I wonder if this topic has popped up before, but here are my two cent worth.
My first instinct when playing BD is to set the Dark Knight up as the tanker - the guy who will bear the brunt of the damage. But after sometime, I conclude that the DK might be better as a ranged support or a spellcaster. Why?
1. The DK is vulnerable to Spirtual Damage. The Hero gains resistance to Spirtual Damage as he increases in Attribute, but not the DK. A couple of Skeleton Mages is able to bring my DK with just a few whacks.
2. The DK's armour value is tied to his level. Not so for the Hero. If the Hero has weaker strength because he has to be a wizard or an archer, he loses out all on the armour.
3. The DK seems to be slower than the Hero. Not sure if it is just because the DK looks heavier. But from the demo it seems that the Hero swings faster than the DK.
What are your thought on this?
