How to fix hh mules without screwing over paladins

Make it like post big bang where on bosses you do a certain %, perhaps like blast 600% so funded paladin can stil ldestroy on bosses with HH, and make it go back to 10 secs why not. Mules are dead now:

 

I see OP's concern based, since HH's description involves % of hit just like Blast or any other attacking skill. Means that main Pallies that chose to pump main stats (STR/DEX) will hit (hard) as intended.

Now I can't speak for everyone, but wouldn't all of the current HH mule users just remake their HH mules but with str this time? Certainly the pot cost would be much higher, but the extra DPM is still very much worth it.

 

I think capping HH at 200k or so is needed to balance this job (Yeah, don't forget some extra thick numbers dealt to a single target) whilst implementing % on damage as description suggests. As I view it, LUK pallies are just a form of outsmarting and are totally mules. Capping HH to 50k hurts these mules but overkills users that chose to main Pallies. I rather have a mule suffer than a main and that's very logical. (mules can still become mains; the feature of resetting is present!)

 

I'm completely agree with making HH mule with understable amount of effort. before nerf, making lv.130 HH mules with luk-pumped, using very small amounts of pots, and doing massive dmg compared with other classes where are similar status, NO. But making a genuine pally 160+ which is ready to HT normally, and using it as mule, with multiclienting, why not? it's effort enough to do that, and should be rewarded.

(Honestly I never even imagined such Luk-pally HH mules. after I come back, I heard it from PRADA, and he told me it's not a april fools joke, it's actual meta. I was so shocked and thought he's making me fool first. ahaha)

As many guys told over and over, I also hope pallies HH follows range-based dmg on bosses. I'm not sure this is codeable or not, but with resonable % dmg, I expect this solution can satisfy quite a lot of people.

Too much broken meta should be fixed of course, but also meta shouldn't be forced and fixed by staff teams will. Finding such stuffs are also parts of fun of playing games. Just personal opinion.

 

I suppose that makes sense, although I would be somewhat jaded that my lvl 177 luk pally which I definitely put more effort to create than most pally mains on the server would become unable to capitalize off of HH damage purely because I added luk instead of str. Of course, I would prefer that over fully nerfed HH, and I would probably begrudgingly remake the HH mule.

 

I don't think so.. it just depends more on which job the mules are.. They'll get buffs or reverted sometime later on, probably..

 

ban multiclient make teamplay great again

 

I would totally do a STR HH mule even if I the pots cost is higher, is just too good

 

There is a way to make heavens hammer good for pallies, and hard to abuse with mules, make HH have a faster animation, and less cooldown!!!!!!!!!!!! With and damage should be scaled by str or range

 

but less damage

 

To counteract the whole idea of HH mules being able to pump their AP into STR is to find a wonky formula that rewards base Weapon Attack more than STR or DEX (capping everything at 200k). This way if people want their HH mule(s) to deal great damage they need to wield a good weapon, cape, etc

 

With my heart, I hope you understand, balance isn't simple like "plus and minus, so it'll be even"......
