Hey Royals, I opened a Pally and I think to myself if Pally is good at LHC? There is the hammer skill but it doesn't show any dmg... thank you
I grinded almost daily at LHC with my paly when it first came out, from 17x to 200. The only mobs with elemental weakness in LHC are: Crocky: Fire Blood Reindeer: Ice Grey Vulture: Lightning Castle Golem: Lightning But the only mobs people usually run at are Blood Reindeers and Bearwolves (no weakness). I've only ever done one run at Bearwolves with my Paly. But with Bearwolves having no elemental weakness, our damage pales in comparison to other melee attackers. Blood Reindeers is where we shine since its weak in Ice. And since Ice is already maxed in 3rd job, you can start doing LHC early on. Hammer does 199,999 damage to any mobs with HP above 200k and is a great skill for grinding in LHC. If you plan to do daily runs at LHC, i recommend adding Hammer for that sweet low CD after your core skills have been maxed. If you use hammer on the middle platform, you will be able to hit mobs on all 3 platform (top + mid + bot). Easily doing 199,999 dmg to 15 mobs. And with max Hammer, doing 199,999 dmg to a bunch of mobs every 20 seconds is just fun Warriors in general are also great in LHC since we can rush and magnet the mobs. Hope this helps you. And have fun in LHC~
Having 1 Pally also helps because of the Threathen skill. After the recent buff, it now reduces the % def of the mobs, which increases the party DPS. I haven't done the math, but I reckon it's quite a bit!
DK and Hero definitely outshine Paladin at LHC, but I'd say that it's still good! As others have mentioned, yes HH and Threaten are good, but the main grinding mobs don't have elemntal weaknesses which sucks. So you'll be whited no matter what because ACB damage sucks, but you still get good EXP and rewards.
Since Update 73.3 in August, the skill has become quite useful and Page/WK/Pally should max the skill as part of their build, or retroactively reset it using SP resets
