So i'm the top knight in the leaderboards at the time of writing of this post, and also the only non-conventional class higher than 6k pr, so yes i feel like i should say something about this class and also for whoever aspires to main as this class. And yes I purposely put this as the head of my rant because i am a shameless swaghunter. Anyway, please read on and ignore this attention-seeking header.
Overall i'm not exactly disappointed with knight, but neither am i happy with it. For all those who don't know, knight does a coeff of 8 on his class gem, along with a stun.
My feels about the class gem is short and simple : It's a replacement for smash.
What happens with the class gem is that u shoot a rather long ranged wave that explodes at the end or when it touches a block. The wave does a 1s stun along with a rather high burst. However, there is a cooldown of about 1.5s.
What this means is that it would completely replace smash as our main skill. Smash as we know it, is a short range frontal aoe stun with knockback, doing an coeff of 4.5. It has no cooldown, but a rather long animation.
This animation seems to correspond with the 1.5s cooldown of the class gem. So it is essentially designed to replace smash.
But why put the class gem on charge then? The class gem basically forces us to give up 2 skills, both smash and charge, for it. Having the class gem means u forfeit charge, and there is no reason to use smash for any reason at all except to knockback things for whatever reason there could be.
Another huge problem with the class gem is that it has some ridiculous block breaking ability for yet another meaningless reason. It is more destructive than neon ninja's, requiring only 2 uses for glass blocks and 3 for any other breakable block. For what purpose would this be, if implemented at all?
Knight isn't your biggest dps, for sure. It has some good points where it can keep stunning the enemy depending on your er along with some relatively high damage, but my main issues with it is that it breaks blocks and essentially makes smash useless while replacing charge.
To be honest i'd still use knight ftw, it is more of a personal habit to use my first class, but these problems that surfaces should not happen at all.
tl;dr remove block breaking and replace smash rather than charge for the class gem.
