Shadow Knight

[Sairyx]

The following build is my Shadow Knight build. It takes advantage of Tempest I for TWF DPS and Defender of Siberys for Tanking, as well as having the ability to us displacement from the Dragonmark. I'm not sure if the build will be able to be main tank in the hardest raids, but with excellent saves and strong versatility this build has proven very effective. I'd be happy to hear any feedback you may have.
