How to make the best SK?

Harmless No · 04-13-2005, 08:09 PM

Let me apologize off the bat if this is a newbie question, but I haven't seen it addressed in any recent forums. I'm wondering what you all would recommend as far as ability/trait focus. Let me explain:

Mages for example, in general would look to upgrade INT with armor, lore items, trait upgrades, etc. Preists WIS, Main Tanks either STA or STR, Scouts im not sure, AGI maybe. Obviously this is not dogma, but in general this is the case from what I've seen.

What is best for an SK to upgrade or focus on? I ask because from what I've read, SKs can sometimes be the MT, sometimes backup Tank, but also has some offensive spells as well as heals. Just rolled out my 1st Fighter and looking to go SK, but I want to get some opinions on this prior to the first trait augment (lvl8, if im not mistaken.) Any input would be helpful, thanks.

All of thee above, though int and wisdom seem to have the least effect. IMO I would put str first, agi a close second and then sta. Until they do something signifigant with int/wis I'm not to concerned with those as much as the others

75% of a SKs power comes from STR. The other 25% from WIS. As a fighter, you want STA for hp also, but many/most SKs complain of going out of power too quickly. Even if you are MT, you still need power to taunt so I would emphasize STR over STA.

I personally favor str and agi over the other stats. sure wis adds to power too, but its not enough to gather wis equipment.

Solo at Level 45, my High Elf Shadowknight has

153-155 str, 117-119 agi, 86sta, 5Xint and 7Xwis 34XX HP, 1890-1900 power.

I picked all the +power character traits that i was offered, tho i do wish i had more power SMILEY . I dont feel SK have much need for higher HPS, even tho HP is important SMILEY . STA and HP can easily be buffed in groups. ive had mine buffed up to 5000 before, and my power to 2600. with this setup, my SK has the power he needs to last a long time in a fight. especially [Removed for Content] an enchanters refresh.
