Fix paladin. Only Class in the entire game that cannot...

[Daniolaut]

Personally i dont feel paladin has an identity crisis.

I feel Paladin lacks skills with which to perform one the two absolute requirements this game demands. (job wise) Black Mage got a buff to do more damage to take into consideration it needs to move, Paladin should get an adjustment considering it cant effectively be a tank and deal damage to any real degree in a multiple mob situation at the same time.

"Movement"

"Damage"


The entire battle system is based around these two things, one of which Paladin lacks to ability to do with flash entirely, which currently it stands as its sole area of effect enmity generation.

You CAN single target in a multiple enemy situation, but lets be realistic, everyone wants to do speed runs and everyone wants to do massive damage.

I'm not asking for paladin to do more damage than warrior, i'm asking it actually do damage with a single area of effect attack.

Effectively switching the effects of Circle of Scorn and Flash, but changing Circle of Scorn to War Drum.

I feel this would make paladin more fun to play, as flash would be more situational and encouraged to time (because of the blind)

While also giving Paladin a fun ability again, to allow it to keep threat and deal damage. The animation for Circle of Scorn doesnt even make sense to me personally.




Black mage received a change because of turn 9, due to its supposed high demand of movement, and the jobs ability to do damage based upon that demand..

Paladin should get a change because flash does absolutely 0 damage and its paladins sole, singular, area of effect enmity generation. There is circle of scorn, but thats like saying black mage has scathe, and scathe should be its main source of damage in turn 9. Which is absurd. Dont go there.
