First of all, thank you for clicking on my guide, it really means a lot, so lets just get right into this guide to the Explorer warrior branch known as Dark Knight!
Explorer Warriors are one of the 5 job branches you can choose as an explorer, the other 4 being Magician, Thief, Bowman and Pirate. Warriors are the beefier melee class of the Explorer job branch, with each different type of warrior bringing their own unique skills and play style to the game.
When you first get your choice of job branches when you hit lvl 30, you are faced with 3 options, Fighter (which later becomes Hero), Page (which later becomes Paladin) and finally, Spearman (which later becomes Dark Knight) the reason you came to this guide.
Dark Knight is what Id like to call the in between of Hero and Paladin. Where Paladin has extreme tankiness and immunity, and Heros have a more glass cannon style where they do large amounts of damage per second, Dark Knight falls just in between that, with a larger health pool, a health restoring summon and some extra built in survivability, along side a high damage, fast attacking skill that's great for singular bosses, Dark Knight is the perfect middle ground between the End-all Tank that is Paladin, and the Massive-Damage Hero class.
Now, lets get into theProsandCons of Dark Knight
Pros:
Larger amount of AoE skills for training in 4th job and beyond
A strong bossing skill in Gungir's Descent
100% Stance passive
Free stats from Evil Eye summon
Health restoring abilities
Final Pact!
Cons:
Highly inflated range
Low Mobility
No monster debuffs or helpful party buffs
A slower start than Heros and Paladin have pre 4th job
Needs to chain Evil Eye skills for maximum uptime while bossing
Requires Attack speed and Buff Duration for maximum optimization
Maplestory Final Dmg Vs Damage 2017

May 17, 2019 2) If I’m losing 55% of my current damage, but 55% of my final damage is being boosted, do I come out doing more damage, or less damage? Basically this boils down to how does% Damage scale vs.% Final Damage, which skill is better, and why does this.
- A MapleStory project since 2015. The MapleStory Damage Range Calculator has been reworked. Visit bit.ly/maplestorycalculators for the updated version.
- Total Damage% adds that much to your damage. For example, my skis have 6% total damage. So basically, it takes whatever I hit (since I'm skill-less) and after the damage is calculated, raises it by 6%. So although my maximuim is 4834, I could in theory hit 5000 damage. Attack% I believe only counts for the weapon itself, not your total weapon.
- Hey ppl, anyone knows how%elemental affects the final dmg? Since the wep cap is 6% and Total/Boss is 3% (2H), i guess it calculated different, not sure I've seen ppl saying that Total Dmg = Boss Dmg, idk if its true either. OBS: I'm not asking if its good for X class, im asking how it affects the dmg of elemental skills!
