The Blackguard is a pure melee DPS. They wield dual daggers and use the shadows to attack their foes. They wear chain armor granting high hitpoints, moderate endurance and moderate armor. The Blackguard may be an assassin in training, but they have plenty of deadly strikes and are not meant to be trifled with. Experience Blackguards can coat their daggers with poison allowing for extra damage. This job class can be quite difficult to play as they have no healing abilities, but that is made up by plenty of abilities that allow the Blackguard to quickly kill their foe. The Blackguard eventually ascends into the Assassin.
