Idea: How about adding +focus to our defensive stance or as a new buff?

Turb · 09-04-2006, 04:36 PM

I would like to see SOE add +focus to our defensive stance, so we can heal better when under attack. This would help add balance when compared to warriors for our lack of mit buffs. It might even make our long-cast heal useable too. It wouldn't guarantee no interrupts, but make them much less likely.Or this could instead be a new +focus skill buff, castable on any friend or self, for a 1 concentration point cost. The paladin's faith alows the target to focus on their spellcasting in the presence of enemy attacks. Would be more useful than Divine Favour anyway, We could use more choices for our concentration point uses SMILEY

Dunno, maybe because focus is pretty darn useless? Of all the I improvements they could make to our class, that one really doesn't excite me at all.

Don't you think reducing interrupts would help?

Focus sucks, it does nothing to help with interrupts. As a crusader you get 50 when you dip below half and I still get interrupted like a beast when casting long spells.

How about adding +parry to our Defensive Stance, so we can makeup some [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] avoidance...+parry > +Wisdom by far.....seriously who the hell thinks up these things. We get +divine resists, which sucks....(the +magic is good, since a lot of T7 encounters use Magic), and +wisdom instead of parry.

Since in the offensive stance we get Str and Int what about adding Sta to the defensive stance. That has always made sense to me that the defensive stance should add to Sta and well as wisdom, but then again I just want pally's to be the best class in the game =D

I want god mode. We are holy fighters after all. Why not have devine intervention. You know like hey god...I got this problem can you hook a brother up.

Since I have 516 self buffed stamina, adding +sta wouldn't do much SMILEY

Stamina at end game is very easy to cap or get near capping...+parry is the best thing that could be added, since we are nowhere near the parry cap without it.
