well after my attempt at survior on assassin (got to 485K XP then Error-7'd, came back to find a death ) ive decided to try for L3 Survivor on my Paragon to be, and thinking about it, i belive a Paragon is the single best character for survivor, why?


1: High Al, with 80 Base AL, And a Sheild, the Paragon is at 96AL, throw in a constant Watch yourself, you have 116AL vs Everything, this is less than a warrior (who has 116 Elemental, and 136 Physical in the same situation), but the warrior is also at the front of combat, where the Paragon Stays at the very back

2: Awesome Self Defense Skills, the paragon is tottaly self reliant when it comes to healing and defensive buffs, and can do this while still helping the rest of the team out

Its like taking the reasons a Warrior makes for a good survivor, and combining it with the reasons a monk makes a good survivor, and then also throwing in the reasons a Ranger makes a good survivor!

I think we'll see plenty of survivor Paragons

From what I've seen Paragons and Rangers are the ultimate survivors.

I think he meant that the 96 of armor + shield and the +20 of watch yourself boost the paragon to 116 and not 126.

I agree, a good Paragon will be nearlly impossible to kill. I tested a Paragon 1 hour in PvE and he/she learn an overpowered self-heal skill just in the tutorial.

Edit: Leader's Comfort, that's the skill, I was healing 100+ per 2 sec at 5 energy cost, with ZERO in Leadership.
