Paladin happy?

I am hearing mixed reviews from other paladins as the new update was announced. First I saw all paladin complaining we lost damage, then people are happy we got some new buffs, my question is...How do you feel?

I personally am happy that my defense can now be used to help the party. Parashock is smex

@Kazzooey
From what I've read in another basil thread. I may have confused the skills with each other.
[quote=MLPFiM]All I want is to keep our old blast with the animation and the passive crit and pdr.

The only good thing about this patch is the 20000 def cap and 20% dmg reduction working on %hp based attacks.[/quote]

@Kazzooey @nhan1st so it's confirmed that our defense can protect against %hp attacks? that is, by far, the best news paladins ever got.

also, @nhan1st's post pretty much summed it up.

Sure it was Parashock? I heard it was Elemental Charge gives you the 20% protect from the %Hp Attacks, and Parashock now reduces defense by 20% to self. It did say the variable was x: -20 and x was Defense and someone else told me it was Elemental Charge and had proof to back it up.

Basically what happened was:

KMST First revamp: Pallies got a damage nerf, major defense nerf.
Players' reaction: SUFHBOHNBOAIHNFOIEHFONVOIEFHODNVOADHGOEIRHFJIHR&amp#&$*T&(*#$(T*)#*&$)@YTFESDUFH)(*YW)RHROWFJ:SJF

KMST skill changes Archer revamp: Damage was buffed a bit, but blast still sucked compared to ACB and defense was buffed back to nearly what we have now.
Players' reaction: Meh, our attack sucks, but at least we got our defense back. The stack system also got better.

KMST latest skill change Theif and Pirate revamp: Huge damage increase, Parashock now protects against %hp attacks, BW gets amazing animation.
Players' reaction: <333333333333333333333

I don't play a Paladin, but the new animations are making me want one. Will definitely start one whenever this update rolls out.

I love the new changes now that I've had some time to adjust (even though I haven't even played it lol) Only thing I want now is damage ratio for Blast:Acb to be fixed and the animation for Blast to go from a lunge to a stab like it is currently.
