Knight
Knights are Regnum Online's tanks. When choosing this subclass, warriors gain access to hard metal shields and the heaviest armors of the game. By equipping these, they can take much more punishment than any other class. A long list of defensive buffs makes them even tougher.
Knights also gain a defensive trait available to no other other class: block chance. This is in addition to normal evasion and resist chances. Blocking means parrying an attack, blocking both damage and the effects of spells too.
Like all warriors, Knights lack range attack. Their damage output also is lower than the other warrior class, the barbarian. However, they can help win wars without the need of hitting hard. Knights can use powerful defensive auras, including resistance to spells and ranged strikes, which buff allies and are great for holding ground.
Knights can also activate their defenses to the maximum and rush into the core of the enemy formation, confusing and making foes waste their mana trying to stop them. To further devastate the enemy, they can use single target crowd control skills, going straight to the back ranks where conjurers hide, incapacitating them.
Knights are for those who like to take their time and find the right moment to act.
