Deathknight

Demonic Circle
Brutality • Necromancy • Smithing

The skill of Brutality contains the main offensive abilities of the Diavlous. It can be thought of as consisting of four distinct categories. The first group gives them their sword abilities, such as doubleslash and the brutal disembowel. Next is the use of their terrible war-hounds, the deadly companion often found at a Diavlous' side. Brutality also holds the techniques of archery, which when combined with their swordplay makes the Diavlous treacherous foes indeed. Lastly, there are a number of miscellaneous offensive and defensive capabilities, such as their ability to go into a fantastic rage.
