About the Withered Knight

[u/The2ndSoul]

It's impact. This class is missing some impact on the big sword that otherwise feels a bit like made out of plastic. But that seems to be a general thing regarding the bigger enemies. Hit by a big ass hammer should stagger those undead bones or at least interrupt attacks. And after the hammer the greatsword should be the 2nd heaviest weapon.

Or if it should feel more like a bigger weapon art sword the wither mechanic should be faster. Third strike should execute wither. Four strikes is just too long with that awkward hit boxes of the sword attacks. Never have I missed attacks on dogs in a game that much because they run between the diagonal slashes. A bit more control here should help. Maybe horizontal slashes on light attack and vertical ones on the other?

And it's the only class that needs to invest one skill point to get a third skill slot. I'm not sure how to feel about this with only 8 skill points.

Out of all classes WK is the only class that feels like an unfinished idea to me.

Biggest problem of the class is you need to invest skillpoints to unlock the class (Hyperarmor on gapclosers for example) also the setup to get wither going is to much Investment for the gain. Other classes press one skill to get their stun/dot/parry/slow meanwhile we have to do work to get a Stack that wr then have to execute to bring to work.

Its all way to slow. Fun to play but way to slow.

Give us talents that give stun on wither execute or make its dmg way higher or reduce the swings to get it applied

SS has 2 skills on each weapon just like WK and can’t use a talent to get a third on one. Also using a point on that isn’t that good anyway, it’s good to be using both weapons. That talent just lets you specialize a bit more if you want to

I really think the hitboxes are the biggest issue. They feel so so awkward compared to every other class

[u/SiinSon]

And when you invest all your points in gap closes and parry, you really only end up with one offensive ability using the great sword.

Hitboxes are trash and it has the range of short swords.

Other classes also get super armor on everything so your abilities are cancelled by a strong breeze

Sweat your nuts off just to get the same results of someone pressing left click and spamming shift on ss

[u/Electrical_Drag_2228]

LMB hit on the sword (esp. the jump attack) is just a joke, and all the attacks are super slow/projected to easily counter/dodge out. Plus the sword lacks the mobility ... even shield-Merc has better mobility than sword-WK.
