[1.2.381] The Wind

I don't see how their power doesn't increase as much as other classes when the biggest factor in your damage (potential) is percentage based. Mages have one more potential source compared to a lot of other classes, too...(shields)

Staff and Wand multipliers. While I'm aware this applies to F/P and I/L mages, they have better means of providing overall damage output compared to bishops.

You forgot my quote. :<
...and bishops get spell booster after Jump...

When compared to other classes in-game, Paladins are not nearly as powerful as they are on paper, unless given the perfect scenarios.

I didn't forget your quote. You edited it after I posted my response. And yes, they require those scenarios, but more often than not, they have access to a number of scenarios to choose from. And if memory serves right, this isn't a problem at all in Monster Park outside of a poorly designed zone Nexon made containing monsters of no elemental attributes.

A lot of higher leveled mobs are resistant to a certain element and weak to Poison. wtp Poison, the one element we don't get. >:T

But either way, I've grown bored discussing this so I'll just say this.
People still main Bishops on KMS, and while yes, people may use them as just replaceable mules, that doesn't mean that a good Bishop can't be a contributing factor to a party past buffs.

You've edited again. =.=

That scenario is poor design on Nexon's part, and through no fault of the Paladin class itself.

I never said they aren't a contribution past party buffs. I'm saying the contribution they give is minimal through damage.
