I’m playing as paladin c3, and we have this skill Barrier.
There is a passive that make’s it gives your magic damage every time someone tries to enter inside the circle. But the damage just works on the edges of the circle. I think barrier must damage even if the enemy is inside the circle. Since there is monsters that can enter the circle, and players can too. What you think fellow paladins?

The scroll don’t give damage at all.
I’m cleric 1, krivis 2, pala 3, Pardoner 1.
I agree. If they cant keep mobs and people from entering the circle, they should take a ton of damage if they do.

The paladin class is actually not bad, I would argue it is quite good. The class needs no buffs, it needs the thing that renders it redundant to be fixed.

Yeah, i love my class. But this skill is sort of “broken”. In my mind it should work more like a Sun fire cape inside the Barrier zone.
I just hit paladin 3 and I must say Barrier is indeed very bad.
Mobs often get through the barrier (even the ones that aren’t immune to knockback) and the ones that don’t get through will only take 1 hit every 3 seconds or so (and a pretty weak hit too, since it’s only 100% your MATK as dmg).
In dungeons people ask me not to use barrier at all because it spreads the mobs. It doesn’t even work as a “safe zone” for ranged players because many melee mobs will still get through it and hit the players inside.
Current usage is limited to earth tower due to how the map in there is designed (blocking corridors). And maybe in pvp against swordman classes (but haven’t tested that).
This skill really needs a rework. Either forcefully push any mob inside barrier back outside (like it should be, because right now only the edge of the barrier provides knockback and damage), or make every mob inside it take a damage over time like it’s been suggested in this topic.
Reminders that you need to actually get the class to C3 and then get Pard to get Barrier scrolls. That’s like saying Plague Docs aren’t good because Dispeller scrolls are a thing.
@Gringe Tbh I wouldn’t mind if it had a Cure-like stunlock, but that be asking for too much.
You have a point, you do need Pally C3 to craft barrier scrolls.
But the thing is, barrier usage is SO limited that as a Paladin C3 you won’t be using it 98% of the time. And the other 2% of time when you’re supposed to use it then people will have barrier scrolls ready.
Dispeller scrolls and Plague Doctors are completely different because status immunity is useful in many scenarios: almost every PvP battle and in many PvE situations as well.
Yeah, it’s got redundancy issues and the fact that it’s glitchy makes it even less appealing. I’m welcome to see it get changes, including Conversion. It’s just too buggy of a Pally skill that could be something pretty useful instead.
