Yeah, in the case of Rellik especially, just stand on him and take touch damage... it's not pot efficient but it gets the job done a lot quicker. Margana is in domain of the ranged classes due to being isolated + short ranged (you can stay out of range of her attacks and use no pots), so is Hsalf (barely - it helps to have someone using Rush), and as long as someone's pinning Nirg, I can avoid his attacks and still hit constantly (on my NL).
Paladins kinda suffer from the small mob problem right now, their strongest attack is
- 6 targets
- elemental
- extremely short ranged (as far as I know it's the shortest ranged attack used in 4th job, except maybe BoT)
- stuns
With 2-3hko it's very much useless to be able to hit 6 targets, or even stun for that matter, with maybe... 6+ hits to KO it gains a noticeable advantage over other attacks. Boomerang Step and some of the Buccaneer skills have this same problem - they are good skills but there's just not a good basis for using them when other classes 1-2hko and don't need to stun.
Bosses also turn all of these "features" into disadvantages, with their single target, frequently neutral, and unstunnable status. For the most part they also do short ranged high powered attacks and some bosses (Anego, Bigfoot, Black Crow, Headless Horseman) are completely unable to hit ranged classes.
While I'd like to see a rebalancing of the 4th job classes, it's not something I'm expecting, and led to me starting a variety of characters, so I can take advantage of the patches Nexon does give to us. I've soloed Pianus on my WK, and Bigfoot on my Hermit, and neither of them can do both.
