Defense vs. Resistance

[vicheron]

Black Knights already have 30% physical resistance while Executioners only have 10% physical resistance. With stone skin, Black Knights get 70% physical resistance. You add in some physical resistance items and Black Knights become almost invulerable.

not really .. stil casters with magic damage can hurt them, never forget that ..

Exactly. Archmagi, Gorguanas, Evil Eyes, Beholders, Red/Black Dragons, and all kinds of units with fire/magic damage hurt them a lot. In such cases, some items that improve the resistances the black knights is weak against, works wonders.

Previously on my mage, I got all the magic resistance gears so it works out great with the Black Knight. This time, the pally has the best two pieces of physical resistance. I want to beat the game (with no loss ofcourse) some other way beside BK, and I really like the idea of one unit army - much less micro managment. I played KB with just vampires with no loss, which was great fun. This time I love units with unlimited retaliation (BK, Griffins, Exec..), since they make the fights much shorterrrrrrr. As you can tell, I like efficient army...
