Dark Knight

About
''Harbingers of iniquity, champions of evil and discord; we are the Order of The Dark Knights. We are a titanic fighting force, unequaled by any in the realm, and though we align ourselves with the evil guilds of the realm, we ally with none.''

''A Dark Knight's reason for existence is twofold -- to spread darkness and evil throughout the land by destroying all paladins, and to show undying loyalty to his brethren. We possess massive might in the form of both physical means and magical. Through focus and meditation, our strength is granted to us from the powers below, and in turn, we use this strength to spread terror and suffering to any foolish enough to oppose us. Though we are indeed evil, we possess a sense of honor and fealty to fellow guild members, and will crush those who bring harm to a brother or sister.''

''One Dark Knight, whose mind and body are in unholy focus, can be as an unstoppable juggernaut, his enemies falling one after another at his feet. Our training is demanding, but if you feel you are strong enough and intelligent enough, seek us out in the Dark Castle of Hylar. Elves, gnomes, halflings, or anyone else of goodly heart need not bother. Let night become infinite and darkness reign!''

Player Comments
1. Dark Knights are a relatively easy max, fun to play, and very powerful at high levels with good armour. 2. Charge is an area special. Massacre is the main attack command. Dark Shield is great. 3. Max g.movement.riding first so you can use charge to xp. 4. At level 100 you can get an Unholy Reaver (one of the best weapons in the game) and can summon a nightmare (demon horse). 5. Damage Field gives a great boost to melee, make sure to use it while xping. 6. Fear and destroy may not be worth maxing for.

These next few advancements are guesses. Try the one that makes most sense and post back. Only difference between them is how fighting is done.
