very dissapointed of paragons during event!

I agree with Darksun, in real life I would never use a spear for melee unless it was for like what's it called where you run at each other on top of horses That's a Lance. I don't think the OP realizes there is quite a difference between a Polearm, Spear, Staff & a Lance.

they should make the paragons throw the spears at mid range and use it to stab/hack/[insert verb here] when the enemy gets in close range. or just make some attacks/skills/whatever that worked as that

lol i dun care about aggrroes, i only care about 15k armor paragon wings and how the spear-like animated llol So what, if Anet made like this, we can't really change the class just for.... that.

Look, about the animation, why the rangers haven't any Quivers anyway? Its not by the ass the arrows come from

Seriously, hear someone blaming just the look of an armor and the animation, the people start over and over again like Faction.

Don't mean to be anti-paragon, cos i think it looks awesome, but won't it cause issues with the aggro system? i.e forming an aggro bridge whereby the AI attacks the paragon instead of the tank then the spellcasters instead of the paragon, thus throwing a spanner in the works big-time for tanks..

Pls be nice and don't be know-alls, i was just wondering because I read a thread re:Aggro and it explained aggro bridges.

Any feedback would be appreciated! This is already a problem every tank faces. Necros, eles and rangers jumping in to attack too soon drag aggro away from the tank and bridge it back to the party. Any attack before aggro is set will cause the bridging effect. Its not like any party I have ever been in walks in formation by combat range like a real military group would.

You just gotta use the same 3 techniques as always to effectively tank:
1> Explain to everyone why they have to stay out of your aggro circle until they see all the bad guys attacking you.
2> since you know that never works, draw a line you dont want them to cross and pray they are looking at their compass
3> since you know that doesnt always work, keep your health LOWER than your party members so the monsters aggro on you anyway. Monsters primarily go after low health targets.

Note that hench parties (up until the flag was introduced -hurray) have been totally incapable of doing #1 or #2 so all you get is #3.

I agree with Darksun, in real life I would never use a spear for melee unless it was for like what's it called where you run at each other on top of horses O_O Why would you use anything like that IRL? We're not in the medieval times anymore.

By the way I've noticed there has been more and more people posting on GWguru who can't speak english at all. Reading it makes me want to strangle myself, especially when its an arguement about spears not being used to poke and instead being used to throw. :[

Lessons he should have learned:

1. Don't take what you see from a game as the truth
2. Don't base facts off Diablo II

I felt right at home with my Paragon during the PVE. During the PvP event, I couldn't stop laughing at how ludicrous the Paragon was - it really made me dispair at the profession.

The PvE event, however, changed my mind. I can't wait to play a Paragon.
