Fixing Paladins

well that new boss in sea, krexel, is immune to everything, so paladins not welcomed >_>

and isn't that new monster duku that give 5k exp neutral to fire? i never saw a tree that is neutral or immune to fire e_e, i think nexon just roll dices to see what elemental weakness they will give to new monster.

at least, what i can see, only 1 statue of pink bean is immune to all elements, so its still good for paladins

However, that's not all. ACB, as now proven, is faster than Brandish, so take this into account as well.

Only by 30 or 60 milliseconds. It barely makes a difference, in the scheme of things.

Then again, that turns 3000% into 3300%...

5% faster with fast(4)-weapons, 4.2% faster with normal weapons. I don't bother to do the calculations now, but it should be noticeable.

paladins should get something like a mastery built into blast so their single target dmg is very consistent. maybe like a 80% mastery. that would improve single target dmg. or ofcourse the charges buffed.

Heheh.

I remember having an argument with a paladin once and he ended up yelling at me they'd own hero their asses at krexel because it'd be weak to fire.

heh.

That's kinda dumb in the first place because Fire Blast is only 990%.

The only way a Paladin would win at non-holy bosses is if it casts dispel so much that the Hero has to recharge orbs a lot.

The more I think about it, the more I think that a Paladin's charges should be a party skill.

They should remove Sanctuary from our skill set, and replace it with a skill similar to Sharp Eyes. Call it Element Mastery or something like that, and have it be a passive skill. Perhaps it could increase damage of all charges for Paladins by 10% (so 115% Ice, 130% Fire, 135% Lightning, and they could probably reduce Holy so that it'd still be 140% Holy to avoid overpowering Paladins). Secondary effects could include the ability to buff your party with the charges, and at maxed level they'd receive the full % increase (105% Ice, 120% Fire, 125% Lightning, and 130% for the "adjusted" Holy).

Hell, they could nerf ACB and Blast and make us a terrible solo class if they did that, considering everyone and their mother would want to party Paladins if they got a 130% damage increase at Skeles. Decrease ACB to 320% and Blast to 500%, it'd more than balance out.

Of course, Pallys would be even worse at soloing and as a damage outputting class, but with the ability to be a huge supportive class it wouldn't matter.

I say "no" because there's not enough benefits for being a support class this late in the game. Bishops make fine support classes (excluding Genesis LOL) because of Holy Symbol.

I'd say a Paladin (and AMs) has more purpose once Nexon decides to implement monsters that are weak to elements but strong vs. neutral and stuff like that. I think the Q&A mentioned that it's in discussion.
