Fantasy Dark Knight Reorganisation

Here's another one. It's centered around the Final Pact skill, which I have made changes to also. It focuses on the counter that you have to reach to revive from Final Pact, where you have to choose between fast hits or slow, stronger hits. A perfect balance produces the maximum damage output. A bit too much of either and you'd either lose out on damage or die. There are a few skills to help you get into the Final Pact state, to give you extra bonuses while in the state and to help reduce the counter quicker. Even the Beholder gets in on the action, instead of being its own, isolated aspect of the Dark Knight. Not too much too say here; read the skills and author comments below instead. Final Pact-centered skills in purple inside commentated section.

I also have a Marksman revamp posted here. Well, it's not posted. But it's done.

 Damage per second (1v1, 0% PDR)

These are pretty much the high and low ends of your damage. I don't want to find the average over the course of 20 minutes, so yeah. I forgot to account for the fact that you deal a finisher hit when you resummon Beholder for the spin values. Not that it matters, so I won't care. Also don't have any values for one spin (sub-180ms) + finisher, which is probably the case in practice anyway.

Spamming Tainted Spear (spin), using Gungnir's Descent and Beholder whenever possible: ~12.4k%/s
Spamming Tainted Spear (finisher), using Gungnir's Descent and Beholder whenever possible: ~18.62k%/s

 Swordsman

Swordsmanship Mastery
Maximum Level: 15
Description: Permanently increases maximum HP, movement speed, maximum movement speed, jump and knock back resistance.

15 Maximum HP +30%, movement speed +20%, maximum movement speed +20%, jump +10%, knock-back resistance +40%

Iron Body
Maximum Level: 20
Description: Permanently increases defense and touch damage reduction.

20 Defense +1,000, touch damage reduction +50%

This skill has one of the blandest animations in the entire game, so it might as well be a passive. The damage reduction only works against touch damage now, but it has been amped up to fit the role. Oh, and "defense" here means both weapon defense and magic defense. I thought I might as well call it that since they've been collectively referring to accuracy and avoid in the same way for a while now.


Slash Blast
Maximum Level: 20
Description: Deals damage to enemies.
Delays: slashBlast - 990ms, slashBlast2 - 900ms
Hitbox: 200%
Final Attack: One-handed sword, two-handed sword, one-handed axe, two-handed axe, one-handed blunt weapon, two-handed blunt weapon, spear, polearm

20 Activation cost: 6 MP, damage: 335%, maximum enemies targeted: 4

War Leap
Maximum Level: 10
Description: Performs a second jump with increased power while ascending in the air.

10 Activation cost: 5 MP

 Spearman

[COLOR="#800080"]Beholder
Maximum Level: 1
Description: Summons the Beholder who deals damage to enemies, granting a chance to inflict blind. When the Beholder expires, it explodes and deals damage to enemies. This skill may not be used while already active and the cooldown of this skill activates after the skill ends.
Delays: alert2 - 600ms, attack1 - 1440ms, attack2 - 1440ms, skill1 - 1440ms
Hitbox: 270%, 400%

1 Activation cost: 30 MP, damage: 420%, number of hits: 1, blind rate: 20%, accuracy decrease: 80%, blind duration: 5 seconds, maximum enemies targeted: 1, duration: 30 seconds, explosion damage: 880%, explosion number of hits: 1, explosion maximum enemies targeted: 15, cooldown: 150 seconds

[/COLOR]
I have always wondered why the Beholder was like the only summon who didn't attack. Well, now it does. The blind rate is obviously for Gungnir's Descent (see Dark Knight), and the reason why it's blind and not some other effect is (also obviously) because the Beholder's an eye! I was really wondering what kind of status effect to give the guy, so thank god he was designed as (or plagiarised from) an eye. The duration of 30 seconds is a bit low, but since conventional buffing has been eradicated, I don't see it as much of a problem.


Weapon Mastery
Maximum Level: 10
Description: Permanently increases mastery, accuracy and attacking speed.

10 Mastery +50%, accuracy +240, attacking speed +2

I merged Weapon Booster with this skill in case you haven't noticed. Death to buffs.


