General

Small defensive boost
Flashy animations for all charges (Including holy), and HH.
Small increase in damage with Blast.
Large increase in damage for ACB.

Wait, what? That's charged blow...?

I could have sworn I heard it being blast. >_>

I don't prefer Charged Blow's current appearance.

[quote=Edmania]I prefer the current HH and Blast animations, though I don't really mind if Blast is replaced by that. The new Heaven's Hammer animation loses shiny, and it looks kind of like a fire based attack. I don't mind the size change.[/quote]
Blast animation remains unchanged. It's charge blow's animation that gets changed.

Don't say you prefer the current CB's animation, they're a horrible uninspired piece of ... Dx Xept holy's maybe.
The only regret I have about the new animation is how it includes a weapon. And it's a sword! What about blunt weapons? I hate all these animations, they started doing it with arans, and the trend continued, for example with BaM's and hero's IS.

@ShMaiz3R: Ah, thanks

[quote=Skytheria]HH looks slower. Do you know anything about that? [/quote]

Chaos's HH: 3300 ms
Jump's HH: 2520 ms

So no, it's faster post-jump.

[quote=ChuckNastee]There has been no mention of an animation change to Divine Charge or any animation of an attack while charged with Divine Charge.

So... no, probably not.[/quote]

[quote=scorp989]We got some flashy animations, and some skill changes. Basically a good old buff in damage. People will recognize that we use HH now![/quote]

OMG IKR! the current heavens hammer is so puny despite having a majestic name and after jump ppl will gawk at it xD. What im wondering right now tho is around what time will jump patch come to gms because I wanna know if im even gonna be playing around that time or even playing maple at all

winter

Any ideas on when this Jump patch will occur?
o_o

[quote=OppaHealYou]The flashy animations excluding HH and the charges, are those Blast or CB?

EDIT: Nvm, it's CB. Also, will the skill effect of Holy Charge be different?[/quote]

So... no, probably not.

[quote=lostph34rz]@shairn I wouldn't call HP recovery a nerf. Just a rebalance. 40% hp / 15 seconds is just rescaled from 80% / 30 seconds. I'd say it's much better.

OT: Our Divine Shield finally gets invincibility frames. Thank god. Hammer gets a fancy animation. Charges get a new animation. Also, we're pretty much THE tanking class of the game now, with Achilles being exclusive to Pallys only.[/quote]

Achilles also goes up to 20% instead of 15% and Crusaders get Power Reflection instead of Power Guard which blocks less but reflects more damage which further cemetn Pally as uber tanks and Crusader as more or less pure damage.

[quote=iLikePapayas]basically paladins become a stab only class. stab to mob, stab to 1v1. (both with similar animations. i wish they gave it a slash/stab like it was before)
oh excluding heavens hammer of course, you actually hold the hammer now[/quote]

Yay, BW stab!
HH is so silly. I advanced to 4th job today and tried it out and... It was a bit underwhelming. No damage shown, a tiny hammer swings.
Can't wait for jump

We got some flashy animations, and some skill changes. Basically a good old buff in damage. People will recognize that we use HH now!

[quote=marimois]isnt this before Jump Patch?[/quote]

No, it is not before. It is part of the first patch of Jump. There are three in total.

CB gets a pretty cool upgrade, blast gets a negligible boost. HP recovery gets nerfed :C
I like the new charge effects.[/quote]
