Ok. So rumors are with the balance patch Paladins are guna get buffed alot. Stacked Charges etc. And i was wondering, would this make paladins much stronger than hero's ? mainly for bossing cos i know paladins are already fast trainers. There is alot of debate about what warriors are the best BF killers so any clarification on these topics (non-biased please) would be greatly appreciated =]

Palidins will be buffed up yes that is true, they will be matched to hero or even stronger, im not 100% positive about this but its a probablity, Both heroes and Palidins will be able to BF, you can't replace Heroes rush + brandish thanks my opion.

they are getting buffed, that is ALL we know until then, saying they are better than any other class is mere speculations since the patch has yet to come out

Paladins will be the strongest warrior class after balance patch. Their DPM will be higher than heroes even on neutral when its on 1 monster, or 4+. THE ONLY time a hero's DPM will outdamage that of a pally's is on 2 or 3 monsters.

Masakazusama is correct in that, well done there Sir. I feel Paladins are looked down upon for no real reason as it is, becuase they can rip some pretty decent damage, and at best Hero's are only ahead of them by 5% damage. With the upcoming stacking and buffing of the Elemental Charges a Paladin will be able to deal out a rather large amount of damage, providing the monster is weak to one of the two Elements charged, If the monster is weak to both elements then it is safe to say PEW PEW. I have to laugh though when people think that only a Hero can possibly Rush > pin a BF, when i am pretty sure Paladins can do that exact same job, even better in some cases depending on funding, due to Fire Charge. Blast is basically a pimped out version of Power Strike with bigger range, and in my opionion, not experience tho (i just hit Paladin 5 minutes before the SC) a Paladin should be able to Rush a BF to a corner and then take a few steps back and Blast spam, thus keeping BF away whilst maintaining a decent damage output. Only drawback that i can find to said tactic is if a Wraith hops in the way, but an ACB will clear that + any other mobs in the way and still keep BF away. Paladins ftw, even before the Balance patch, and after said patch i'm sure we will see a huge influx of Pages / White Knights / Paladins.

Paladins will have a higher 1v1 damage range than heroes on neutral monsters and slightly more on elemental weak monsters. BF-wise Paladins will have slightly faster kill times, if same equips, than a hero on a pinned bigfoot depending on which map. i.e If there are elder wraiths or a constant spawn of little wraiths. However, in a KS-wise since I think Heroes still have the edge.

[/quote] currently 990% vs 988% a hero will retain its advantage as brandish also clears the spawn, trust me i've run through it before and run the numbers on peoples runs. heroes hold a higher % of DPM obtained, more than enough to make up for the 0.202% power difference in their attacks

The one with the "better" DPS is always the one with the greater funding

If you think there gonna be the best then fine make a pally(we really dont need anymore bandwagon heros anyway) and teleko your forgetting that blast targest the oldest thing you hit meaning it targest whatever you hit first until its dead in fact not clearing the spwan of jr wariths might be better because your constantly taking the 1 damage from jr wriths you can move closer to be to the point where normally you would be taking BF's touch damage but the upside is he never stops jumping meaning you can hit him as many times as you want this. So a hero would only have that better damage over time in a map like evil dead.
