[1.2.279] Skill nerfs this time

Yay 92k ACB! xD 2 hit KOing up to (rushed) mobs of 6...now that makes me feel that I'm on par with AMs using ults there. >=D

EDIT: Dang it, based on some new calculations and videos on the latest official KMS...it seems that the updates are actually not that over the top as we thought.

Quoted by Van from SW.net...it seems that the current formula for Paladins is as follows:

1) Charges will be multiplicative at their normal bases. (1.5 Holy * 1.25 Lightning)

2) Only 1 Elemental Advantage is calculated. (You won't get a double elemental advantage bonus with Fire and Lightning at Regret mobs even though they share both weaknesses)

3) Elemental Advantage seems to be lowered to 125%. (Instead of the 1.5x modifier, this becomes 1.25x)

4) Dual Charging overall increases damage for all Pally skills and situations. It essentially gives up some of a Pally's elemental advantage for more damage on neutral mobs.

Guess Anegos still belong to BMs.

But again. What this DOES mean for Paladins is that they are way stronger on neutral mobs, but because there is only a 25% elemental boost, it means they are not so reliant on elemental advantages in order to maximize damage. Of course, 1,359% damage per Blast at Anego (comapared to previously 1155%) is still nothing to scoff at. Mixed blessings, or finally made Paladins where they belong, using elementals to attack enemies (stronger fighting neutral mobs), but aren't screwed like AMs/Bishops when the enemy is strong to one element (that's where the 25% elemental advantage boost comes in. Paladin's damage is far more stable in the range it can vary than it was before)? Of course, I wouldn't mind a duo weakness boost, so either way it works in favor of the Paladin.

Note of course Heroes Brandish does 988% per target in the time it takes to do a single Blast. 1,015%~1087.5% Blasts > 988% Brandishes. If there is ever even one single elemental weakness on the boss, it's game over for the Hero for sure. The only way Heroes can beat Paladins now is if there's a boss that hates both Holy and Fire so they are forced to use Ice + Lightning Charge on a neutral mob (797% Ice/Lit on neutral). Then of course add the fun of ACB. 612%~656% per hit on neutral mobs (compared to 490% before), to 765%~820% on elementally weak (previously 735%) . Again I am calculating with both Fire/Lit and Holy/Lit charges.
