Urgent: release Paladin

Things are spicing up in our corner of the gaming world. In order to stay relevant and not get left in the dust, the Paladin class has to release with season 8. It’s the only way we will survive.

Who else agrees?

Somehow, I think we’ll be just fine.

We’ll probably get a shield-based class in the expansion.

I doubt it. I think the more it gets talked about, the more blizzard will stick to their guns and refuse to add classes from previous diablo games.

There’s many shield-based classes that have never been in a Diablo game

Valkarie
Templar
Shield Maiden
Phalanx
Hoplite
Legionaire
Zulu Warrior

Still waiting for a Bard hanging out at the auction house in between trips to the old fishing hole.
And sure, he could use his drum as a shield if that would make people happy. :long_drum:

Balancing the game is more important then adding a paladin, sorry not sorry.

Balancing will always be an ongoing process . It will never be perfect.

But its not even closed to being balanced. Balance is there #1 issue at the moment.

It’s almost unofficial confirmed, can’t quote but they said they were aware of the community desired old class when they went for the spiritborn while the forums and reddit was full with paladin requests so…

25 new skills, 100 new supports, 100 new uniques, new class, new ascendancies.

Should we do anything new?

Nah.

Ooh. I’d forgotten about that one. Odds are at least half of those will be interesting enough to fake-theorycraft with, and as many as ten might even be banger. :star_struck:

I’m actually looking forward to some stash cleanup just to see what I’ve thrown in there… which is weiiiiird.

Urgent why? Is someone badly hurt?

Very stark differences in the games and companies. POE 2 had some bad issues but it may be back on track by using the POE 1 devs. They are once again coming after D4 players. IF they make some substantial reworks of some systems they could steal a large chunk. The biggest block is XP penalty on death would have to go and other death penatlies put in place. POE 2 is still early access while D4 has been out for 2 years about so POE 2 is way ahead right now.
