Classes/Blackguard
From AeonRO
| Not all operations require the foolishness of a head-on assault. Much the same, cloak and dagger will hardly see you through to the end of all journeys. It is the joining of the two that sees the birth of a truly skilled combatant, and one to be feared in the light of day, and by the dark of night. Blackguards are those warriors. They walk the line of gray between the seen and unseen, and are practitioners of both. Through them, the mightiest of men might see their demise. Life is a privilege Blackguards are skilled in taking at whim. Most importantly, they will do anything to see through a given goal; whether the ends justify the means is not a concern for a Blackguard, only that the ends are achieved, and efficiently. |
Advances from Crusader and Assassin.

Not all operations require the foolishness of a head-on assault. Much the same, cloak and dagger will hardly see you through to the end of all journeys. It is the joining of the two that sees the birth of a truly skilled combatant, and one to be feared in the light of day, and by the dark of night. Blackguards are those warriors. They walk the line of gray between the seen and unseen, and are practitioners of both. Through them, the mightiest of men might see their demise.

Pros: They afford more stealth than a traditional Crusader, and employ the negative factor of Erg and Eko energy as a polar opposite to the Crusader. They are skilled in one on one situations, and try to play this into their favor as much as possible.
Cons: Because of their stealthy nature, they sacrifice the use of heavy armor for light. They are strong, and agile, but do not excel in both and find themselves at a short coming in melee situations. Due to being masters of negative energy, they are incapable of healing small wounds with their Erg and Eko manipulation as a crusader can.
