Notes and Tips About Knight
Notes: A more tank-oriented class than the Warrior, he trades some magic and attack stats for extra HP and dodging ability. This makes close combat a little easier but increases the levels necessary for learning spells. They have no particular strengths, but do START with a better sword. Though they don't start with a shield (probably because they're meant to start off 2 handing), it's easy to obtain the Crimson Parma or buy the Silver Eagle Kite Shield from Maughlin the Armorer. Intelligence and Attunement are slightly lower than Warrior, Faith on the other hand is one point higher than Warrior, invest 6 more Attunement and Faith to use Heal.

AnonymousFeel like “Mercenary” would’ve been a more logical name given the nature of the Falconers being mercenaries for hire. That, or the Knight set should’ve been the armor.

It's sort of feels like knight and mage are basically best min/max classes. And at the same time they are good overall. Mage is obvious choice for mages due to lowest faith. And knight has 3 int which is exactly you need to buy some boss weapons so you don't waste even one point you won't use. DS1 had way more balanced classes in that regard

The best part about picking a knight instead of a warrior is starting out with 8 dex so no one will think you're going to make a simp dex build

It's interesting to note that the "knight" class starts with the Falconer Set, when the lore of the Falconers says that they aren't even knights. They work generally as mercenaries and bodyguards for hire amongst nobility. This is strange, especially considering that the "Knight Set" is in the game, and you can always buy Falconer armor from Maughlin early on.

Dark souls 2 is my first dark souls game and I had chosen knight because it has the most health and seemed pretty well balanced

The BEST class if you want to be good at offense and defence

It takes more points to lvl up the Warrior to get the stats it's missing that the Knight starts with, than it'd take for the Knight to do the same for what it's missing that the Warrior has. The Soul Lvl difference isn't enough. Therefore the warrior is a crappy starting class compares to the Knight.
Should have a shield.
