22k range to solo Chaos Zak

After the Paladin revamp and the hyper skills Paladins can not only solo VL with like a 15k range but now they can solo Chaos Zakum with only a 22k range :O

Sure it wasn't in good time, he had 10 minutes left but damn. My Paladin has a 22k range and this was a jaw dropper for me. Now imagine the Horntail solo times?

I do love the new damage but do you guys think Paladins are overpowered now? With a 22k range he was hitting almost 200k per line with seven lines on Blast.

@viridic:

Dunno, it took me like 15 ish minutes to do it o_o

Fully equipped; it's range would break 100k-ish so i wouldnt have any trouble with it. Maybe im just not used to using it lately lol

[quote=viridic]@xNeoGaiax: idk O_O i went for fun one day with one of my friends and i frapped it. 10 minutes. first ever zak solo. maybe you need better crashing [/quote]

If you went with your friend it wasnt a solo ._.
If you frapped can you send a link of video?

And i dont have problem timing crash,even if i did it wont make up for the 20k diference on range o_o

[quote=viridic]you had a hard time with zak? how? O_O i have a 23k range fully buffed, 10% boss, and 8x% def ignore. i can solo zak pretty easily in about 10 minutes[/quote]

I do around 9 min on my pally with 41k range, tell me how you do it in 10min with half my range o_o

Totally psyched for hyper skills now!

Aww well that's depressing.... Oh well. Name me another class other than Hero and Pally (no Tempest classes) that can solo with a 22k range? I guess we're maybe speshul.

[quote=alex168]@PoetryIsMeh: Well the pally had hyper skills and I didn't, so any extra things I had wouldn't be enough to compensate for the lack of hyper skills.
thanks[/quote]

Please post a video of that because I honestly think that's impossible right now if you don't have any %Boss like this guy did. I wouldn't be surprised if you had 50-100% boss and you soloed it, but 0% boss... nah I don't believe its possible.

@PoetryIsMeh: I'm confused by this too.

Especially since my stripped paladin with only 50% boss damage with 25k range had a hard time doing regular zak

[quote=barce9296]OMG 520% per line would be epic o.o
Is it possible to tell what the guy's [in the vid] pdr or %boss is? Might help to know >.>[/quote]

No it doesnt say what his PDR is, but Paladins already have pretty good PDR anyways so there isn't much use for stockpiling a ton of it. He showed his sword and it didn't have any %Boss and I doubt his shield has % boss on it too. ACB is 270% per hit and he was hitting 65-70k's w/o crit which is around what I hit with blast w/o crit and blast now is 260% so that may prove he doesn't have any %Boss at all.

[quote=squire7766]@Kazzooey: As i recall, they haven't ever actually nerfed an explorer class. And no, i dont consider adding a CD to an ultimate a nerf because it was justified.

But i had heard that they originally wanted to make Blast do 520% dmg PER line.

That would've been insane o.o[/quote]

[quote=squire7766]The update hasn't happened yet though. We still require Hyper Skills.

Looks like the numbers favored Heroes but in realistic situations it may actually favor paladins. like @Kazzooey: had pointed out.[/quote]

Exactly. If you don't have to worry about the boss doing big damage or stuff like that, say normal hilla, a Hero will out DPM us by far. But in terms of a much more intense boss such as Hard Hilla or something like that where they use a LOT of crazy attacks I would say it's in more favor for a Paladin due to their resistance and boss Knock Down and invincibility. So in the end it MAY or MAY NOT out Dpm a Hero.

I'd say this update balanced Paladins out more, maybe a bit too much damage arguably. Because when you look at it, sure like now we are invincible but Hero's still whup our asses in DPM so that invincibility didn't really matter since we still sucked. I think they were trying to balance out a Paladin's DPM with a Hero's DPS but they may have overdid it. But you wont see me crying NERF! anytime soon.

[quote=goegg2]Um im pretty sure my hero does 200k a line currently on 1v1.
After the hyper skills, add 60% to that.

Regardless, a 1hour 23 minutes CZAK solo is horrible.
Might as well not do it, waste of time and effort.
Takes my db 7 mins.[/quote]

300k per line congrats. But you aren't invincible, you have to deal with taking damage, seduce, stuff like that. All of which hinder your DPM. Paladins on the other hand dont have to worry about ANY of that. Our Hero's will should take care of any seduce that comes our way with such a low cooldown on it (CO baby), a 40-50% status resist, Sanctosomething, Smite (Knocks down bosses), and complete invincibility [i]may or may not[/i] out DPM a Hero depending on the boss and situation. I personally would put my money on and take 200k per line with all of those bonuses rather than 300k per line and little defensive bonuses.

And realize I posted this in the Paladin section, not the general section. I am showing this to PALADINS and not comparing it to the rest of the classes in the game. Cool, your Dual Blade can solo in 7 minutes but I doubt a Db can solo Czak with a 22k range. Tell me one other class (don't you DARE say Angelic Burster) who can solo Czak with a 22k range. Imagine if our paladins had your Db's range, then see who comes out on #1 ey?

[quote=goegg2]If u ever played a pally, 20k is decently funded.
Edit-I tested this on my hero with 25k range.
It does 120k a line and with enrage 200k.

Not op at all.
And with hyper skills for heros = 40% boss.

Also 1hour solo is horrible lol[/quote]

20k Range is slightly funded. I have only two empress equips (clean overall and 23 ATT 3% Str gloves), an ok sword (150ish ATT), and 20% Str. So if that was me, I would be doing 200k per line of Blast x 7 since I can get decent SE and I have 16% Boss from cards and link. Now slap 100% invincibility into that and you've got probably better dpm than a Hero.

You guys get a nice horizontal range boost, a slight vertical range boost, and you get to hit a little behind you too.
Don't think you'll be able to hit all 8 though.
