Our spells will suck the life from you while are giant blades cleave hunks of flesh from your bones.Our pet's will be their to chase you all the way back to hell when i cast darkness on you and follow through with a nice fear spell.At the end of your misserable lives...just when you think you have won the fight and it is obvious that brute force is on your side you suddenly hear a sick wretching sound as you are knocked backwards and the remaining skin is fused to your platemail. the last thing you ever see are the tendrils of smoke drifting from my claws.

#Anonymous, Posted: Jun 09 2001 at 4:02 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I am tired of all the peeps saying that shadow knights are not damage dealers and also should only use a 1 hander and a shield . YOU OBVIOUSLY DO NOT PLAY A SHADOW KNIGHT . Lets go back to the dark arts of necromancy .... shadow knights have these powers as well ... not as much ... but the damage over time spells ... the debuffs ... the taps ....add all this up ...... NOT FORGETING the damage output on your blade ... I would say shadow knights ARE damage dealers .... if not ...... then what are they? clerics? ..... think !!! And to add ... why should a shadow knight not use a 2 handed blade? umm .. to deal damage .... its all about your other gear really ...... for example ... lets say you have a full set of plate mail with high AC for your level .... go with the 2 hander ..... and if you dont have the high AC you think you should have .. go buy a shield ... but only then ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... all in all .... do you want to take the hits? ...... or do you want to destroy your target as quick as possible ... it is a well put choice either way , BUT DO NOT THINK THAT A KNIGHT IS NOT A DAMAGE DEALER ! ..... warriors are not the ONLY damage dealers in the game . I hope the peeps that posted all this kindergarden crap needs to either A.) play a shadow knight ... or B.) play a shadow knight ... to really understand what they are .

#Anonymous, Posted: Jun 12 2001 at 6:10 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Why did you waste all that time posting ********* Shadowknights are not damage dealers... They have little damage output, they are a Defensive class.

#REDACTED, Posted: Jun 12 2001 at 8:04 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I dont know what you talking about. In any incounter of grouping with a worrior, I deal out just as much damage with my weapon. That is also not including the dmg I deal out with my DOTs and life taps. So for you info YES Knights are dmg dealers. And hey I just made an *** out of you. In retrospect Knights are also a good defensive class. You made a good point thier. But I dont think that any class that is rated as the second best mele class next to worriors not to be a dmg dealer.

Troll and Ogre - puer stats, no history, not much different than a Quake char.

Iksar SK - rich RPG history, complex play.

Is this Quake or an rpg?

I also read somewhere here about using 1HS and a shield. Unless 1HS refers to a Wurmslayer or the all-powerful Noctavient Blade, you are sadly mistaken. 1HS were MEANT for Dual Wielders, take one good hard look at the stats and ratios. SKs have no use with 1HS unless they plan on using either the Wurmslayer or Noctavient blade.

Ghoulbane is good stats?

You need to do a decent amount of damage to taunt. A wurmslayer is like a 1hander version of a decent 2handed blade. Its good for sk's who cant slam, and getting a free stat bonus by using a shield.

That is all.

OK, I don't play an Sk or paladin I play a Warrior (or my druid rarely). Now wurmy is not a big stat booster as one of he posters said. ghoulbane is pretty kewl but definately not the best compared to two handed weapons of there level. SK's get a few good 1 handed slashers and the corrupted ghoulbane does have stats. it's just ghoulbane, only SK's can use though. But it is for the SK epic quest (First easier half is corrupting the ghoulbane.) Just use whatever kind of weapon you want and shut yur face!

SKs can have just as high if not higher damage output than any other melee class. Being considered a "defensive" class is BS. I know, I hunt in the Overthere like MAD and can outdamage most other meleers in any group I've been in with my MoSS or Mith. SKs were meant to use 1HB and 2HS. Keep one of each in backpack at ALL TIMES. Currently, I am using a MoSS and a Mith and a Cracked Darkwood shield (for the STR, not AC) and I own the Overthere. Seriously, you are SEVERLY underestimating the SKs ability to dish out damage.

