Thanks to Razorwire on the Silky Venom forums we have a transcript of the Dread Knight class description from the charactor creator:

....Well....Im in love.

In a strictly non-sexual way of course...

Hmm I will be curious to see that dread power in action. I hope its not nerfed on boss mobs like many abilities were in EQI.

Awesome

Glad someone nabbed that description. The Dread Knight sounds amazing so far.

Maybe im just being biased. But I think a DK is going to be that one character everyone is gonna be lookin for when it comes to recruiting, or raids no matter the size. When i played WoW and EQ2, it seemed everyone was always lookin for a healer. But in VSoH i think everyone will be lookin for a DK to join up...dont know why, just have that feelin...anyone else get what im trying to say?

Love,

Raven

I don't think people will go too overboard, raiding-wise. I see it as more of akin to the desire for brigands in EQ2. Gotta have 1 or 2, but after that it's /shrug. Hopefully, the secondary skills/abilities of the other tanks make them equally as desirable.

Thats my point, im sure practically everygroup will want at LEAST one DK up in their group. I wasnt talkin about 20 DKs rollin together.......altought that does bring ideas to my head which are just great. But yeah, im sure everygroup will want at least one DK rollin with them.

Love,

Raven

Until they come out with more info, based on what little I have read, I think that unless there is a mob type we are also good against. We will fill more of a secendary tank role one raids for debuffing and CC.

When it comes to debuffing only one DK may be useful on a raid but our CC ability may make more then one DK wanted.

More or less same thing goes for group to a lesser degree. Unless they make us either pretty resistant to somthing the other tanks are not resistant to or make us better against some brand of mob, I see a secondary role for us.

Of course this is all guess work from limited info about the DK.

Who knows, they could be holding back info just cause we are soooo damn cool!

Yeah, I'm not sure what I was getting at.
