The one thing missing for Paragons...

My self and my Guild m8's agree, Paragons are missing something that would make them 100x better. No it's not a skill. No it's not a "SoLo build." No it's not a better dance move LOL.

The Paragon's need better Headgear!!! What is with this damn floating crystal in my head?!?! I have the armor of an ancient fighter from Greek/Roman times and you give me a floating damn crystal thingy in my head? UGH!

I wish I had a pic of what us Paragon's should be wearing on the battlefield, but for now I'll describe it the best I can untill I or someone else digs up a good pic. We should be wearing the Helmet of the Hoplites from ancient Greek times with the big Moehawk<<<Yes I know not politicaly correct oh well deal with it>>> on top which should be dyeable (the moehawk part that is should be dyeable) and would be BADARSE!!

100x's better I know it LOL.

You know, it shows something about you when you're the only one laughing at your own jokes.

P.S.: Yeah, you're wearing a skirt and the floating crystal's the problem. Right.
EDIT: Just for fun went to look at paragon ascended armor on wiki. All of them look gay. Seriously, every single one.

Arkain pretty much sed it. The only way a spear warrior would NOT look gay was if they looked like the 300 dudes. Try looking at a warrior with plated armour, a tactics shield and a spear, that's what paras shud look like... not pansies.

i think they do need a crested greco-roman helmet it to fit there armor style not the Hoplites helm .I wouldn't want paragons to look like the guys in 300 casue then my paragon will freeze to death in his little skimpy speedo and red cape. An why do we want to look like dumb tyrian(european) knights in full plate mail in the hot sun in elona(Africa)?

I agree,

paragon's need helmets... we could use something like the kournans have.



or something more stylish.

This was discussed during the beta event for Paragons and Dervishes last year.
The sun spears as a whole have better helms IMO. Something like what they have would be nice.

Anet seem to add strange-looking (and, in this case, bugged) neckpieces to otherwise beautiful armor. Like Warrior Platemail (standard) for example - why are those things not even symmetrical?

Cool pic at the bottom. I like the helm in the corner of it with the piece going down the nose.

@ ArKaiN: You know it says something about someone when they have nothing better to do but flame a poster laughing about something in their own post.

And as far as the skirt issue, it's not gay, some guys just have more junk that won't pack in those tighty whities you wear :P

I do agree that paragons needs helmets. The Sunspear paragons look so good in comparison to mine that it makes me cry.

that's what i've been thinkin.... I wouldn't mind a Grecian style helmet or something along the lines of that. The crystal is ok, i like it more than the ele crystals (why do i want a pebble floating on my head again?).

As for the skirts, I don't rly mind it because i mainly play a rit with a "kilt", but I had to make my para a girl. Male paras r cool, but the 15k sunspear armor with the nipple dots screamed " homosexual" just a little too loud.

And as a sidenote, female paras look like they could kick some ass

sorry.
....next you'll tell me "there's nothing gay about having sex with a dude, it's just being a good friend".

How about build variety? Although there are many, many ways to play a Paragon, but many of these roles are not exclusive to the Paragon. Its no wonder Paragons are marginalized by other classes and the general PVE community (however ignorantly); the class has almost no cookie-cutter builds.

A point, though not conclusive, can be seen simply by going to Guildwiki and counting the PVE Paragon builds; there are only 5 of them, considerably less than any other class. Furthermore, three out of the five are merely melee paragons using warrior/dervish skills.

The small number of fresh,viable builds severely limit options and fun, while the ridiculous number of trash skills which plague the class cripple build creativity. Very frustrating indeed.

Yeah that drawing looks pretty cool, thats what they should look like. The only set that exist thought that isn't that bad is the vabbian armor, i like the wings on the boots
