Dark Knight (Fighter 8/Blackguard 4/Weapon Master 28)

Notes from DA's Build Guide

- A heavy-hitter with high saving throws. A bad duelist. Good for PvE. Would require some finesse in CTF PvP and Open World PvP due to its below-average HP.

- 600 HP. This is the Grey Knight's biggest weakness.

- 40/31/29 Fortitude/Reflex/Will. Excellent saving throws and you can cap any of them against DC spells. 60 Fortitude cap means you have decent Stunning Fist resistance.

- 61 AB. +2 Aid/Bless = 63 AB. Short term buffs (Divine Favor and Prayer) will bring you to 67 AB (equal to a True Weapon Master).

- Divine Might gives you +8 Divine Damage and Divine Favor gives you +3 Magic Damage for a total of +11 unresistable damage. There are numerous enemies in high-end PvE where this will make you a superior damage dealer compared to other melee builds.

- Similar to the Dark Knight, my advice is to treat the Grey Knight more like a skirmisher and hit targets of opportunity instead of face-tanking enemies. Don't try to face-tank a Weapon Master in a crit-duel because they have a huge HP advantage and they will win more than 50% of the time.

- Consider dropping STR to 14 and raising CON to 10 and taking Blind Fight at level 36. You lose -1 AB and -2 STR, however.

- Gear: +12 STR/CON/CHA, Haste, Fortitude. Saving Throws and Discipline as needed.
