In the New Source , Page can reduce both mobs and bosses' weapon defence and magic defence by 20%. Would this make Page a crucial part in future PQs and bossing ?
Here's my take -> if pink bean ever gets released, they would definitely need at least 1 paladin: To reduce the statues/pinkbean defense; making it faster to kill within the time limit To lower the damage dealt during pink bean runs; e.g. Ariel statue 13k dmg to 10.4k dmg, easing the burden on lower-hp attackers which have paper hp but is so crucial to quickly killing pinkbean And since they would need as much DPS as possible for a fast pinkobean run, they will hire the best paladins if possible. So there is hope for paladins to be compulsory in boss runs!
Probably not. Defense is pretty much irrelevant at the moment on royals. Pink Bean won't come for a while if it even does come. If/when it comes paladins might be a little more useful. But they will still be pretty bad.
