Grail Knight/Builds

.

Overview
Markus Kruber's Grail Knight career draws a comparison similar to Bardin's Slayer career, as both are explicitly melee-focused and can become a force to be reckoned with, and tough to take down with specific build-crafting and talents. When it comes to ranged combat, however, the Grail Knight must rely on their allies in order to deal with priority targets at a distance.

With a health pool of 150 (before bonuses), the Grail Knight possesses a strong, and sustainable, lifeforce, more so with talents such as Lady's Wrath to grant him temporary health on melee kill in the heat of combat, and shrugging off blows and regenerating half of the damage as temporary health with Virtue of Stoicism. Even on higher difficulties, a Grail Knight in the midst of hordes can sustain himself and equally dish out damage with an arsenal that is both flexible and unyielding.

Blessed Blade deals immense damage with a relatively-quick cooldown, even to heavily-armoured foes such as Stormvermin and Chaos Warriors let alone Monsters (in addition to heavily staggering), allowing them to be dispatched with ease, or for patrols to not be as disastrous when bombs or firepower become scarce. Combine this with the ability to further increase its lethality on hardy foes or Monsters/Lords with Virtue of Audacity, or to demolish multiple foes at once with the cleaving power of Virtue of Confidence.

Unique to the Grail Knight, one is capable of completely negating the effects of a Warpfire Thrower's flamethrower by actively blocking the attack with a shield - the weapon of choice  must  have a shield in the off-hand. This can allow the team to easily overcome one should they find themselves in tight spaces or corners, as the Grail Knight can easily draw attention or shield their allies while they work to dispose of it.
