What combo for shadowknight

Fenderthemadman

I came from EverQuest where I played a shadowknight mostly. Do you think there will be a combo to give me that feeling? I highly enjoyed the feign death like a monk life tapping like necro and tanking like a true knight. I haven’t really came across another game that has given me that satisfaction. From what I seen so far I am happy with game design.

I hope so, I want one as well...

Fighter/necro. I have no idea what the necro will be like, but I’ve seen people suggest it being dot oriented (and there were not dots showcased for the mage).

If necros have taps then a fighter/necro would be it.

I'd also expect a 'Death Augment' style Highsword.

You can't build a fighter necro...necro is summoner and cleric. You could build a physical necro through.

Probably best to wait for the full skill-sets to be released before we give you a solid answer. But, feel free to theorycraft with the rest of us

I honestly am thinking of the exact same thing.

Paladin (Tank/Cleric) seems to really be the only hint at the Paladin/Shadowknight dichotomy that we see. The Templar (Cleric/Fighter) doesn't seem to fix the bill.

But two listings here *might* fit the bill. The Apostle (Cleric/Tank) and the Highsword (Fighter/Cleric). What this might mean for the Shadowknight is the Paladin focuses more on martial skill and utilizes light focused buffs/heals. The Apostle focuses more on dark spell casting like debuffs/drains that has some martial skills -OR- the Highsword that focuses more on martial skill for damaging and utilizing some dark focused debuffs/drains.

Also, they could go in such a way that each archetype would have two paths to go for each combination. And as such, Paladin can just go down Shadowknight within its talents/mutations.

No one knows anything aboht the classes and how they work. We will see

Fighter/cleric might be a highsword however cleric is life and death augments so if u choose the more deathy ones it might be more shadowknighty over high sword. Although changing high sword to shadowknight might be a better way and have them more death magic from cleric. Shadowknight has more player associated to it over what ever a high sword is :P so it probaly not to late to change the class to be more death side of thing from the cleric :P

how ever they could also make paladin and templar have two split depending on if they go more heavily on cleric death magic over holy magic when it comes to augments ro shadow knight instead of paladin and zealot instead of templar depending on auments they go could be interesting having a split between holy and death augments

tbh there most likely nothing done on archtypes (secondaries) as far as we know and how they play so all that classes could potentialy change as they come across other idea/playstyles for those archtypes.
