Hi Knights of ROM.

I have recently started playing K/P and all the talk of knights killing slowly is alot of bull. There is no builds or rotations out as of yet, so i am going to post some of my experiences.

By the time of posting this thread I am K(50)/P(41) but this have worked for me:

PS. You might want to save the advance reset stone for later on when you actually going to tank, but for levelling:

Skills to max:

• PLV = 1:
  · Deals 50% main hand weapon Physical Light Damage each second. If the target has the Holy Seal effect, it will be all consumed to heal the caster and a nearby party member, restoring an amount of HP between 2% and 8% maximum HP, according to the amount of the Holy Seal.

9) [Defense Technique ]:

• Increases parry rate by 25.0. +3.4 per level
  

Try to keep these skills as close as possible to max.

I found that these skills is are all that is needed while leveling, at least to level 50. Lets face it no one wants a low level knight to tank so shield skills sre pretty useless while levelling. Best go for 2H swords or hammers, and tier them if possible. The most important stats for these skills are stam, the more stam the more damage and the more hp, def, regen etc.

• My rotation:

1) Charge (30 sec cd), which adds 2 holy seals.

2) Punishment (8 sec cd), normaly thats the end of the mob.

if not:

3) Holy seal (8 sec cd), puts 4 holly seals on target

4) Threat, if mob is still alive then holy smite.

5) Remember holy strike when other skills are on cd.

This is the way i played so far, I will try and update as I progress and learn more, for now hope it helps, or at least some more experienced knights can give some constructive feedback

tvm, 4 the input, resons for not choosing warrior or shield of dis, is that of cd's I dont really like the cd's or rage building.
