[reported] Knight Light Damage skills have no effect

Title: Knight Light Damage Skills do not increase damage

Class: Knight/Warrior

Description: Skills Devotion, Holy Strength, and Divine Punishment all state that they increase Light Damage. I have tested them extensively resetting my skill points and have found no difference in the damage dealt if the skills are maxed or not at all. Divine Punishment states that it increases Light damage for a time after the punishment skill lands but it in fact decreases damage dealt. Devotion does increase mana but has no effect on damage, Holy Strength increases strength but there is no damage increase.

Which does nothing? I don't understand is the skill broken or working as intended just not useful?

Knight skills r not bugged. Its just a matter of physical light dps versus (magical) light dps terms. when the term physical is not in the description, then it is implied as magical by default.

- Holy Strength: increases 20% ur magical light damage done
- Devotion: increases ur magical light damage done by 21%

Q: So the knights dont have a skill-mastery like all other classes? Since devotion only applies to k/m, who does magical light dmamage.
A: Yes, knight still do NOT have a mastery for their physical light damage done

As for the k/w 70 elite divine punishment: yes, it is bugged since day-1 that the 70 elite skill have been introduced. it decreases ur dmg done instead of increasing. should be fixed.. some day

idk about that, why even name any of the knight skills 'physical LIGHT damage' then if the word light damage never applies to anything ever for those physical skills. Seems very obviously bugged to me or it would just say physical damage on all the skills like everyone else.

the skills Holy strength and Devotion were mainly designed for k/m (even though holy strength has a physical-part too by +20% str).

i understand ur argument especially for Devotion skill that may be bugged (although i dont personally support it). yet, holy strength is 100% intended. it adds a physical (+20% str) and a magical (+20% magic light dmg done) component, suitable for both k/m and any k/*.

If they want to fix Devotion for knights, they should buff Holy Strength for for K/M to keep it viable for tanking and dps.

or they can make it apply for both physical light and magical light damage. that way both the physical knights will get a mastery of 21%, while k/m wont be changed at all.

Would be nice for Knights to get a little love instead of nerfs and skills not working properly, especially with the amount of TP we need to be effective as a tank. Sitting at 100K to 110K PATK buffed on K/S and it seems sometimes i am missing that little extra that other classes all have in expodential numbers ;-(

Give us a little extra, 5 years here and yet to see a little love for Knights ;-)

Wasn't there a patch pretty much dedicated to knights that changed a lot of the skills?

Patch 6.0.0- Patchnotes

this patch.

But it's a bug that the primary knight skills don't have any affect (the only combination is Knight/Mage)
