That is only true when they are compared to Heroes and Dark Knights in KMST, and even there they aren't any weak (I believe they are even with DrK's though) However 1 - No one here knows yet if the damage of panic and coma is calculated the same way as it is right now which could turn out into heroes being weaker than what everyone expects, 2 - it's still in testing, it can be changed.
About the idea of giving paladins a party skill that absorbs damage taken by his teammates, I think the skill's idea is great but giving it to a Paladin? i'm not sure. That would definitely make them into the best buffers in the game, and having the best buffs, the best defense and good damage doesn't sound balanced. Replace combat orders with this skill, and give combat orders to bishops (although it'd make more sense given to Heroes, [DrK = HB; Palis = Defense skill; Heroes = CO] but people might complain) and then I would agree
I'm not complaining about being weak at all, I made a White Knight years ago knowing full well how weak I would be. Now that we're stronger, I actually want them to stop handing us such crazy buffs. Hell I think they should shave Blast down to 280% again, and have ACB only deal 600% damage at max. Charged Blow in third job needs to just be something like 500%.Oh and for the love of God, make it so we can't max all of our first, second and third job moves using Combat Orders (make Recovery a 15 point skill or something). I mean seriously, do we really need enough defense to take 1 damage from Oblivions, have all of our skills maxed out prior to level 120, AND hit just as hard as the other warriors?
Oh and about moving Combat Orders. I don't think it should be moved around, that would just cause an uproar amongst all the people that hopped on the Paladin bandwagon during the Balance Patch and Big Bang.
