[Stormreaver]

<DIV>Blessed weapon is a proc buff, yeah. Righteous Anger is just a standard divine damage attack.</DIV>

[Anash]

Righteous Anger had a knock down effect in beta like charge but it was changed, used to have that graphic with the gigantic axe and explosion and it was changed also.

[Graksk]

you have to buy it from the shadowknight trainer.

[Payb]

<DIV>Who is the shadowknight trainer?  I went back to the person in freeport militia that gave me my shadownight quest and nothing.</DIV>

[Tako]

<DIV>By trainer Grak means the trainers that sell your scrolls.  I found mine scroll trainer near the sewer entrance in NFP, there are 3 of them by a tree.  Scroll costs 14 silver.</DIV>

[Payb]

<DIV>Thanks much!</DIV>

[Roland_Descha]

<DIV>sweet thx all</DIV>

[scath]

<DIV>with our proc biffs, which stat determines how often we proc?</DIV> <DIV>also is it the same stat for weapon procs?</DIV>

13 - Righteous Anger : Divine DDSmall update to this: 13.6I got it yesterday.Good list, thanks!

[Zwa]

<DIV>40 - Summon Squire : Summons a willing squire</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Willing to do what??</DIV> <DIV>If it's a girl, I will get naugty thoughts... <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

<DIV>26 - Tainted Sacrament : Summons shade to fight for you briefly. Requires tainted soul<BR></DIV> <DIV>OK, only level 11, and working hard onit, Sony Snafu'd on my CE so I'm getting a late start.</DIV> <DIV>Where does one obtain a 'tainted soul' and what is it?</DIV>

[CptTrips]

This maybe a silly question.. How do I decide what combat art/spell do I invest my money into to upgrade? I assume that some of these arts will not be used at higher levels.

[Ravaan]

<DIV> <DIV>now when it says AE ... is that encounter or will those spells effect mobs out of encounters. if so that kinda sucks and could get the SK in a lot of trouble. I mean i have Cry of conviction and only use it once in a great while. just seems like they are useless spells to me.</DIV></DIV>

[Bellic]

<DIV>Cry of Conviction works great to help keep AE taunt, that shout and assult when used in the proper context can help you keep up to 6 mobs off the casters and healers situations in Fallen Gate and Commons i use it a lot.</DIV>

[GreatReor]

<DIV>awesome thread. Answered alot of questions thank you </DIV>

[Payb]

<DIV>No shriek of terror at 23.</DIV>

[JIB20]

<DIV> <DIV>Hey don't forget, lvl 15 you earn "Power Cleave", its right before "Faithful Swing"</DIV> <DIV>Just tryin to keep the list complete :smileywink:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV></DIV>

[Rapinis]

<DIV>I read a few sites that shadowknights get a group evac, has this been yanked?</DIV>

[JIB20]

<DIV>Man I sure hope not, I was really lookin forward to saving my groups butt when the outlook of the battle is grim. :smileymad:</DIV>

[GreatReor]

<DIV>have to say looking at this list that we get a really some really impressive moves. Can't wait to get higher level</DIV>

[Payb]

<DIV>Fetid grasp and Rescue on dinging 25</DIV>

[Tyd]

<DIV>23 - Shriek of Terror : Taunt + AE disease debuff<BR></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>=================================</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>We need it but we didnt get it.. <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

[IBSomnifer]

22.6 - Decree of Decay : Increases hate and curses all enemies with a lifetap shieldDoesn't have lifetap shield. I Hate the fact that we havn't gotten a single life tap yet...crusader faithful blow...is pathetic. I thought i saw +12 a couple times on but that was just us doing faithful blow.

[Graksk]

Don't worry I've used lifetap maybe 5 times in the last 4 levels. It sucks too.

[Anash]

<DIV>Yeah Shriek of Terror doesn't exist, we need a upgrade to shout, ShadowKnight style badly.</DIV>

[IBSomnifer]

rescue SUCKS BADLY!!!! its a long reuse timer...its supposed to be a last ditch taunt that will pull agro off anyone. but...it doesn't. inflame did a better job pulling agro. Why have we been screwed with this lame ability...when people get stuff like "escape" a group evac...which is the coolest ever. I've /bug-ed this lame spell in hopes they at least make it WORK.