BTW, that is a nice sword, MoSS is still better though ;)

In all actuallity, its quite a bit better then a arbitors and also better then a Baton of faith at 55 or higher. In reality, if a paladin or shadowknight wants to do decent damage this is an ideal weapons. Dont pay more then 10k for it though.

#Anonymous, Posted: Feb 08 2001 at 4:46 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Sorry, but that thing sucks. Any warrior is going to either dual wield, and any sk worth a **** is going to use a shield. Ive seen for 3k

aaaaaaaa. Wrong. I've heard the same thing said about Paladins with more convincing reasons, but the this logic is pre Kurnak. The new weapons are good enough to make a Paladin, and a Shadowknight want to use a 2 hander. Now of course this depends on the situation. If I am fighting a caster, and don't want to get nuked have the mob escape with a gate, or heal itself then I will switch to my one hander and my shield so I can chain stun it (I carry both a one hander and shield, and a two hander at all times), but when I want to hit hard, since I can't dual wield that is, nothing beats a good two hander.

#Anonymous, Posted: Mar 15 2001 at 8:49 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) are ya smart? 2h is the the way to go. with double attack, we do MUCH more dam with a 2h than a measley 1h and a shield. i know - i am an SK. and im worth plenty, thank you. im weilding the deathwatch sword now, and i can EASILY hold my own!

SKs and especially Paladins are not designed to be damage dealers, so if that is how you are playing it you are a danger to everyone around you. We are tanks, we are taunters, we are stunners. The need to do more damage is nowhere near as great as the need to take more damage, in PvE situations. Our strength is in our staying power. 2hs is definately king for PvP against other melee types, but versus casters you want 1hs and shield, and against mobs in a group you want the same. 2hs IS good for soloing, but that again is really not the function of a Paladin or SK.

So get off this crap about 1hs being "measly". There's nothing measly about keeping a mob off of your monk, rogue or casters who do the real damage.. no matter what weapon you use you will never do the kind of damage they can do, so do your job already!

This is a pretty weak weapon for the manpower required to kill rak'ashiir. Don't get me wrong, its a nice weapon, but nowhere near as nice as the ornate rune shield is for casters, and that is easier to get. Rak'ashiir isn't the hard part of getting this weapon. The hard part is getting him alone to spawn.

Have to first kill ghiosk reaver and ghiosk, then pull from upstairs in castle till you get one black reaver at a time. 4 of the 5 black reaver spawns will pop a phantom eventually. The 5th, last reaver upstairs will pop rak'ashiir. Rak'ashiir will not drop the scale for the sham uber quest unless you give him the iksar child tear from plane of fear.

Bring at least 15 tanks, 3-4 clerics, and a few ae people and enchanters. Then for Rak'ashiir you need some high lvl mages with fire pets (the tank kind not wizard kind). Buff them to the tee, have sham turn in tear, converse with rak, get attacked, then send pets. When adds, have enchanters charm them and send against rak'ashiir. the ae will most likely kill them off very fast.

AE is a very fast casting spell, not a proc, so when he gets to about 35-40% health you can finish him with tanks, he won't immolate any more.

I would say this weapon is best suited for a paladin, so give it to one, wars, shd, rng, already get better 1h stuff.

Bah how untrue can you get...takes at least 2 groups including a good puller to even get past all the reavers to get to Rak'Ashiir...even if they don't take part in the battle theres no way 2 mages and 2 clerics can get to him alone.

It does take a decent force to get to Rak'Ashiir, however, our half literate friends above are correct. He can be taken down with two mages and two clerics. That's actually the preferred tactic since fire pets are immune to his nasty AE spell, while players aren't. We got in, took down Rak'Ashiir, and cleared the reavers without taking a single loss. Had we tried to go toe to toe with Rak'Ashiir, some people would've died.
