflection of the Paladin, trading high defense and holy-affinity for a blistering offense and dark-affinity. It specializes in the use of already damaging two-handed weaponry, and often trades away its stamina for an even greater punch. Although it has access to heavy armor and respectable defense, its lack of any significant damage reduction and the extraordinary threat it accrues guarantees that, without support, it won't stand long under pressure.
