Unpopular opinion: knight changes are overrated, it hasn’t changed overall.
Most of the knight changes seem focused on improving the experience of people playing with a knight, rather than improving the knight itself.
Outside of tanking more, very little changes. Knights still won’t catch up to mages, paladins, or monks in damage or solo efficiency. The Exori Min rework is nice, but it’s more like a minor improvement rather than a meaningful change .
For solo knights using two-handed weapons, almost nothing changes. If you use a one-handed weapon with a shield, sure, maybe you can tank a full box in places like Gnomprona, but then what?
EKs will still deal the lowest damage and remain one of the most painful vocations to play solo.
Conclusion: the mid ish meat shield with a ok ish exeta res spell is now a good meat shield that can do big exera res.
