Well I was going to play a K/P combo, but I've read around that priest is a bad choice for knights because their skills share the same mana pool, and they are by far the slowest killers (and slowest at leveling) in the game. So I'm rerolling and going Knight/Rogue.

They are insanely slow at killing stuff. Not every class is built for killing, both Knight and Priest are supporting classes, Knight tanks, Priest heals. Rogues do good DPS, but are kinda squishy. If you want survivability along with decent DPS go for Warrior/Knight or something.

what is considered a high ammount of gold in this game?
is it like WoW where like 50k is a lot or is like 50m a lot or what?


I would say 1M Gold + is a " lot " you can obtain a few hundred thousand just by gathering daily, so yeah. A million is an amount you'd have to save for a few days after some hard work.

Rogues may have less defense and HP to offer than a warrior secondary, but there are a number of advantages.

-Dodge and evasion.
-Dual-wield. Knight's blocking passive applies ALL the time, not just to shields. I'm still going to have a shield for tanking, but for soloing (which I'll be doing often), this will help with DPS and survival. Dual-wield also stacks Holy Seal on mobs at an incredible rate.
-Blind stab. Makes it even harder for an enemy to hit you.
-Energy regenerates much faster than Rage, and spends less per skill.

So yeah, while the Rogue doesn't bring as much HP or Defense to the table, the fact that their skills make any class so much harder to hit negates the need for that. Less HP and Defense, but you don't get hit nearly as often, so it balances out. And Energy is a lot more spam-friendly than Rage (and helps in conserving mana for less down time).

I dunno, I think Rogue wins out here as a secondary.

*Shrug* If you want to, that's fine. I've seen tons of Rogue/Knights, and they do just fine, it all depends on your play style.

Artemis PvE and Grimdal PvP

I play both, but I'd say more people play Artemis.

Are you selling any gold or items on Grimdal? I need another 10k or so to buy the Yolti Helmet and complete my set.

Not yet I just started out there, I'll be selling gold for Grimdal in a week or two probably.
