Warrior/Knight Help Is a Buff Magical Knight Valid?

Hello! I am returning to Wynncraft after a few years (I played back before the Economy update, back when grinding CSST was the meta) and I was wondering if maxing both defense and intelligence on a knight is a good idea.
I've always loved using spells and I'm playing with a party that needs a tank so I want to have defense. So players of wynncraft, I want to know if anyone advises against it, or has any advice they would like to share!

 

int and def are one of the best skills

 

Intel and Def aren't bad, they changed strength/dexterity to be a multiplicative skills but if you are going for a tank in a group, the damage is unneeded. I recommend very heavily to use a Strobelight in your build(fabled necklace, might be a little pricy due to its' level range) or signal flare(Legendary boots, these are dex/def so you might not be able to max both def and intel) as it provides +Taunt on your warscream. If you are playing tank in a group, you could sacrifice most of your damage just to be a Taunt / Rally(heal on charge for 0 damage to you and allies, another dex/def piece of armor named Infernal Impulse). Pair that with your high intelligence and you will have Aggro majority of the time if you cast warscream every few seconds. Just a heads up that intelligence also cannot reduce your spell costs past 129, so no real reason to put all of your skillpoints into it if you've reached that threshold. Place the rest into agility for even more tank.

 

Spell warrior is perfectly viable and meta in many places. Here's an example build:
