Thanks,

How are Paragons PvP wise? How about PvE? Is it worth to get the Nightfall campaign to be able to use this class? Also, is it worth putting 100k into it?
Thanks,

Paragons are an inbalanced class, despite all the nerfs.
They have:
80 armour for a ranged character.
Damage that is comparable to a Warrior - at range.
The most powerful IAS in the game.
Decent DPS with extreme support.
Unremovable buffs.
Shields, which add even more defense.
Leadership, broken, passive energy management.
Getting the Nightfall campaign is good for all classes, as it has so many powerful skills open anyway.

because the majority of people who play Guild Wars are bad at it and think Paragons suck.
Tyla
Don't let the majority make your choice. The majority of this game's players are usually idiots who think they know everything with their Mending Warriors, tanking and other things even when those things have been proven wrong and surpassed in efficiency.
Not to mention that Paragons have access to the Imbagon, the most powerful defensive build in Guild Wars.

Paragons have some really nice looking spears, but the armor is terrible (at least for males). I went through about 4 elite armors in a week before I said screw it and bought FoW.

Because male paragons wear 'skirts', and people ignorantly can't get passed this fact. That's really the only reason.
I personally think male paragons look cool.

Haha! Between the man skirts and the augmented nipple armor, I can see why people think paragons to be the fruitiest class.
In an attempt to get back on topic, I love playing my paragon in PvE. With the right setup, you can dominate hard in fast. My experience in PvP is limited to alliance and arena battles, and I've usually run straight-up spear damage builds (something with stunning strike) which are still pretty effective. In summary, paragons look like butterflies but sting like Africanized bees!

Is the Paragon Primeval armor worth getting? I see you have to beat the whole Nightfall campaign to get it. Whats it like armor wise?

if you like how it looks, sure. there's no difference between max armors except the looks, they're all "balanced" all paragons have 80 AL with max armor

I personally think male paragons look cool. there's nothing ignorant about finding males in skirts aesthetically displeasing. it's ironic, your ignorance of the definition of ignorant.

And I believe he meant that, because of aesthetics, people do not make paragons. Ignorant may not have been the best choice of word (Perhaps foolish?) but it wasn't inherently wrong. Disliking a class based solely on aesthetics is a bit ignorant.
Luminarus
Paragons are cool, just I think its worth noting that whilst the imbagon is imbalanced, its more about button mashing then skill. I llike to make my own builds, for fun. Dont automatically take the PvX way out, and you'll love paras alot more.
Richardt
Also keep in mind that the PvX imbagon is terrible.
Actually, most of PvX falls under that heading. Rhamia Darigaz

Disliking a class based solely on aesthetics is a bit ignorant. choosing to play a class (in pve) because you like the way it looks isn't ignorant. neither is choosing not to play a class because you don't like the way it looks. ignorant would be thinking that paragons are mechanically bad.
We Dont Accept
not alot of people run paragon cause of ugly looks but in ha you see para all time ballance (spear pressure, para spike) if i was to heroway which i nvr wil i bring 2da paragons with deepwound and bleeding so it helps pressure and kite+deffence instead of eles ahmm they dont have best IAS assasins do and warriors are next followd by rangers then paragons.
