Dark Knight

Overview

Dark Knight is the first custom class introduced on Trifecta RO. It's based on Ragnarok DS, Ragnarok Tactics(PSP), other various forms of media unrelated to RO, and my own ideas spun into the mix.

To learn any skill, you must learn the passive "From the Void", which disables natural SP regeneration. SP is regenerated by using Blood Crush, Drain, Creeping shadow, or consumables, and is meant to be used as a sort of special meter, similar to how AP functions on fourth job classes. After that one passive, all other skills are free to learn without a skill tree. This is to allow for highly customizable builds, and opens up the class to both simple and complex builds depending on what the user wants.

Dark Knight has multiple different builds and playstyles, which are shaped by the passive you choose to take.
Only one of the following passives may be utilized at the same time, picking multiple will negate all bonuses.

Dark Blade

The DPS passive.

Adds a portion of your MATK and magical damage multiplier to physical attacks. Also increases damage dealt to enemies with a status ailment (stuff like blind or poison)
This allows you to use magical damage equipment on top of the normal melee, range, physical and critical damage. Please note that this only applies to MAGICAL DAMAGE and not magical multipliers (stuff like spellcasting, or shadow magic +10% DO NOT APPLY).

Since you deal extra damage versus targets with status ailments, this means your best party mates are ones that can apply status ailments like blind, poison, etc. A full list will be added later, but it covers nearly anything that can be considered a debuff.
Classes like soul linker, dancer, some monk builds and assassins make great party members that highly compliment this playstyle.

Arcane Arts

The tank passive. Reduces damage taken from all size enemies depending on skill level. This passive synergizes with certain skills to allow for extreme survivability.

Shadow Mastery

The summon passive. Increases the amount of shadows you're allowed to have out. Increases control, and increases stats on your shadow lord.
