Barbaneth Beoulve - The Heavenly Knight

Mentioned in another thread, I thought I'd post this to see thoughts on what this class is capable of? I'm rather curious on what you guys think it would shape up to be lol

Even detailed info like raw stats and blade abilties interest me lol. Wonder if this guy would of had Teleport 2... or maybe it would be Teleport 3 lol??

I don't see what improvement Teleport 3 would be, considering Teleport 2 has a range of the entire map and a 100% success rate. *shrugs*

I'm inclined to guess that the Heavenly Knight class would be Orlandeu's Sword Saint class plus instant cast White Magic and Zalbaag's 'Ruin' attacks. For anyone not familiar with Zalbaag's sword skills, they're somewhat similar to those available to generic knights, but are much more potent. They have a short charge time, like a spell, have a four panel range, and like most spells, they affect more than one tile (and do damage at the same time, if my memory of them is correct). Speaking in terms of raw stats, it's difficult to top a Sword Saint, but he might see a greater magic power and MP growth rates.

I know I've seen translation discussions on this in the past, wondering if Heavenly Knight was an actual title/class or just a mistranslation of something that would be comparable to Orlandu. My gut says that it's a title higher than Holy Swordsman, which is already loaded skillwise and there's not too many ways to improve except increased stats and maybe even more abilities (Ruin Sword, maybe Use Hand and Limit?). Either way, I'm sure Balbanes was quite the battlefield devil...just seeing him duke it out with Orlandu would be a sight to behold.
