Dark Knight Evie help

• Intex wrote on 2011-06-25 06:00
  I took Dark Knight as my path for my Evie (I have all staff and scythe skills but I'm playing more staff). Since I am pretty good with survival I want to get a ton of damage rather than balanced defenses.
  
  The skill descriptions are really bad and my guild mates are giving mixed responses so I'm wondering about these few:
  1) How good is steal? My guild mates said it's very good since it provides unlimited attack and can get you to damage cap used continuously.
  
  2) Is firestorm a good choice? It looks like it'd be pretty bad since you're usually only dealing with one boss.
  
  3) I'm planning on maxing potential but will I hit the max cap if I max steal and att (or less)?
  
  4) Should I build some health at least? My guild mates are recommending to have balance and not insane attack with no defense.
  
  Mostly I'm worried about running out of points and hitting the damage cap. If you guys have any recommended skill paths and any experiences to share, they'd be greatly appreciated.

  1. Steal is debateable, the additional attack could be worth it. But I think the general consesus is that a point or two is enough.
  2. Firestorm isn't very useful as you've said, the only reason to get it is a point to continue with the tree (forget what's the last projectile skill for DK).
  3. Hitting the cap should be allevieted by future content, so this is one thing I would not worry about at all.
  4. I'd say yes. The +1500 HP provided by 3 points into the skill will save you when you get hit (since it happens to everyone). Otherwise your transform will only improve your stamina pool by 50 and give you the other benefits. The last thing you want happening is to eat a random hit from Titan or Thor and ending up dead on the floor, wasting part of your trans.
