Potential Skill for Paladins
There was a thread about what skills you wish nexon would make I put my thought on what skills I thought would be great for paladins but got no feedback so I decided to just make a thread and find out what cool ideas other ppl might have on potential skills for paladins. So here are some skills I think would be awesome if paladins were to get them.
Saint Reinforcements: Summons angels from heavens gates for backup ( I haven't decided if it should just be 1 angel like bishop's bahamut summon or a mob of angels like cb's band of thieves)
Heavens Blessings: The paladin would pray for help to battle the enemy, and in doing so the surrounding party members would get an att boosts.
Valiant Heart: Paladin would sacrifice half his hp to boost the prtys wep def.
So yea that's all I could come up with for now, so if you have any thoughts on a new paladin skills are current paladin skill adjustment just post it up. I would love to hear everyone's thoughts on the matter xD

[quote=Viaje]Wow... someone's obviously stuck in a bubble.
And, yes, it's called "Heaven's Hammer". Heaven can also mean an variety of things.
And, yes, I did answer how things can be holy with no connection to the realm of heaven; you just overlooked it because you're obviously wrapped up in a Judeo-Christian view of the word.[/quote]
Forget it im srsly tired of hearing you talk about heaven or holy not being related or meaning different things, cuz it makes no sense to me and you still gave no examples, but that it don't matter I don't care so if you don't have any more ideas for new skills please don't reply.
[quote=Viaje]I thought you watched anime and played video games... because I can think of plenty of instances in which demons don't come from hell. In fact, there are also plenty of instances in those sources in which demons aren't even evil. Demons do exist outside of Christianity, after all.
And, no. That's why I put 'scarecrow' in quotes. It would basically make the character that cast Threaten be treated like the Scarecrow that bowmen can summon.[/quote]
Okay one I hope u don't honestly think demons were spawned on earth lol that would be ludicrous and two I should have pointed this out from the get go in game paladins have a skill called HEAVENS hammer so you were wrong when you said that they're holy yet had nothing to do with heaven itself and you didn't answer my first question about what else can holy be referred to if not heaven o.O and im still not understanding the scarecrow thing sorry lol any other ideas on new skills?
[quote=Viaje]Well, that's what happens when you limit your sources of information.
Again, being "holy" does not necessarily mean "from heaven".
Which is still relevant as the skills should make sense within the context of the game.
In Maplestory, the class is more aligned with defensive capabilities more than focusing on their Holy element as evidenced by what Nexon is doing with us in Big Bang.
Therefor, it would make more sense to think of new skills/modifications of skills that act upon those lines.
Personally, I still think allowing Threaten to turn us into walking 'Scarecrows' is still the best option.[/quote]
Then what would you say holy relates to if not heaven cuz im confused that's like saying a demon doesn't come from hell, but okay ima leave that alone. We already have hella def skills and little holy based skills, so I thought it would be cool if they gave paladins something that portrays the class a little bit more like angels from heaven or something like dat and I don't understand what you expect from threaten, are u saying that instead of summoning a ghost, the paladin would transform to a scarecrow ?
@Viaje Im glad I learned something new about the origins of paladins but I didn't want to debate about what paladins were about or where they came from, I just wanted to hear ideas on new paladin skills so if you have any please let me hear them but if not then don't comment at all cuz the origin of the class paladin is not why I started this thread.
[quote=Viaje]I'd love to hear where you got the impression that Paladins are "holy knights from heaven" as a "fact".
Last I checked, they were originally from [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paladin]France.[/url]
Nothing in Maplestory's lore says nor implies that Paladins are from any sort of heaven.
Are they holy-based? Yes, but there are plenty of mythologies that have holiness and divinity without a concept of heaven or even prayer.
Looking at the little lore that Maplestory has (which is disappointingly small), "heaven" would be the Temple of Time since that's where the goddess Ariel's throne is.[/quote]
Oh well I was under the impression that they were Heavens Knights from animes and final fantasy games so you might be right about them being from France in reality, but in game and etc there known to be saint warriors
Lmaooo I didnt think people would have viewed these skills in a religious kind of way, and even so paladins are holy knights from heaven that's a fact so giving them holy skills like the ones I mentioned should be apart of the class itself not religious wise. Lol and okay I guess heavens blessing is a little religious cuz of the praying part but you can change that to something else like call upon? idk
I think too much religious content would make me want to quit my paladin *shudders*
These are nice ideas though
