Hi guys,

Thanks, would be glad to provide more info if required

Honestly, it would depend on what style of Knight/Lord Knight you'd prefer. Brandish Spear is useful for applying status effects and doing decent damage as a Vit/Str hybrid with a bit of dex, meaning it's a lot more straightforward, even though how the splash works on Brandish Spear is weird to me. Basically, Knight 1 is just fine, just get status inflicting cards if you are planning on doing that.

Bowling Bash, on the other hand, has more potential damage, but more nuances as to how the skill itself works. The stat build is a little bit more complex, too, since Bowling Bash relies on being able to hit the enemy. Since that is the case, you would see a build with Str, Dex, Agi, and Vit. Str and Dex are priority, while Vit and Agi are a bit more secondary, but still very much recommended to spam Bowling Bash and to be able to survive long enough to dish out the hurt. The only problem I see with your build is that you don't have enough Dex, and pumped Agi wayyy too much, considering that you have two-handed Quicken as well as access to Berserk Potions.

Personally, I prefer a 2-handed Bowling Bash Lord Knight with Parry, but that's just me. That's why I can really only give help on Knight 2. (This is assuming that Knight 1 is supposed to be a Brandish Spear based build, and Knight 2 is supposed to be a two-handed Bowling Bash build.)

Basically, ask yourself 2 questions:
1. Are you planning on maining Lord Knight? If so, what will he be for, PvE, or PvP?
2. Would you prefer to be a tanky status inflicter, or would you sacrifice some tankiness for damage potential?

Thank you for the reply.The original plan was to make a tanking type knight (knight 1) and a damaging type (Knight 2) so I created the two knights.I was thinking of transitioning into lord knight first and then go for rune knight. I wouldn't mind maining one of the knights as a lord knight if there are any positives.

You are assuming right Knight 1 is supposed to be a Brandish Spear based build, and Knight 2 is supposed to be a two-handed Bowling Bash build

Are the selected skills good enough to carry forward or should the skill points have been invested in some other skill?
Is it possible/required to do a reset?
I would be grateful for any help with either of the knights.

Oh, I completely forgot about the 3rd jobs. Kinda forgot this was Renewal, somehow.

But yeah, with both builds, the skills you have invested can carry over into Rune Knight pretty well. Especially if you incorporate Ignition Break, Dragon Breath, and Enchant Blade, as well as good use of your runes. 

Support/active spells like Concentration, and Parrying carry over very well into Rune Knight as well, as they are still your main buffs. Not too sure about Aura Blade. 

It IS possible to do a reset, it really depends on what server you are on though, and if they have a resetter NPC. The only character I'd say to REALLY reset (and it's not in terrible need of a reset. You just need to play carefully with pots ) is Knight 2, since it has a lot of agi, and is slightly lacking in Dex and Str. Otherwise, you are fine.

If you have any further questions, feel free to PM me.
