Himan - The sword is set aflame, constantly decreasing enemy’s HP and P./ M. Def.. Dark Elf - The sword becomes imbued with lightning energy. Temporarily makes the enemy unable to attack. which works better? in pvp and pve,I have a dilemma over human and Dark elf.
the Flame blade works basicly like Hex but with a greater debuff ratio( i'd say about -30% p.def/m.def ) and an additional bleed effect. the Lightning blade stops the enemy from attacking and using skills. both of them are trigger skills, wich means you have a chance to proc the debuff while attacking/using your own skills. the main difference is that while the Human's one allows you to randomly do greater burst damage, the other one will give you better survival chances in the long run. however, Dark Elfs also have their own Hex, plus another Hex effect coming from Bone Cage. stacking those 2 skills together with Hellfire will lead to far greater amounts of damage when timed properly, making Dark Elf DK actually more reliable in terms of costant damage and damage output compared to Human DK. they also have a higher base STR by default, plus passive skills that increase critical rate/damage. Power Break also reduces the enemy p.atk, crippling physical classes even more. long story short: Human DK is mostly good for group play, and doesn't require much adena in terms of skillbooks. D.Elf DK works for every situation, but is more expensive when it comes to skillbooks due to having more debuffs to learn.
