I'd never kick a paragon off my team if he pinged me a good build. Unfortunately, most of the time I get a retarded build with 8 different spear attacks. Of course that's true of all the classes when you pug.

So according to Stormlord Alex, I'm neither PvE'er or PvP'er. u sound really bad

Can Warriors achieve ranged deep wound*? No.

Paragons are much more than just buffers or support. An all paragon team does higher DPS than an all Ursan group and heals and buffs at the same time... go figure. They have the fastest attack rate ig. Spear throwing FTW. Also...

Paragon skills are easily misunderstood by most players. They see them as looking "gay" and won't play them. I will take a good paragon over a good warrior anytime, mainly because they help out the party more.

I would say....the floofy looking armor

But yeah, the average PuG is full of FAIL. Most just can't handle variety. I remember when Sab's necros were becoming popular, I PuG'ed out of morbid curiosity (and bordom) and they asked if I had a hero healer, and I pulled out that necro....man I wished I took a screen shot lol.

That still happens! I have a couple E/Mo Healer builds I use for melee damage and I had one leader of a PuG kick me and called me a noob. lol

i think the main reason is the bad publicity...

every1 is crying about all the nerfs a para gets.
And many PuG are to retard to understand that paras (still) aren't a 'piece of crap' because of those nerfs

Today I did Catacombs HM with a PuG as a Para... We had 1 human monk with his healer hero... Wow, he was so proud of himself to keep the whole team alive, boasting all the time. Sometimes it even looked like this group had a mysterious +100 armor all the time.... Strange, isn't it?

Kept this for me, didn't want to spoil his fun. But I bet those guys would've never guessed it was me who kept them in godmode.

I don't even have factions yet, so I cant get SY, but seriously, I love my paragon. I started a derv and a paragon, and havent played my derv in a couple days.

anthem of flame+barbed spear+burning spear for a follow up = 6 seconds of -8 dps, and -3 stays on until you can repeat. I wouldnt call that bad dmg, and then you add in the other chants and such like TNTF, basically this is my favorite class since I started playing.

That is amazing! How'd you do it you sorcerer!?

/EndSarcasm


When I first saw SY, I was like "No armor for me! Screw that!"

Now I'm older and wiser-it's a fantastic skill.

I do hope Paragons stay for Gw2. They are the most insanely powerful and fun class in Guild Wars.

I think Paragons will get the axe....

Not because they should, but because:

90% of PvE players are retarded and think they "suck",

and

90% of PvP players hate them because they are "overpowered"

Paragons need to stay for GW2.
And I don't think people should exclude them because they are "overpowered"
GW2 is an entirely new game, and the idea of a class using solely shouts and spears is one of the best ideas yet.GW2 will give ANET a chance to fix the paragon for example.
They will have cooler armor which I predict will look more like the norn armor, and they will probably have a better balance in their skills(Not 20% overpowered skills and 70% useless skills)

Although I think the main reason people don't use paragon much in gw1 is because the spear mastery skills are only so limited, and a lot of the skills are useless.It is the few amount of things which makes paragon attractive though, but when you think about it, good builds for para aren't versatile.Its Imba or ursan.

Most shouts have stupid requirements or after effects, such as "end when attack" or "under 75% hp" and the main effect isn't even good!

If they're on supporting duty, you love 'em. If they're on dmg dealing duty, you get jealous of 'em and hate them. Paragons are not required in a group such as a monk, but they certainly make ALOT of things a piece of cake. Paragons are just godly, both in PvE and PvP.
