Fixing Paladins

So what, we should rely on other classes hunting neutral monsters to get all our skillbooks?

Skelegon is the only huntable Holy monster for Paladin skillbooks (Achilles and Blast 20 afaik), Pianus also drops 4 necessary books (Magnet 20/30, Rush 20/30) but they are by no means huntable - I haven't even seen a Pianus since 4th job was released, and in addition Heros do more damage to Fire weak monsters than Paladins.


If I could at least hunt for my own skillbooks without sacrificing 1/3 of my damage I'd be a whole lot happier.

You can still kill them. You just do a tad bit less damage. If you were to say completely impossible to fight them Anego-esque, I'd have pity. Other then that, sorry to say, no. Your entire class is based off of elements and elemental advantage. You can still kill other monsters, just not as effective.
