Ragnarok Online/Knight

Stat Builds
There are two common Knight builds which use the skills and stat bonuses of a Knight to the fullest.

Spear Knight (STR/VIT or VIT/STR)
Stat breakdown

The build focuses on doing slow but steady damage, while decreasing the physical damage obtained when on the receiving end of an attack. -High STR is a must, as attack strength is determined by this stat. -High VIT goes well with this build, as physical damage reduction and high HP will make a Knight near-invincible. -DEX is important as well, as it increases accuracy as well as attack speed. -INT would increase one's SP and magic damage reduction, and hence is not really a necessity, but it has its uses. -AGI would be raised high enough to be able to do fast enough damage. -LUK is of the least concern, as the build does not rely on critical hits and perfect dodges.

Skill breakdown

Get the prerequisites for the skills in the next part of the job tree, as it would be a waste to use Knight skill points on Swordsman skills. Endure is recommended, to ensure that the Knight does not flinch when up against fast-hitting opponents. Increased HP Recovery is essential, so that HP recovers faster when sitting, or even while fighting. Bash and Magnum Break are the offensive skills. Provoke is recommended, as one would be able to do higher damage, and the build is also capable of taking more damage from the opponent. The Mastery skills are not required by the Knight; however, the Sword Mastery is often used, as one-handed swords allow for faster attack speeds and good enough damage.

Knight skills focus primarily on techniques with spears; hence a Spear Knight would have to learn most, if not all, of these skills. Peco-Peco ride is useful, as it increases damage done when using spears. Cavalry Mastery is essential, unless you would like to let your attack speed suffer. There is no real point in getting the Two-Handed sword skills.

Equipment breakdown

As a Swordsman, One-Handed Swords are often used, as Spears have slow attack speed.

As a Knight, One-Handed Spears are used, as the high enough STR allows for high damage with an upgraded and properly carded Pike [4]. The free slot also allows for the use of a Shield, which further reduces damage taken.

AGI KNIGHT (Placeholder)

The (+?) is just the bonus you get when your a 99 knight.

Str-92(+8) If cannot stress how much str is needed, it's the main stat for a knight anyway. Str works in 10's so having 100 is like DEADLY DAMADGE!

Agi-80(+2) If you higher then 80 with agi, I think your just wasting your stat build. I think agi should be used as just ASPD, but sometimes to dodge.

Vit-40(+10) Yeah I don't know, vit works in 10's.

Int-18(+0) I don't see why you shouldn't put any points into int, I mean most knights like to spam their skills during WoE(btw I also wrote a walkthrough on that) and int will just increase the amount, and the heal time. Works in 6's.

Dex-36(+4) Yeah I know sorta low, but hopefully you'll get hell rich and just get a very very elemental clay/very very very strong claymore.

Skills
Note: Knights may use all skills they learned as Swordmen and may continue to select spells from the Swordman skill list if they so choose.
