Hmm am I alone in wanting to cause fear and despair? Or are just too many folks undecided?

I think it's just the lack of information about Dread Knights that is keeping people from talking about them much.

I'm hoping that we'll see some information about them soon.

me too. The Dark Elf in me finally won out. and I will most definately be playin a DK come release. until then it just sit and wait for beta app to be approved so i can see how they pieced everything together, what the combat style is like. and how reaction tanking is truly going to work. Hopefully i'll be able to feedback some useful things to brad and the rest of the folks up at Sigil if i can get in.

Inquisitor...


I really like the Dread Knight concept though.

I sure would love to get information on the DK's spell types. Hopefully they are oriented to intense combat. Very high attack/debuff ability for a short time. Consequently the DK should not be able to stay at that "level" forever without some kind of "recharge"

I think we're all crying out for more details about how combat works for all classes to be honest. We've had generalities but no real specifics and, to be honest, I'd be happy to see some by the end of the year but I am not overly optimistic :?

This is purely speculation, but I don't believe shadowknights will be dishing out extremely high damage. From the way they have been presenting the class as, "a warrior who inspires fear in his enemies," it seems the class will rely more on debuffing and other fear abilities.

I'm expecting alot of abilities that 'cripple' an opponent with terror. I think the Dread Knight might not be able to hold aggro as strongly as a warrior, but when the target bounces around, that he will have sufficiently weakened the mob through fear and other deteriorating abilities that the damage to the other members of the group will be manageable. And like QuinnDexter said, "Very high attack/debuff ability for a short time," sounds promising.

From the reports by the designers (Though they are extremely vague) I'm expecting many new views on the concept of tanking and playing any class in general.

Hate, discontent, fear and just plain out pain is what I'm all about.
