Ok, for real, how good/bad is Kronos?

[Theoloras]

Lawl so I'm now permanently banned from the Kronos forums for telling Psojed, the Paladin tester that he has his head up his ass:

Seal of Command should never fully resist ever - it can be blocked/dodged/parried but only Partially resisted against higher level mobs due to level resist:

Subject: Re: Seal of Command change After considering the posts in this thread we have decided to back this change out of patch 1.3.0 completely and re-evaluate the math behind this before making any further changes.

Yet he still claims that he is correct:

"In case of "SoC can never be a full resist", none their proofs specifies that SoC can never be a full resist, every proof only mentions a resist or a partial resist. Argument like "Seal of Command uses melee crit, so it cannot be resisted" is nonsense, since the same thing can be said about Judgement of Command. And the one posted video shows a ret paladin DPSing on golemagg, showing lots of partial resists. This was supported by an article about resistances on wowwiki (which clearly mentions that spells can also be fully resisted), and later by the original articles on Resistances by Blizzard, which also shows that spells have a small % chance to be fully resisted, so those proofs work against their case.

Finally, I did a test sample of SoC full resist vs. a boss level on Kronos, and the amount of fully resisted SoC procs in a 5 minutes sample was as low as 2%, which fits the original blizzard's description of resistance mechanics. Just because one video from retail does not show a full resist on Seal of Command, I won't conclude that a SoC cannot be fully resisted ever."

TLDR - Don't play on Kronos

^sounds more like an angry banned user than anything else.

Kronos isn't unique when it comes to paladins, most private servers paladins have screwed up mechanics.

If paladin is the end all be all for you, then maybe look at a different server, but the cold hard reality is that kronos is the only server out there that has the population to offer a true mmo experience. Most private servers are basically single player mode with the lack of pop they have.

Kronos is the worst by far man - it's to the point that I refuse to play there...

Understandable as you seem to prioritize paladin over anything else. For me, I need a good population to have fun playing wow and kronos seems to be the only vanilla server around that provides that.

Kronos is only the worst in your head because it fails to cater to your autistic needs of playing a broken spec.
