Thanks for the help guys ^_^. I made a character on Sakray, almost a Swordy =D.
Not looking forward to when the trial runs out *Steals Dad's credit card

Edit: Looks like I'll be a Spear Knight 'cos their skills are very Spear-oriented. Besides, Pierce is sexy :3
Pierce isn't the best because of the lack of hit a knight has.
The main thing that people haven't told you yet is that : Spear knights are hella slow to level with unless you have money to buy pots and def gears since they only level by mobbing... mobbing like 10+ monsters at a time.
Also, just because you have knight skills doesn't mean you aren't going to use swordie skills. One of the best skills to use in general is Bash - it costs low SP and it causes a chance of stun against people and it's spammable without a noticeable delay time or a cast bar. It's really good at taking out agi characters.
I'll briefly explain each build:
Spear Knights:
Vit - These are your PvP knights. They can take a lot of dmg and deal a lot of dmg in an area. You'll mostly level with Brandish Spear. Pierce is good but, there's a nasty delay time. Plus, if you ever go PvP, Brandish Spear is interesting to play around with because it briefly takes off your weapon making it harder for rogues to strip your weapon off. Your attack speed is VERY slow. In fact, you don't even kill stuff with normal hits. You'll probably want to invest in a Moonlight dagger or Petite Armor (gives sp when a monster dies) so you don't have to waste time leveling by regening and waste money by buying blue pots. People usually get a set of +10 pikes - size, race, vvs elementals. The main shields you want are Cranial and Hell. Also, I highly suggest going 1 handed spear or else you're just taking a lot of dmg when leveling or anything.
Agi - silly silly build. I dunno who actually can pull this off but I don't like this build personally. Knights don't get any huge flee bonus and spears have slow aspd. Agi spear builds are mostly for crusaders, but again, my opinion, crappy build. o_O
One-Handed Sword Knight:
Vit - These are also PvP characters. Most Lord Knights, the trans class after knights, pick this build. The key here is to learn Bowling Bash and how it works. There are certain cells on any RO map, if it's too close to an area where you can't walk, the cells will be bugged and BB won't work as much. How Bowling Bash works is that you have a cast time based on your dex and a delay time based on your aspd. It hits twice and it does more dmg based on how many monster hit each other. It has a knock back effect... so what happens is, if you aren't on a retarded dead cell area, when your monsters are mobbed up together, you use BB, the first hit goes off, then a 2nd hit goes off because the monsters bounced into each other. Most commonly people see 1 number but really, it's 2 numbers stacked on top of each other... so whatever dmg number you see, you usually double that. My stalker levels with this skill so I'm really familiar with it. The weapons you would use are +7 carded sabers. +10 are too hard to get. I'm not sure what people get with elementals. ALSO, bowling bash can be used with spears so... if you really want to use a spear. The thing with spears is that it does max dmg on large size monsters. Swords do max dmg on med size monsters. Daggers are best against small.. stuff like that. Your aspd is a bit faster than spears, it's still going to be bad because you are vit.
Agi - Aspd + Def of a shield = good. Sure you may not be able to hit 188 aspd as most 2 handed knights do, but at least you aren't taking 1K dmg per hit. I believe you use claymores and sabers.. I'm not sure. I forgot if claymores were one handed or two handed. o_o
Two-handed knights:
Vit - STUPID IDEA EVER. The good thing about it is, you have the best aspd compared to the other vit build knights... but you're still taking a lot of dmg without a shield. Shields are usually 30% reduction + def of shield. It really helps. Also, you wouldn't be able to mob so big because... no shield >_>
Agi - Ultimate aspd fast agi knight build deal. If you wanna get as much fast hits as possible, you take this route because of the skill "Two-hand quicken". I THINK you might be able to hit 190 aspd that way but I'm not sure. I never owned a knight... well I did, she was level 60 and pure str/dex spear build... pre comodo build.. as its called. It's a really bad build because of the updated game machinics. Mostly you wouldn't even need to use any skills because you should be able to just kill stuff efficently by just meleeing crap to death.
