Little change for Paladin's Blast skill and Bandish's Hero skill

Skull is useless you lose range

 

Paladins already out-perform Heroes when it comes to bosses you'd use a Crushed Skull at. Scarlion, Targa, Pianus, Samurai, and Bigfoot already have elemental weaknesses that make them one of the best classes in the game when using a Crushed Skull. For Zakum Arms you'll probably want a 2h to reach more of them but Heaven's Hammer damage is pretty crazy already vs. 8 targets. Horntail is something you also need 2h for but again, the HH damage makes sure that Paladins stay near the top of the DPM charts.

There really aren't many places where Paladin underperforms compared to Heroes. The Zakum bodies, probably, but overall the Crushed Skull doesn't need to be buffed any more than it already has been. Especially not enough to need a 12.5% dpm boost. If it did happen then there'd probably be no reason to use a Stonetooth anymore, the Dragon Flame would probably outperform it for anything needing 2h.

 

@OP Personally as a paladin that bosses regularly we don't honestly need a buff. We actually outperform heroes and drks in most areas in the game already and with an easier time too. Sure there are annoying damage multipliers on BW but we already out damage the other warrior classes in single target scenario and for cleaving for HT and Zak we do just fine with HH spam :^) Most people can vouch for my damage at bosses so don't count out a paladin just yet! Also Blast always swinging would be insane and broken.

The only buff warriors need are 2H BW and Axes in general needs a buff imo

The only things paladins don't reach 100% with a skull is HT left head, Arms (100% when wings are up then 50% when wings are down) and Zak top left/right arms. Paladins can hit everything else just fine.

 

bruh use dragon claymore and then your skull

 

dude you don't even lose out on much during bossing

 

Are you sure? I regularly out damage the other warrior classes with ease. My skull is only 135 wa!

 

If that's the case you'll need to cite some sources and give some evidence with various methods. It's not enough to just reiterate the same point, especially when it goes against one of the top Paladins on the server. Heroes already exist, and Paladins don't need to be turned into another version of them. They have a bag of tricks to use almost anywhere for impressive damage in mobbing and for single target. And if it is about stabilizing damage, over the course of a boss it really won't affect things that much, the variance over long periods stabilizes itself as the sample size of attacks increases. It might affect Bigfoot by +/- 20 seconds if you're rather quick about killing him, but in long term it's negligible.

And Speargraves exist if the concern really is about stable damage. But then again Paladins can't max all of their elements for both weapons, something will probably get missed.

If anyone needs buffs it's probably Shadowers and Buccaneers, their damage actually is terrible compared to most classes. :^)
(It also makes them more loveable too)

 

You get more raw damage compared to a hero because you are using 1h weapon and a wa shield along with elemental charge to further increase your damage! You should also be out damaging them at elemental weak bosses AND single target bosses.

 

feel like, the range of blast should be increased. other than that, i thin paladins are great and the underdogs. you'd be surprised how much itzjaacky carries us...

 

but thats a weapon, that doesnt improve the class for new pallys incoming. no one can get a NT wep right off the bat

 

Paladins are the strongest warrior class 1v1.

Let's look at the damage multipliers.

Hero: Brandish + ACA
260*2*1.9 = 988

Paladin: Blast + Fire charge (assuming enemy is neutral against fire)
600*1.75 = 1050

Yes, the above is not accurate if the enemy resists fire. But pretty much every monster that resists fire is weak to something else. And if the paladin uses any other charge with elemental advanage, they will end up with even more damage than 1050.

Paladins can use swords just like heros, hell they can use the exact same gear piece for piece as heros. What i've shown above is literally the only difference between paladins and heros (assuming they both use swords).

 

Pally just hit a head of HT if they cant reach the arm, and use HH in combos and they do damage in the arm still... I dont understand why ppl are so means to pallys they re good as how they are!. and as i had read in Skill balance topic the pallys were balanced when the server started initially. i dont see the need for an another balance to pallys. they re just fine, you just need more imagination!

 

But Paladins can use swords, making them 1:1 comparible with heros, and I showed that they have higher single target damage than heros.

Instead of comparing a 1h bw to a 1h sword, you should be comparing a 1h bw to a 1h axe.
