lol back when NF came out, 4 Incoming paragon at 12 or 16 command can upkeep it I think

I need to find the thread where i said this so i can quote it, but

in pve, your lovely mesmer hero is good with draw, and doesnt are about energy much due to things like power drain

hmm yes that could work out decent but that would change the entire way the skill works.

Song of Purification is not bad. Look at it this way; your whole party are rid of conditions easily in condtions heavy area and your monks save a slot. A better alternative to Cautery Signet (15 secs recharge) IMO.

*sigh, you kinda asked*

The skill does work... it just doesn't work good.

Wow... So much fail... you are sooooo baed!

Paragons are one of the most imbalanced classes in all of guild wars especially when spoken about in GvG.
The more paragons a team has is directly related to how much spiking power the overall build will have.
Another Great thing about paragons is that they have other purposes besides damage dealing that can make them that much better. A paragon can bring interrupts, defensive skills, and enchantment removal. All of these things are vital to a GvG team build and having them on paragons means the team will have that much more pressure to go along with their shutdown capabilities.

Before flaming what I am saying and telling me I am wrong, I want you to ask someone that is an experienced GvG player if paragons are significantly weaker than other classes. I can almost guarantee that they will be incredibly outspoken about how paragons are far superior to other classes.

Ask that same player who IS a weaker class and I can almost guarantee they will tell you the Necromancer is. Unfortunately, there are so many RA and HB scrubs in this forum that the Necromancer's utter failure in GvG is overlooked.

I predict that the only reason why people that visit these forums say that paragons are weak is because they only play RA, TA, HB, or PvE. My response to thses people is:

If you play RA, TA, or HB --> In a 4 man team, paragons are going to be weaker because their shouts are less effective because there are only 4 people for them to be put on. Also, the paragon's shutdown capabilities are somewhat limited to shutting down Aegises, Diversions, Defensive anthems, and other key skills that don't see as much play in the low level, arena style PvP matches.

If you play PvE --> You use mending wammos and think that Assassins are bad because they don't "tank" well... so your opinion simply doesn't matter.

EDIT: People are saying that "Incoming" is a bad skill. You couldn't be more wrong! You obviously don't know how to use it, for the same scrubby reasons above. Incoming is a great spike deterrent. Imagine you are fighting a spike group in a GvG, the Paragon can use Incoming right before the enemy team uses their spiking skills so, when the spike hits it's target, it does significantly less damage, thus saving the targeted player from a quick yet very painful death. The only reason why this skill isn't of use in the current meta is because spikes are no where near prevalent enough to necessitate an elite skill to deter them. If, some day, spiking does because a major factor in GvG, you may see more balanced groups bringing this elite.
