ahhh alright, tyvm

I totally agree with piddy about expo, 300 mana is an important point to reach.

On the other hand although acclaim has the highest dmg, you will mostly need as high range as possible which will lead you to either ass or csword

Ass is pretty goofy on a Knight.

You really have to be going up against a high defense monster for it to make much sense in the dps department.

Honestly, the only melee I like Ass on is Warrior. Any other melee class I find myself bitching a csword.

Hmmm, I might have to take the ol Ass off my pally and try out a Csword on it for awhile.

Piddy so bad

What can I say.

That 4.5 range gets my nethers going.

I agree with Piddy on this one but then again, I also use csword on a warrior xD

I personally don't really like using Ass/Csword on any melee character, it just feels too... Strange. If I were to use it, it would be in place of a Csword rather than a straight replacement.

If this is one of your first melee characters you have played and want it to last a while, I would recommend carrying a Csword as well. Not being used to the very reduced ranged + getting slowed in godlands + leviathan walking on your face = ouch.

Builds I see working:
New Knight: Acclaim, Colossus, Acrop, Experimental Ring, with Csword in inventory.
Pros: Pretty normal build. This is the setup I use (minus the Csword).
Cons: If you aren't maxed and not used to knight, you will run out of MP fast.

Chainstunner: Acclaim, Colossus, Resu, Sphinx, with Csword in inventory.
Pros: You get more than double the amount of stuns, nearly triple.
Cons: You take a bit more damage. Vs Acrop + expo, you have 11 less Def.

Tank: Acclaim, Colossus, Candy Coat, Experiemental Ring, Csword in inventory.
Pros: Very high defense.
Cons: -10 dex is a pretty noticeable hit to your damage.

Cheap Knight: Skysplitter, Mith Shield, Abyssal, Exa Def/HP, with Csword in inventory.
Pros: Cheap.
Cons: Not optimal.
