pallies nexoned

So made a pally last week, and I had no idea that they had gotten nexoned. Couldent be more dissapointed this once superclass has now become a hollow novelty of its former self. Just wanted to take a minute to whine about how nexon takes the fun out of everything.

I agree in this one. I did got annoyed of the the future "rebalancing" as nexon puts it. I watched my old maple vid collections from the early day. Powerstriking at FoG, in Ludi, and Holy Charge at skeles.

Paladins were one of the lol class from before. Getting asked to use rage or not being picked for PQ (coz we cant use rage). RED rolls and now most people wants to be paladins. I was 212 when RED came. I remember getting called a "bandwagoner"

After the "rebalancing" we will be unique again. Knowing our DPM will be one of the lowest. I know this will be our "dark times", but this actually opens up possibilities for 5th job or another future rebalancing.

I know real Paladins will have a BLAST playing our nerfed version (weak joke)

Is that a joke? Our damage is terrible after the nerf, like we do less than 45% of our current damage. In no way were we so op that that is a reasonable nerf. And it's not like tanking 0hko skills is particularly practical anyway. I get hit by maybe 1-2 0hko skills when I solo cvellum anyway, and one of those kills me regardless.

And honestly, while the 50% damage nerf is bad, the thing that's worse is the -1 hit from all our skills. Not only did they make it insanely difficult to do good damage as a paladin, they made it so even if you're insanely funded you're still not great.

curious what they will do for 5th job. I'm perfectly fine with them atm and will in the future as long as they keep their tanking. I like not having to pot because im LAZY.

It would've been better to just remove the physical ignore aspect. I don't see why the removed the ignore for every element.

Paladins were too op. Got nerfed to a respectable level. Even after the nerf, pally still does amazing damage and can tank a lot of ohko attacks. That alone should keep u playing pally.

Well at least we're balanced again. We still got some of, if not the best, support in the game for bossing as well as the ability to survive anything. I'd say that's still more than enough to warrant the 50% cut on damage.

Pallies I feel, are just a bit stale. All of our attacks have the same animation with only a very slight change. It would be nice if we had different swings for each element that signified the element (ex. Fire=power, powerful swing down to the ground/lightning=fast,quick slash upward, etc). They did some good with the blunt weapon animations which are amazing, but nobody wants to go blunt weapon cause it's such a crappy bonus (5% ignore def) vs swords(10% max crit damage). I don't think Nexon knows how to balance very well. 5% ignored def <<<< 10% max crit damage.

Tell that to an xenon. Xenon's snipe was supposed to get an increase of 100%, but then Nexon thought it was too much, so instead gave them a 20% increase.

No, yet for some reason they think the class is somehow worse than before.

I agree. Buffing was very obnoxious and the skills were bleh.. but the supports were very impressive. The added rez, sancro and stun made the class very cool

Paladin was SO boring for me. I got it to level 192 and quit because of how bland the skills looked. Plus the buffing was so damn annoying.
