Why it works here

A knight gets more life from Vitality than any other class. With 1,469 Vitality at level 400 this knight has 5,242 life, and an Energy PK of the same level needs about 6 hits, landing 41 % of the time.

History

Vit BK, the tank: popular in guilds for sieges and for holding monsters while the others hit.
