Threaten actually does work on all bosses including Pink Bean. You just have to keep using it till it does work. Remember Threaten is only activated 50% of the time now, so it won't always work right away. And as far as Paladins not being bossers?
Yeah Paladin's really no better now than Dark Knights and Heroes now, except when a boss throws up a Attack Block skill and all that can punch through is Heaven's Hammer, or the boss has a elemental weakness that can be exploited. Actually Paladins are often now highly requested at bosses to reduce overall damage dealt using Threaten and popping Hammer out on occasion while being a high HP seduce mule. Yeah, go to any high level boss that deals more than 6,000 damage without a Paladin and you'll want one tagging along very quickly. So I guess they are quite useful for bossing after all, if not a recommend part of your strategy.
I consider myself a good boss hunter actually even though I'm a bit more eccentric in my Paladin build than most other people and still use DEX (upon which I'm waiting for Nexon to repair the accuracy formula will find useful) and my damage isn't as good as other people think it should be (I don't complain about my damage oddly and neither does my guild). I'm now requested a lot for Zakum and Scarlion currently with my guild too. Maybe it's the fact Hammer does 999,999 damage now, my now higher HP levels due to the reworked HP Boost skill, I usually can find a a weakness and exploit it, or that Threaten drains the power out of the boss's attacks and Magic Crash stops certain defense skills from being used by the boss.
Back to the original topic:
Lion Heart Castle isn't going to be everything people think it is actually. In fact we don't even know how long we'll have to wait till we get it. Could be 1 patch, could be 10 patches, could even be never. I do agree that areas are still in need of better adjustments regarding EXP at higher levels and that some mobs still need to give more than they do.
They actually could make major bosses stronger again and have them dish out high levels of EXP as well as a bonus.
It's either that or re-add 4 hour 2x EXP Cards to the Cash Shop...
