[1.2.320] Massive Buff

Having Paralyze hit a mob 6 times each just doesn't make sense. It DOES make sense as a mobbing AoE, as the two eyes in the animation are equally spaced on either side of the character. Chain Lightning, however, is LIGHTNING. As the basic concept of lightning is that it's an electrical discharge down a "ladder of steps of ionized air," it would make sense that CL can hit a single mob 10 times. On the other hand, Paralyze was original named Medusa Eyes, or something along the line. It's modeled after Medusa, who was said to COMPLETELY turn a living organism to stone with a single glance. Not six equal sections of the body freezing simultaneously.

Believe me, I would LOVE to see Paralyze hit multiple times, as it's (a) our strongest single target DPS skill, and (b) well-known that the more hits on a single mob per skill, the higher the overall average DPS. Therefore, I think for Paralyze to operate as a multi-hit single target skill, the animation would need to change to feature more eyes, or at least to something different from what it is now. I don't know exactly WHAT that is, but the bottom line is the logic doesn't quite fit for Paralyze being a multi-hit skill.

True, but wouldn't the change of Medusa to the Gorgon Sisters solve that?

Medusa, Stheno, and Euryale were each able to turn a creature into stone with a single glance.

3 Sisters = 6 Eyes = Paralyze can hit 6 times