[Tyd]

<DIV>I agree - one of the reason is chose SK was that we got group evac. They even gave it as an example to what was our specialities sort of.. Gonna try and find it again unless SOE has whiped it under the carpet.</DIV>

[Shadame]

Could someone post an updated SK 1-50 arts list please, with information on where to buy spells/ skills if they are not automatically given?Thanks!

I dinged 13 last night but I didn't receive Rightous Anger... (well, pretty sure I didn't) I'm at work now and can't remember name of spell I got, but the animation is a shoulder barge and it stuns the target for a short duration... (That's not Rightous Anger is it?) I'll check again when I get back home (hehe it was a late one last night)

If decree of decay is an upgrade to shout...they did a horrible job coding it that way. Shout works much better for AoE taunt then DoD. both at adept1.

<DIV>Faithful Swing at level 15ish was a bit of a disapointment. "Heals Crusader a bit". A bit being 20 Health - has anyone got adept 1 or app 3 in this? and how good does it get when you upgrade?</DIV>

38 SK here, and I agree 110%. There is zero SK feel to this class.

[MF2K|Wh]

<DIV>You should add....</DIV> <DIV>level 36 - Shriek of Terror (Increases the hate towards the Shadowknight, and decreases the disease resistances of all enemies in the encounter. It also grants a small lifetap proc to the Shadowknight). I have confirmed that this does replace the Shout/Decree of Decay line as our next AE taunt</DIV>

[Shadame]

Yes, but does it actually taunt mobs well enough?

[MF2K|Wh]

<DIV>Cant say on Taunting... I havnt had a chance to buy an upgrade yet, I'll test it out some once I get at least app2.</DIV>

[Shadame]

Any chance on someone less lazy than me updating and recompiling the entire list?

[ReficulFonwaps]

<DIV>Great list, thx :smileyhappy:</DIV>

[Rakn]

do we really get no new skill at 36 of any kind?

[Dai'Sh]

According to the list we get Shriek of Terror at level 23. I do not have this for some reason. Is it like the horse and vendor bought? If so what vendor? It's not on the scribe or trainer in Longshadow Alley and I haven't seen it on the vendors/trainers in North FP. I'll check my spell book yet again but I'm pretty sure it's not in there. Anyone have any info on this?

<DIV>A great way to use a SK is to "backup" other tanks at level 33 for instance u have Grant of armement,Evasive manuvers,Infernal Pact,Vigor of trust &aincient Pledge. Thats 5 diffrent buffs/wards you can apply toa tank offering of armement is very nice will raise AC by 150+, infernal Pact works well especially when combined with reactive armor wards. Buff your MT wiohtt hese before a fight and continue to use infernal pact as needed throught the encounter.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>You are also good at peeling a target off Say a healer/ Wizard who has agro.. taunt it if that dont work (RESCUE IS USELESS BY THE WAY DEVS) Grave embrace yer healer/Wiz after all the taunts they will come at ya....</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>While doin all this make sure you are throwing every DOT u  got  at the target mob. </DIV> <DIV>Save some power for the late stages of fights for either peeling Mobs or warding the MT</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>HOW TO MT WITH A SK:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Simple before a fihgt buff yourself all but grant o armor is good Dont forget your group buffs for damage and disease res.</DIV> <DIV>get al warded up and pull your group mob with condeming spirit/grim coil/ or fetid grasp all good range attacks. I like to chain a ho wiht this pull with condem start ho hit with fetid and area taunt when the mob arrives.  Turn the mob so nobody is in cone of attack and swing away..About this time you can refresh infernal pact....Draw strength... attack attack mob1 dead.. disease cloud second target in mob, attack (painbringer dot etc) refresh infernal pact auto attack ....mob dead switch to third target cloud, infernal pact condeming spirit consume vitae whatever u need till end of fight and walla good tanking!!!</DIV>
