Interesting/Cool/ things Paladins can do ?

[Arteker]

First, apology for my english.

currently i own a paladin lvl 60 on this server ( rigth now and in terms of ac hps only Hammer can compete with him in AC hps mana unbuffed, raid buffed im sligthy superior to him ).

i own a lvl 100 paladin in AB server a paladin wich i played from kunark to nowdays as is till playing live albeit semi retired of raid).

i lived every change of the class for about 13 years .

but back in the topic i will give my point of view of a paladin rigth now in this server and if we even get in velious.

AS kunark char:

paladin in general have a hard time in kunark his gear outside few items isnt very excepcional or in pair with what sks wars can achieve .

Howver a paladin have several adventages , the first its the class wich can build the agro in game , his stun line the correct use of flash of ligth or even his gimp fear .

paladins can do prety well for themselves as CC with their line of roots and pacify, a rigth paladin can pull as well as monk in most xp groups, the trouble of course is their mana .

his mele is crap , like sk , and realy their undead nukes are not worth the mana they use.
they take more dmg but they got a adventage over monks wars in tankin.

paladin agro generation is so strong than if u make the rigth group u can just blew up regular trash before they hurt you so much and this keeping such dps without taking hits and the need of a cleric patchealing over time the dmg they usualy take.


Raid in kunark as a paladin : a paladin can mostly tank any the outdoor dragons without much trouble. myself i have tanked several times mobs such as Trakanon gorenaire , ct innoruck.....

not as easy with some of the bosses of sky or vp there u realy need a disc warrior. or a hugue ammount of heals , but since most figths dont last beyond 30 secs is easy .

paladins have the same mana pool of a pure caster sure ur dps is a pure shit but u got a adventage over a druid or a shaman .

ur Hps a paladin have by far more hps than any of the subhealers class wich allow him to pop his DA at engage of a mob to avoid the first aoe , then begin to spam heals once u see urself enxt aoe is killing u . then u pop ur lay hands and u will most likewise survive .

Velious:

paladins get some upgrades in velious so far making them better than sks in general.
spells: minor hp buffs,(u can aswell piss ur local ranger since Divine strengh will oevrride their atk buffs), a fast Heal over time (celestial cleansin is a cheap spell), group heals(most people will laugh at them but one u realize u not figthing 32 khps raid mobs wich die in less 30 secs every heal is welcome).

paladin defensive skills are raised to same lvl of a warrior in velious, Wars will have their discs adventage but otherwise a paladin had the same defensive skills as a war).


paladin offensive : once 2hs change happens paladins are not a joke anymore, the new mechanic in 2hs and their upgrade means a paladin in the long run can dish more dmg than a wizard , if u lucky enough to get a primal and ATK buffs ur dps is vastly superior to what u see in kunark.

paladin gear and raid scenario:
paladins gear is hugue factor in velious , as a warrior u can cap ur AC and reach impresive Hps ammounts but what is more important , ur manapool wil lbecome hugue aswell.
paladin are excellent patchealers in the long figths of velious, some of their disc such as sanctification before the nerf could block the Cazic touch .

paladins are good keeping their group memebrs alive casting cures in long figths such vulak .
paladin are excepcional in a little stuff, Rampage mobs, a paladin can easily take over rampage before it chew important class, while rangers can use weaponshield to position a mob a paladin can use his divine aura aswell.

and thats all realy , as realy golden age of paladins was planes of power expansion , some may say luclin but it belongs to ranegrs before the bow nerf .

Can do some pretty neat tricks generating aggro on mobs without doing damage, esp summoning mobs, esp perma rooted raid bosses (will our version of tov have those?).

Wut? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Hybrids mana pool scales with pure casters? Is this working at intended?

[falkun]

Wow Kaga...
Aggro generation on perma-rooted mobs: Stun/FoL while it can't summon you because you haven't done any damage.
2h-Bash is exclusive to FD and slam races. That was classic until the 2HBash AA in Luclin, which we will likely not see on this server.

sorry my english isn t my native language.

Deep in Velious two hander weapons suffer a game change than actualy upgrade them from toys to realy usefull weapons .
scaled up dmg bonuss and dmg.

to make it easy to understand u will never hit for 20 points of dmg with a 30+ dmg weapon or a 40 one.

50 dmg weapons for paladins sk means u can hit for 350 and in any case u will not hit for 20 points of dmg anymore.

such upgrade together with Atk spell line and ATK booasts such primal and aura of battle improve so much 2 hands than in many cases it replace dual wield as best dps .