Physical Training
Maximum Level: 10
Description: Permanently increases STR and DEX.

5 STR +30, DEX +30

Endure
Maximum Level: 20
Description: Permanently increases damage reduction and elemental resistance.

20 Damage reduction +20%, elemental resistance +30%

Who doesn't love some elemental resistance? Oh, and some damage reduction too. We don't really have any of that stuff. Heh, not that you'd be using it.


Final Attack
Maximum Level: 20
Description: Grants a chance to deal damage to an enemy after performing certain skills.
Hitbox: 450%
Pre-requisite: level 3 Weapon Mastery

20 Activation rate: 40%, damage: 150%

Piercing Drive
Maximum Level: 20
Description: Deals damage to enemies. Enemies who are 250px or father away will be dealt improved damage from this skill.
Delays: piercingThrough - 780ms
Hitbox: 350%
Final Attack: Spear, polearm

20 Activation cost: 20 MP, damage: 402%, improved damage: 520%, number of hits: 1, maximum enemies targeted: 8

It clearly hits once. Increased improved damage since the range of freedom was reduced by a hundred pixels. I removed the critical rate effect because the whole skill reminded me of Rangefinder, and also because Dark Impale fits the close range part in third job.


Spear Sweep
Maximum Level: 10
Description: Deals damage to enemies, pulling them closer to you and stunning them.
Delays: spearPulling - 1050ms
Hitbox: 450%
Final Attack: Spear, polearm

Description: Increases the defense of nearby party members, including yourself.
Delays: ironWall - 0ms
Hitbox: 400%

10 Activation cost: 24 MP, defense +100%, duration: 900 seconds

Shield Mastery is like fifty times that. You won't be using it during bossing anyway.

 Berserker

Aura of the Beholder
Maximum Level: 20
Description: The Beholder increases your critical rate, minimum critical damage and defense ignore as long as it is summoned. Permanently increases critical rate, minimum critical damage, defense ignore, the chance of inflicting blind with Beholder, the number of hits of the Beholder explosion and decreases the cooldown of Beholder.

20 Critical rate +100%, minimum critical damage +30%, defense ignore +100%; critical rate +20%, minimum critical damage +15%, defense ignore +30%; Beholder blind rate +20%, Beholder explosion number of hits +1, Beholder cooldown decrease: 30 seconds

See? I'm taking the progress of the character very seriously. They'll grow to love their Beholder more and more as they level up. And they'll miss it more and more whenever it goes on cooldown. Bwahahahaha.


Hex of the Beholder
Maximum Level: 20
Description: The Beholder automatically grants a buff to nearby party members, including yourself, which increases maximum HP and maximum MP, and periodically recovers HP and MP. The Beholder will not buff party members already under the effects of the buff. Permanently increases the chance of inflicting blind with Beholder, the number of hits of the Beholder explosion and decreases the cooldown of Beholder.

20 Maximum HP +60%, maximum MP +60%, HP recovery: 5% of maximum HP, MP recovery: 5% of maximum MP, recovery frequency: 4 seconds, duration: 180 seconds; Beholder blind rate +20%, Beholder explosion number of hits +1, Beholder cooldown decrease: 30 seconds

This is Hyper Body, pretty much. And kind of Aura as well. Even though this is Hex. And Aura is like Hex now. Confusing stuff.


Power Stance
Maximum Level: 10
Description: Permanently increases knock back resistance.

10 Knock-back resistance +60%

Reinforced Darkness
Maximum Level: 10
Description: Permanently grants a chance to drain a portion of damage dealt to enemies, up to 20% of maximum HP or the current active threshold of Cross Surge, and increases status resistance.

10 Drain rate: 20%, damage drained: 10%, status resistance +40%

Basically, if you're 100% HP or under, you'll only heal up to 100% HP. If you're 80% HP or under, you'll only heal up to 80% HP. And so on.


