Paragon in AB

I wouldn't play para in AB because alone their spike damage is easily heal able. You can run a command paragon and use shouts for team buffs, etc... I still think Fire Ele is the best in AB for alter capping. Thanks for the reply. I have a Fire Ele I play sometimes, but it's not my cup of tea if you know what I mean.

I'll check out the command spells, any specific ones that you recommend?

So, I've finally unlocked every skill for the paragon, but I have yet to play the character. I feel like they have some secret/inherent potential to be a decent support or primary action character in AB, but I can't seem to put together a decent build.

Just so you know, I'm a seasoned ABer. I usually run a balanced Derv (condition, self-healing, condition and hex removal), and an MM. My other AB character was an A/E water magic spiker that got nerfed to hell back in the fall.

Regardless, I was wondering if someone could tell me what the strong/weak points of a paragon are. I am highly enthusiastic to play this class in AB, but I need to know how they're played.

Thanks in advance! if you are interested in para and see how overpowered they are in a team.... you need to start gvg or ha

I'd love to HA, but I'm not ranked, so I can't get a group ever.

Ah well, I'll try going to AB with my guild - it's an FFF/AB guild so I figure it'll be easy to organize around a Fall Back/Coward Para.
Should I add anthem of flame too?

goes well with aggressive refrain, so yes. From what I remember BGW members are more keen on FFF than AB, forming predefined groups in FF alliance is hard. Well, the the majority of the guild does FFF, but I AB with members of the alliance.

So I should use:

Anthem of Weariness
Aggressive Refrain
Fall Back
Coward

If I remember correctly, there's a pretty cool run spell that lets you run 25% faster for X amount of second, and its duration depends on the number of allies that are around you.

Fall back should be all the speed boost you need. I'd stick some spear attack skills, a self heal, and an adrenal shout for energy management on there.

Bash is great fun, if only for the lulz

Burning Shield or Shield Bash are also pretty good in AB, for raping any melee (notably instagank 'sins) that decides to try and kill you. Fix'd.

For AB, Anthem of Weariness, GftE are good for keeping refrains up and managing energy, as said.

Bash is great fun, if only for the lulz They are, but taking them drags you town to a single spear attack, which probably isn't ideal.
