Gnome Shadow Knight using Innoruuk's Cold Hatred (Epic 2.0)

What to expect from Shadow Knights on EZServer (2023):

First things first, it's NOT recommended to make a Shadow Knight if you intend for it to be your main tank. If you got a special affinity for Shadow Knights, you could make it work somewhat, but in reality the Warrior has higher damage mitigation and just does a much better job at tanking on EZ. In the early years of the server (~2008-2011) the Shadow Knight was often the preferred tank for many players and at that point the SK was in fact a better tank. Today though everyone runs a Warrior as their main tank and for good reasons.

The Shadow Knight does a pretty decent job at being a damage dealer though if you compare it to the other melee classes (except Rogue). Slightly lower than a monk, but slightly higher than Rangers and Berserkers currently. People tend to use 2 handed weapons for their Shadow Knight, i.e. Deathfist People Splitta' and eventually maybe an Ultimate Great Axe XII. The Jailer's Impenetrable Chestplate from bosses in Veeshan's Peak will further increase your damage with the click effect that casts Death II.

The Shadow Knight has two different versions of their Epic Augment, one is a defensive augment, which is the best augment to use, both when tanking and when dealing damage. The reason is it procs a song on you that increases your mitigation, while it also debuffs the target's defense, making it take more damage. The offensive Epic Augment has a damage proc, which when parsed on a Practice Dummy deals less damage overall than if you use your defensive augment.

There are some useful spells for the Shadow Knight on EZ. As in EQ Live, SK's can use Feign Death with a spell called Death Peace. To improve their damage mitigation you may want to use Spell: Cloak of Anarchy and Spell: Armor of the Cursed from Veeshan's Peak. The Call of the Void line of spells will increase your spell damage, but may not stack with all other major items where spell damage is the focus effect. With double Firestrike augments, however, the Call of the Void provides a significant increase in DPS for the SK. There are also three AoE DoTs and an AoE DD that provide a nice boost to DPS with Call of the Void on. The DoTs are the Blood Ablaze, Virulence, and Vile Tightness. The DD is Shy Crustacean's Soul Eater.
