Paladin to Hero

Hi basillers, i was wondering if it would be beneficial changing to a hero from my pally (level 122) i have built my character around sword and shield so it doesnt need itequips changed. Are hero's still as good as they once were for Dmg output?

[quote=FreeIcecream]Calling them a certain disease would be overdoing it, but Paladins have more benefits when bossing than Heroes.
Heroes only really beat Paladins in 1v1 damage on bosses that don't got physical resistance, which most of the endgame bosses do have.
Paladins beat Heroes in support, tanking and 1v1 versus endgame bosses like Cra, Magnus and Empress.[/quote]

Pretty much this. Paladins [i]often times[/i] does more with less with respect to funding is the only thing I'd add. Both sides have pros and cons, just depends on what your priorities are

Just stay Paladin. Heroes are Cancerous now. They're the only Warrior that needs to chug potions like a retard like no tomorrow. They're lame, brings nothing to the party, squishy af.

Most people will say that Heroes are the worst out of the three adventurer warriors, but thats not really the case. For damage, it depends on what specifically you mean by that, at 122 your damage concerns would most likely be towards normal mobs, and for those yes turning into a hero will get you much more damage. But in the long run bossing is the probably the most important thing in maplestory(at endgame at least) and paladins have an easier time at bosses due to being able to ignore elemental resistance(which cuts other classes damage in half) and having a much higher survivability. I started my current main as a hero, and at one point changed into a paladin, i did a sizeable chunk less damage per line as a paladin, but because of the survivability i was finally able to solo hard mode gollux, which i was not able to do as a hero.

EDIT: Thats not to say that paladins are better than heros when it comes to all bosses or anything like that, it comes down to multiple factors that I won't go into because I'm not smart enough to ensure that I'll be 100% correct on all of them. Generally hero's attack faster than paladins and do much higher damage with much lower ranges(though thats because their ranges are not "inflated with buffs" as a friend of mine who mains a Hero likes to say.As a paladin with ~1.3m range self buffed I can do ~16mil/line on bosses. He has ~300k range less than me and does ~24m/line on some bosses and up to 55m/line on others(granted those were Dojo bosses and I don't think they have normal defenses like other bosses.
