Why use a Paragon to farm the beach when you can Warrior?
1: The Challange
2: To Evade Drop Degredation from over farming on the warrior
3: To Evade Boredem from doing the same run over and over on the warrior
4: To Increase your chance to be able to continue Beach soloing should a nerf hit the warrior build
Enduring Harmony
Soldier's Fury (Soldier's Stance)
Sprint (Watch yourself)
"Fall Back!"
"Sheilds Up!"
"Go For the Eyes"

12 Tactics
Weapon Set:1
Zealos Spear of Shelter (Killing)
+10 Vs Percing +30HP (Or -2 +45 Stance if you have Stance)
Weapon Set:2
Fiery Spear of Shelter (Drifts)
+10 Vs Slashing Preferably, if not -5 +30Hp (Or -2 +45 Stance if you have Stance)
This is for those experianced with the Warrior Beach Farm
driftwoods: These shouldnt be much of a threat, just keep using your shouts for healing
At the cave:
Lure the dryders with a longbow, then once youve pulled them a few meters, pummel them with your spear
VS Spiders, you can use enduring harmony to keep Sheilds up on 28/30s, if they are standing alone, just pummel them from range, your elite will ensure you hit the heal spring with plenty of time to spare, if they are bunched up, just go stand in melee range to prevent springs
Go for the eyes is used to trip Finalie every <3 Seconds (and thus, makes dryers easy as sin)
You can drop one point of spear and boost your motivation if you have healing problems, at the cost of a slightly slower run
Sprint Can be swapped out for Various Skills, Using Watch yourself will provide Extra Defense (Putting you on Par with a warrior) and also provide extra healing, this is reccomended only for experianced runners
When renewing Finale, you can swap to a +4 Motivation headpeice just when your activating it for maximum benifit, then keep the minor rune the rest of the time
You can use Soldiers Stance Instead of Soldies Fury, it will allow the use of a -2 Stance Sheild (Preferable, even better +10 Peirce and -2 Stance)
Should you become dangerously Low on health, activate Fall Back, Run Out of spiders sight (and run around for its duration) , heal up and then run in again, adrenaline builds so fast in this build its not to much of a setback (unlike warrior, who needs 10 Adrenaline to get rolling fast again)

With my 60 AL ele armor, they were still only dealing about 22 damage. That being said, even with shields up, the driftwoods will probably be easier than spiders.
Well there we go then, Amended
(despite having done dozens and dozens of spider runs, ive never tried tanking them without physical Resistance)

How is that relevant? This is a Paragon build..
Back on topic: Nice build. I'll be quick to try it out when Nightfall lands on my desk.

Bumpped up now nightfalls out, my paragons going for survivor, so i wont be testing this out, anyone fancy having a hack?

I've been considering taking a shot at the paragon as a Forest + Beach soloer. I've never done the beach run with a warrior though, so it may be challenging for me to figure out how to do it. I guess the advantage of being able to do both Forest + Beach with 1 character would be 2x the shards and cash drops, with 1/2 the chance at hitting the anti-farm code after a million tries.
Tainek
Added a /Me build, should be safer and faster
Arkantos
Gonna try this tonight on my paragon. Tell you how it goes.

Driftwoods are very weak under most circumstances. I am just posting this for those unfamiliar to the run, the key with driftwoods is to be stationary when you attack them. The only real damage they have at their disposal is protectors strike, but if you get hit by three at once it can do a fair amount of damage. Stay still and you will own them.
