Is it true paladins have to go one handed after BB patch, so would it be smart saving a few crushed skulls?

with the new skills in bigbang kms, paladins was truly a defensive class but never really tempered to be so, but with the BB update paladins bring a whole new meaning to the word "shield" as a defensive class, 1h sword/1hbw will have a more advantage in using skills and taking advantage of them, but, imo theres a lot to consider than just benefiting from BBP skills, 2hsword or 2hBW have longer reach, maybe slow, but dmg wise i guess it depends on how funded u are to make buy or accquire an att shield, plus, not to mention potential, having a shield with potential is also a plus to look at, but, as a 2hbw in kradia. im satisfied with my range as a 2h 4k-11.6k, average i guess compared to more godlier paladins in kradia, its preference, wud u wield a SnS or a massive 2h weapon?

There is no "have to", but you will be severely handicapped if you choose not to do so. For one, 2H will not have as enormous of an advantage in terms of damage. They go from having a ~15% advantage per hit to 10%. This means that there is a smaller gap for speed to make up, which it does already. Skill wise, Guardian is the only one that makes 1H immensely useful. Shield Mastery may give 200% extra defense, but that still doesn't mean much after BB. 30% elemental resistance and a 40% chance to not take damage? Yes, please! Really, though, the biggest reason to go 1H is already here: potentials. You used to need an attack shield for 1H to be truly viable, but not so no mo.

potentials its like chosing between top/bottom vs overalls, overalls u get 2-3 potential lines while top/bottm u get 4-6 lines as with 2h weapon vs 1h/shield, as of 2h u get 2-3 lines of potential compared to 1h/shield which wud offer u 4-6 lines of potential

There's just no comparison. Even before, Neos top+bottom were more advantageous. Firstly, you get 14 slots instead of 7. Then, you also get to use two extra strengtheners in Maker. It's just ridiculously better to get more equips.

pally class have been the hardest among the three branches of being a warrior, fighters and spearman aka heroes and darkKnights wer preffered to be partied with, but as a class thats already challenging interms of being the last choice,. i went BLUNT coz it made me unique in my server, so many sword pallies out there so many sword and shield pallies,. now it becomes a comparison, a pally with SnS vs a hero with SnS. the sword maybe faster, out dmgs a mace, but i wana be the ones whod ppl will consider wow he reach that lvl using such a primitive weapon, techinically blunt pallies are a dying breed,. like axe heroes but its a platform that certain players consider a goal for players to use the hardest to wield weapons to reach ultimate lvl, its an honor and a privilage that i stand among a hall of paladins being the only one with a different weapon, it wud take time, alot of time but none-the-less i shall stand besides my brothers the paladins the few the proud the paladins

[quote] Abel : yea buuuuuuuut there still slow [/quote] ive actually read that the difference between fast 5 -> normal doesn't have such a big impact on DPM post big bang. i'm not saying thats true, just what i have read. i'm considering at least trying to scroll some nice crushed skulls, 1h swords are going to increase a lot in price, bw's may even decrease because of BB.

[/quote] Care to share a source? I'm just curious as I haven't heard such news, but it would certainly change things a bit.

[/quote] it was hear on this site somewhere, i can't remember the title of the thread though, ive been looking for it but i'm unable to find it. edit: found it [quote] kirayamato26 : Nonetheless, post-BB, 1 attack ~= 1 attack as far as fast 5 vs normal 6 DPM goes (the difference is like 0.222%). So 1H is by far the better choice. [/quote] although now that i read it again i may have took it out of context.
