There really is almost never any reason to dump 200k on a twink.

When you do it should be CoF and Fungi and those are extremely interchangeable between twink classes.

I always lol at the people who twink their monks with tranix crowns and RBGs when they already have a CoF.

Weapon, Fungi, Haste. After that spend maybe 500-1k a piece on gear, not 25-30k BS.

Um, you're thinking too much about haste and not enough about stats. RBG has some really really good stats on it. If I had the platinum to buy CoF/RBG, I would, not because of the haste of the RBG but because of the stats it has. I can't think of a better bought belt for stats than RBG.

If you ask me, when it comes to twinking a new melee character there's really only three things are going to make a significant and noticeable difference — a haste item, a fungi, and a good weapon.

Those are "the big 3."

This is true for the most part. But maxing stats makes a large difference if you've ever maxed stats on a twink before. I mean, why do you see so many ogre SKs around instead of darkelves?

Think of it as charity, Zanderr!

SKs are fun... but you definitely can't be a person who needs to look at their xp bar after every kill, or you'll never last to level through 45 let alone 59.

Fungi tunic. 67k
Sash of the Dragonborn 9k
Ebon Mace 6k
Atramentous shield 2.5k
Deathbringer's Rod .5k
Earring of Essence 4k
Crested Spauldors?
Circlet of Shadow 3-5k
Black Sapphire Electrum Earring 2k
Black Sapphire platinum necklace 2.3k
Plat Fire Wedding rings .5k
Fill up the rest of the slots with Darkforge or whatever.

120k or 2k worth of gear, SKs of equal level are going to more or less perform the same in a group. 5 star agro, 3 star tanking, 5 star resentment from group mates over exp penalty. I'd say Fungi and a decent weapon. Some haste. HF soloing.

Bull shit.

15 hp regen per tick that stacks with buffs is enormous from 1-30, huge from 30-40, and still pretty significant 40+ especially depending on the group makeup. The rest of the gear isn't as big of a deal though, true.

I don't think we disagree, and I am largely referring to grouping. That's where a SK shines. Not a very good solo class.

I think most SK twinks quit at 54 or even before that. That might change with the removal of class penalties

We're not arguing whether or not a fungi is good. But when it comes down to it, knights are just spell casters with a moderately high HP pool and access to high AC stuff. You can't throw items on a spell caster to make them better. A SK with enough support can do his or her role naked and unarmed. You probably wouldn't notice much of a DPS drop.

So when I say it doesn't matter what you put on your SK, I mean it. Nice things are nice to have, but the only (very) good thing about this class is a 10 mana spell.
That doesn't take much gear.