Dark Impale
Maximum Level: 20
Description: Deals damage to enemies. Permanently increases the improved damage of Piercing Drive.
Delays: darkImpale - 840ms
Hitbox: 250%
Final Attack: Spear, polearm
Pre-requisite: level 20 Piercing Drive

20 Activation cost: 35 MP, damage: 208%, number of hits: 4, maximum enemies targeted: 8; Piercing Drive improved damage: 750%

It really does only hit 4 times. Short range with Dark Impale, long range with Piercing Drive.


Rush
Maximum Level: 10
Description: Deals damage to enemies by moving forward, pushing them along with you.
Delays: rush - 600ms
Hitbox: 450%
Final Attack: Spear, polearm

10 Activation cost: 20 MP, damage: 305%, number of hits: 1, maximum enemies targeted: 12

[COLOR="#800080"]Cross Surge
Maximum Level: 20
Description: Increases total damage whenever your HP meets certain thresholds relative to your maximum HP. This skill can be toggled on or off.
Delays: threat - 1260ms
Animations: 100%, 80%, 60%, 40%, 20%, 0%

20 Activation cost: 20 MP, when HP is equal to or lower than: 100% of your maximum HP, total damage +10%; 80% of your maximum HP, total damage +20%; 60% of your maximum HP, total damage +30%; 40% of your maximum HP, total damage +40%; 20% of your maximum HP, total damage +50%, when HP is equal to 0% of your maximum HP, total damage +100%

[/COLOR]
These buffs prepare you for fourth job. Well, you could still try that 0% HP thing, I guess. You'll probably die though. Now that I think about it, this would be quite confusing for those Berserkers who don't know about their own fourth job skills. The toggle's obviously to turn off the annoying animation, of course! It's not like I decided to add some USEFUL animation mechanic there just because I needed a reason to make this skill toggle.


[COLOR="#800080"]Hyper Body
Maximum Level: 10
Description: Increases attack and boss damage, and reduces defense, avoid, damage reduction, elemental resistance, dodge rate, HP recovery, potion effectiveness and drain rate, prevents healing and removes all increases to maximum HP from skills or items. This skill can be toggled on or off.
Delays: alert2 - 600ms

10 Activation cost: 30 MP, attack +50, boss damage +30%, defense: 0, avoid: 0, damage reduction: 0%, elemental resistance: 0%, dodge rate: 0%, HP recovery: 0, potion effectiveness: 0%, drain rate: 0%

[/COLOR]
Did I miss anything? Maybe the skill should retcon all your HP gains from levelling up previously to the lowest possible. You must be at the worst state of survivability. Who needs it when you're trying to die, anyway? Who needs it if dying meant becoming immortal?

 Dark Knight (hypers)

[COLOR="#800080"]Domination of the Beholder
Maximum Level: 30
Description: The Beholder drains HP from you whenever it attacks. Its damage increases each time it drains your HP. Permanently increases the chance of inflicting blind with Beholder, the number of hits of the Beholder explosion and decreases the cooldown of Beholder.

30 Drained HP: 30% of maximum HP, damage +45%; Beholder blind rate +20%, Beholder explosion number of hits +1, Beholder cooldown decrease: 30 seconds

[/COLOR]
Now THIS is domination, Nexon America. The damage increase is additive with itself, but multiplies with the Beholder's damage, by the way. And of course, it resets each time a new Beholder is summoned. Beholder can be 4,011% damage or 14,516% with Revenge... or 44,000% with the explosion! Doesn't sound so weak now, does it?


[COLOR="#800080"]Vengeance of the Beholder
Maximum Level: 30
Description: The Beholder automatically unleashes an attack whenever you are damaged by an enemy. This skill can be toggled on or off. Permanently increases the chance of inflicting blind with Beholder, the number of hits of the Beholder explosion and decreases the cooldown of Beholder.
Hitbox: 260%

30 Damage: 380%, number of hits: 4, maximum enemies targeted: 12, instant kill rate: 10%, cooldown: 5 seconds; Beholder blind rate +20%, Beholder explosion number of hits +1, Beholder cooldown decrease: 30 seconds

[/COLOR]
A revenge that can actually justify its cooldown. Works with Domination of the Beholder as well, by the way.


