Buccs the new Paladins?

and no class will be even near as good as mages against multiple mobs and training

it is all about trade off...buccs are meant to be a support class similar to bishops rather than a solo classes due to their awesome party skills, they are pretty balanced since they do tons more single target dps at bossing than bishops

paladin on the other hand before update has suck dmg as well as no party skills

Trade off my ass. Don't say meant unless you somehow developed the class buddy boy.
