Back off Paladin D:
The SP Skills belong to us Kabbalist
High Guard doesn’t need to be a buff, it just needs to be responsive and 100%.
Before Rebuild I thought anyone putting Highlander in F tier was a no skill moron.
However back then it gave over 500 block
Now at max it gives 50% and even if you’re trying to stack block you’re lucky to get even half the old value, and even if you block it’s 50% reduction, not full block.
Highlander probably should get a buff skill, however it doesn’t need Cross Guard to become one. Cross Guard needs to be an invulnerability, it should have a cap on how much it can block based on level. 1 per level, 10 levels maxed.
Blocks skills, not just ticks.
If I use lvl 3 Cross Guard, enemy uses
Pouncing, I fully invulnerable against it, then I get 1 stack of Cross Guard Success(60 seconds duration), but no Pouncing can damage me while I hold the key, even if I stop and re-press it.
Enemy Cyclones, fully invulnerable again, 2 stacks success, I block all cyclone damage as long as/any I press cross guard.
Enemy uses Zwerchauu, I block it, that’s my third stack of Cross Guard Success, when I stop since I have level 3 Cross Guard, my Cross Guard will end and go on a 60 second CD.
1 skill blocked per level, and suddenly the move is good again.
50% block is not worth CCing yourself. Pelt has 30% on a skill that has no penalty. That buff, is the worst of the 3 Pelt defensive buffs though.

Paladin is kind of in a good spot right now, what it really needs is when your channeling Sanctuary that you and anyone effected by Sanctuary are immune to knockbacks.
The only problem i have with paladin is that it has an identity crises, is it a healer/support class or a dps class it needs to pick.
congrats @ShiSeptiana ! your diabetes weapon set is becoming reality
that crossbow is very creative!

Demolition needs at least 2 OH Charges, a higher chance to trigger stun with the attribute and a big dmg increase, since many other class skills received a dmg increase across the board in the last few weeks on ktos.
Resist elements and conviction should cover all elements. The elemental property dmg increase by conviction should also be buffed greatly. 5% per skill level sounds reasonable.
Restoration should gets its SP recovery attribute back, as already mentioned.
Stone skin should als be buffed to cover all kinds of dmg and get a least a 1% dmg reduction per skill level. I’d also like an interaction with iron skin in the form of dmg reflect or dmg negation, so you can maybe build a tank monk.

Yeah, Paladin is a really popular class and is on top tier builds, but that’s pretty much because of how other cleric physical classes aren’t doing too hot and that he has sinergy with both Inqui and Zealot. To be blunt, the only reason Paladin is doing fine is because of how overwhelming Inquisitor and Zealot are, together with Priest-Oracle being the absolute support duo, making pairing Oracle with Inqui/Zealot kind of awkward in a party environment.
I couln’t express more of how Iron Skin is an useless skill atm. And more than that, other than kicking up it’s dmg reduction, they should also consider turning it into a rank 2 or 3 skill. Spending 15 points in a self defense skill is overkill.
Also, please improve the Devotion attribute, it only helps you suicide.
Resist Elements, has an Enhance attribute, at 15 levels, 5% per level, you would be at 75% without Enhance which goes over 100% with max Enhance, at which point you would become immune to Elemental damage.
Stone Skin there is a bigger arguement for, it does deserve an increase, but remember it also has an Enhance, so atm the value is 6-10% where are you’re suggesting 15-24%, on top of Enchant Jewels and Legend Blut, and Armor set effect, and Resist Elements.
Demolition needs to lose it’s cast time and most of it’s animation if it’s supposed to be a PvP skill. Everyone moves far too fast to land it outright and CC chaining is a bad idea by design.
So did anyone on kTest test out if Sadhu Druid Lycan human form work while your in out of body or will the buff from Lycan form be canceled out.
What is the problem that Iron Skin could get up to 15-24% reduction? Yeah, you have other means to get tankyer, but they are general and the discussion is about class design. I surely know that of all things Paladin can do well compared to other classes, taking damage isn’t really one of them and a 15 point, full 100 attribute skill getting a 10% reduction doesn’t make it by a long shot.
I don’t know what is the best course of action to take against Demolition, but targetting the CC or not, it needs a substancial damage buff.
I don’t think Resist Elements is in a bad spot, just wish it had a way to get 100% uptime, even if it had to lose some numbers to get it.
Sorry if I’m being annoying but I’ve been looking for the max stats in the legendary 400 and couldn’t find it yet.
Would anyone know the caps?

Guys will only Earth Tower that lower the cost, or velcoffer essence cost will reduce too??
Just ET right now and re-roll fees are unchanged. Presumably only 85M to make a 330 weapon (Velcoffer is less than 20M more in re-roll)… so… still not worth doing
any info yet about if lv400 legend set effect for debuff immunity up to lv3 or not?

Huge change here. In fact, you get one hour once you handle the seal, period. It’s like using an exp tome. Once this runs out, your contribution is done. This will change a lot of things…
Even IF it comes hundreds of years too late… I am very happy to finally witness dungeon entries in Fedimian again

Been taking a break from the game, but some of these changes are interesting. I may want to try Plague doctor/Pardoner with those buffs to Discern Evil. Dekatos being magic damage too is interesting and has much better synergy to allow them to spread Discerning Evil on their own.