Weapon Expert
Maximum Level: 30
Description: Permanently increases mastery, accuracy and minimum critical damage.
Pre-requisite: level 10 Weapon Mastery

30 Mastery +20%, attack +30, minimum critical damage +15%

[COLOR="#800080"]Final Pact
Maximum Level: 30
Description: Enables you to remain alive for a fixed period of time when your HP reaches 0. During this time, you will revive after the skill ends if you clear a counter by killing monsters or hitting a boss a certain number of times. This number will increase by 5 each time you are revived by this skill, but will reset a fixed period of time after this skill first activates in the cycle.

30 Duration: 30 seconds, monster kill or boss hit requirement: 0, requirement reset timer: 1,500 seconds

[/COLOR]
No damage reflect ignore or invincibility (it doesn't protect you from status effects), but you can potentially stay immortal (not invincible) forever with Gungnir's Descent and Tainted Spear's keydown. In a perfect world. At the cost of a large chunk of damage. All the skills reducing your defense or outright damaging or killing you was obviously for this skill, and Cross Surge's 0% HP effect can only activate with this skill, of course.


[COLOR="#800080"]Gungnir’s Descent
Maximum Level: 30
Description: Deals damage to an enemy, ignoring defense and clears a certain number of counters from Final Pact. This skill may be used during other skills. The cooldown of this skill progresses five times as quickly when you are attacking an enemy inflicted with a status effect.
Delays: gungnirsDescent - 0ms
Hitbox: 400%
Final Attack: Spear, polearm

30 Activation cost: 5,000 HP, damage: 2,496%, number of hits: 1, defense ignored: 100%, maximum enemies targeted: 1, Final Pact counters cleared: 5, cooldown: 20 seconds

[/COLOR]
This skill can help kill you. It can deal tremendous damage at no cost of your time. It can let you deal even more damage with Tainted Spear's finisher by shortening spinning time. All at no cost of your time. Not sure how the cooldown thing would work with consecutive attacks, but it would work pretty well with Tainted Spear's keydown. The Beholder's blind can only stay active for half the time or so, so you might want to find another status effect to work with otherwise.


[COLOR="#800080"]Tainted Spear
Maximum Level: 30
Description: Deals damage to enemies continuously by holding down the skill key, ignoring defense. You may move and jump while this skill is being used. During Final Pact, you will perform a finisher hit after you release the skill key, which deals damage to enemies, ignoring defense and granting a chance to ignore damage cancel or damage reflect.
Delays: 450ms (prepare), 180ms (keydown), 720ms (keydownend)
Hitbox: 230%, 370%
Final Attack: Spear, polearm

30 Activation cost: 7 MP, damage: 360%, number of hits: 1, defense ignored: 20%, maximum enemies targeted: 8, finisher damage: 475%, finisher number of hits: 6, finisher defense ignored: 40%, finisher damage cancel or damage reflect ignore rate: 20%, finisher maximum enemies targeted: 1

[/COLOR]
Spanish, begone! While spinning is for mobbing and finisher is for bossing, you can only use the finisher while in a state between life and death. And to maintain that state, you'll have to spin. Properly balance between the two during bossing and you'll make the most out of your Final Pact time. Spin too much? Loss of damage. Spin too little? Death. Of course, there are skills like Gungnir's Descent and Dark Thirst to help you out a bit. You also get to ignore damage reflect! And it doesn't matter if you fail since you're immortal. You can always play it safe and take advantage of all your survivability skills and just spin your way through bosses as well, I guess. You'd truly be immortal then. And a sub-par damage dealer.


Hero’s Will
Maximum Level: 5

3 mobs wouldn't be that bad for a bossing skill...?


[COLOR="#800080"]Dark Thirst

Hitbox: 400%

1 Activation cost: 100 MP, total damage +10%, maximum damage +10,000,000, duration: 300 seconds, cooldown: 900 seconds

Yes, this skill stacks with other versions of Epic Adventure. Also, the cooldown thing will also reduce the cooldown if you already have the skill out, but only once for each skill, including the ones before activation. So it's basically just no cooldown if you have all five up, but that was obvious already. I do have a Marksman revamp finished with the Bowman version of this skill. It's not yet ready for Southperry viewing yet, though.
