[1.2.355] More balancing

Link to where Stereo said this? I'd like to see the maths on why Paladins aren't Pwn-adins as they are hyped to be.

I haven't said exactly that, but they are still very weak on neutral stuff compared to Heroes (Brave Slash does almost the same damage to 3 targets that Blast can to 1 target) It's about 26% stronger with Holy, 20% stronger with Fire, 11% stronger with Ice, 8% stronger with Lightning weak mobs, factoring in everything except ignore wdef.

The ignore wdef is still in need of testing, eg. how Threaten + Blast's inherent 20% stack. If I'd had ACB on Tespia it would have been fairly easy to test - but damage ranges were so big that it would be tricky to check that 5% vs. 4.4% wdef decrease. From what I did on my Hero, it seemed like it was a chance to ignore all wdef - so it was 10% @ 60%, 0% @ 40%.

Anyway, you only need 1 Paladin at a boss to Threaten and then every class gets it. It won't help DrKs, but it should help Heroes (70% or 58% reduction in def depending how it stacks)

So then you need to look into party composition - is it better to bring 1 Paladin and 4 Heroes, or 5 Paladins, or 5 Heroes, etc.



Am I right in thinking Anego's the only Holy-weak boss with more than 100k hp? Or have they added another? I mean, if it's a question of Scarlion and Pianus, then you should compare using Fire weakness if anything. BF and Anego have taken pretty hefty nerfs.
