Baklava Wrote:It's tanking related because they regain HP faster than they take damage.That's not tanking. By that definition, Clerics are tanks.
Baklava Wrote:Lol I'm being smug? Excuse me for making a mistake. I'm just saying it like it is, having more pure dodge rate helps more when the monster will one-hit you no matter how much HP or defense you have. :lYes, adding a 'derp' after you've been corrected is being smug.
And a dodge rate only helps for as often as the dodge rate activates. Should it fail against a monster that will OHKO you, you will die.
For that reason, defense is superior as the hypothetical situation you have presented simply doesn't exist.
Baklava Wrote:The thing is, since when are paladins expected to be attackers in a boss party? Threaten, Combat Orders, and sweeping up mobs, that's basically their job at this point in time.Why are we suddenly talking about boss parties?
Baklava Wrote:Perfect being bosses like Papulatus and Pianus where they're elementally weak and don't summon any obstructions that directly get in your way. I didn't know Blast had 20% defense ignore, slipped my mind.Papulatus is not weak to any element.
Also, summoned mobs can't get in the way of Blast.
Baklava Wrote:I should just stop arguing on SP because this is dumb. Paladins don't do their job of being the "party shield", and some classes can survive better than them, that's the bottom point.No, you should just stop making pomegranate up.
The only class that survives better than a Paladin are Demon Slayers.
Paladins have also never been tasked with being a "party shield"; that's just what people would like them to be.
