Paladin in Arena of Honor

[XghostzX]

I want to start off by saying this, the Paladin class can not compete to any class in Honor PvP, no matter what level it is. After tons of experimenting (a.k.a tons of deaths) I have a few suggestions for a Paladin buff that could make the class have a fighting chance versus the insane amount of damage the other classes do.



1.) Let’s talk about Critical Hit:

The Paladin’s critical hit percentage is only at a very low 36 fully buffed using the critical force buff “Vital Force”.

- Let us compare this number to other classes:

~ Warrior: 54 Critical Hit fully buffed (includes
+100 damage from the “Rage” buff)



~ Archer: 61 Critical Hit fully buffed



~ Ranger: 60 Critical Hit fully buffed



~ Enchantress: 52 Critical Hit fully buffed



Now we can see from this simple comparison, the Paladin class 100% needs a critical hit buff to have any chance to compete.

2.) The “Holy Tempest” Skill



Holy Tempest does -30% hit for 3 seconds if landed, this is an extremely underpowered debuff, and this is the Paladin’s ONLY hit debuff. I think Holy Tempest should do -70% hit for 5 seconds with a 100% hit debuff if it actually lands, so it actually does it’s job. Most classes fully buffed will still have over 100% hit if Holy Tempest does land, which makes it a useless hit debuff.

Another thing, Holy Tempest only has a 60% chance to debuff, meaning even if it lands it might not debuff the enemies hit, however, any other class with a hit debuff if it lands its 100% of the time a hit debuff, Holy Tempest is not. This needs a rework.

- Let’s compare this hit debuff to other classes hit debuffs:

~ Archer: “Blinding Shot” does -70% hit for 5 seconds



~ Warrior: “Hell Scream” decreases damage by 70 and also does -70% hit



~ Enchantress: “Weakness” decreases damage by 70 and also does -70% hit



I feel like if the Critical Hit & the Holy Tempest hit debuff was buffed on the Paladin, it would be able to compete with the other classes. As of right now, the Paladin has zero chance versus any class in 1v1’s or teams in the Arena of Honor. These issues have been going on for quite some time now, and even players who do not play Paladin agree with me that it is WAY to weak for Honor PvP.

Thank you for reading!

For someone who has mained Rhino his entire PL career, Hook makes many valid suggestions that should be considered. Will drop a thanks when I'm on a computer!
