Paladin /s 5 description

The description for this style (Cleansing Blade) doesn't accurately reflect the full extent of its effects. I don't have the text of it in front of me, but basically it says it increases crits. What it doesn't mention is the significant decrease in accuracy. Assuming the accuracy change is intended, could the style description in /s list be changed to reflect this?
 
Myself and afew others has brought this up before, i dont think it was intended to make us miss like crazy, but , alas it does. Before they changed the stance from criting on undeads only to critting on All it didnt seem to have a drop in accuracy. Im hoping the drop in accuracy was a oversight. plz plz.
 
Either way, the description is inaccurate =)

As things stand, decreased accuracy and all, the stance still offers a hefty DPS increase against undead, and I think (haven't parsed it, just impressions) a slight one against other mobs. Not exactly an uber DPS stance, and I rarely use it except against undead, but it definitely does come in handy at times.

Balancing the stance as a DPS stance is a topic for a whole different thread, though. My goal here is just to get the stance description to reflect the actual effects, whether that means changing the description to match the actual effects, or changing the stance to make it match the description.
 
when i prased it, it was 19% decrease in accuracy. Also against undead the missing factor makes me not use it ever.
 
Yes I have seen a similar decrease in overall accuraccy with the use of this style. I would ask that it either A. Be kept the same and a new style added /s 9 which would drain stamina more and provide + accuraccy and + crits or remove the accuraccy penalty from /s 5.
 
I think changes or the addition of a new style come down to the question of the paladin's role. If they really are meant to be sort of a crossover between a DPS class and a tank, then a style that significant increases their DPS for a couple of minutes (e.g. /s 5 without the accuracy decrease) seems appropriate, and would probably be a fair counterpart to the SK's new tanking style.
 
it has - Acc !!! :psyduck:

bah didnt' know that... no wonder It always seems like I miss a lot useing it.


Definitely no need for - Acc on that style.
 
Bump.

Also, as a followup request, could the description for the Fury of Light AA be made to reflect the fact that it only affects undead (assuming it's working as intended)?
 
For what it's worth, Monk's /s 12, the stance whereby a Monk while using a 2hb with a delay less than 40, loses the ability to double (or triple attack) but then gains the ability to score three times the amount of damage, seems to decrease accuracy. I'm not sure if it's intended, but it makes the stance relatively useless other than in duels when you want to impress noobs.

I'd say suck it up and accept that designers either don't have the ability to create unique styles that are fun to use and worthwhile, or simply cannot within the game dynamics and balance issues, allow for better, more usable, stances.

Either way, it's disappointing. :(
 
Hey, I'm not saying the style is necessarily wrong. If it's set up the way it's supposed to be, cool.

I'm just saying the description doesn't reflect the mechanics, and one way or another, I'd love to see that fixed. Both for the style and the AA.

There is no accuracy decrease.
