best/fastest hero/hench with paragon? (HM)
AtomicMew
So what is the best hero/hench with a paragon? I know people say racway, but to be honest, I just don't see the point. It might just be me, but on paper it doesn't look like it does much damage. I've heard people say "auto-attack for 100+" but that's just BS. I auto attack for ~30-40... and that's just normal mode. Also, the build looks like it will have real problems with blocking/enchantments.
I've been looking at sabway, but the problem is that there's no orders... which is pretty essential for an imbagon because of dark fury. So I'm thinking sabway minus n/rt healer plus derv orders, but then it seems like a waste of a slot when my character is the only one really benefiting from it.
So, does any paragon want to share some enlightenment?

Dark fury isnt essential for an imbagon. Havent really started my gon yet, so otherwise I dunno. I really like sabway, and I personally dont think orders is really necessary on it. You could possibly sub orders skills onto the N/rt healer.
AtomicMew
Well okay, orders isn't "essential" but it helps a LOT. Without orders if you get blocked, you have SY! downtime. You also probably wouldn't be able to spam your attack skills without orders.

thats about the best a paragon could be imo

I use Discordway with Splinter Weapon. My paragon uses Spear of Fury which would recharge SY even when blocked.

With a discord type steup, run crual spear w/ vicious attack imo.
That's what I'm doing on my sin, so maybe vicious attack will be a little less effective
You can still carry SY, you maybe won't be able to maintain it 24/7 but it's not like you're going to need it.
Dark fury is a great hex to bring in this situation. I know on my sin I can spam asura scan, you may be won't be able to on a para.

Why it always has to be discordway or sabway? DOnt mind answering, i alrdy know the answer: beacause people dont know how to play and N/Rts are the best heroes you can get.
How well i would say to the hell whith that bulls!t (no ofense to anyone). I'm telling you, if i had enough people i would do something like this:
1 warrior earthshaker whith D-pact
3 paragons: basicaly, paragons whith suport skills and spear attacks and i would put flesh of my flesh oon one of them
1 N/Mo curses: mark of pain, barbs, SS, smite condition, smite hex, Great dwarv weapon...
1 dervish order healer: usual build
prot monk (RC)
Healer monk (WoH+Healparty or HB)
Warrior calls target, dervish spam orders,necro hexes target and paragons spear them to death (and it would be darn fast to kill everything).
Since, u prolly dont have people, i would say:
Heal and prot heanchies+fire and earth henchies. Koss (hammer build whith lots of KDs. many people say heroes work bad whith hammers on their hands, but to the hell whith that since u dont have any human arround.... just call the targets and koss will folow them...things will dye dont worrie), Sousuke on SF with glowing and stuff and maybe Magrid or Morgan as spear chukers.
Next week i might do some stuff hard mode in Nightfall (would do other areas, but i only have completed Nightfall whith my paragon yet. It bores me to hell play pve whith heroes and hench) with my paragon. gimme a shout if u want some humans arround (no i'm not retard or bad payer, i only hate to play alone with H/H)
ING: Oo Deus Ex Oo
I hope i'v help you and get out of the usual stuff u'll read in here (not that things are bad, but just the same story all the time)

I run a standard imbagon with Sabway and he smashes through pretty much everything in HM. Other builds could be better. This one is damn easy.

i bolded the part where you messed up. try racway

It's difficult to deny paragons when they're giving you an implacable wall of defense through 10,000 different shouts.
I remember running 6 paragons, 1 nec, 1 monk in HM FoW; the moon ran boonprot
Discordway is lazy way, but you have much less defense.

I'd say racway, really good synergies, rly powerful. Another option is necroway, either normal sabway or discordway.

Weak skills with weak synergy are, well, weak.

You came here for help? I think you must be lost, this is Guru.
Minions primary purpose is actually to serve as decoys, a very powerful defense when your guys aren't even being attacked. Their secondary purpose is of course tons of domage, but you can't really control where the damage goes. An Imbagon provides an insane level of defense all on his own (80%+ damage reduction) so that you don't need the minion defense just to survive, and while dealing less DPS than full sab setup, the damage is perfectly focused on high-priority targets that you call. This allows dangerous or healer mobs to be downed quickly, so then you just have an easy battle mopping up the remaining enemies. ALF71BE
Who cares?
Paras are imba. Worry when you play a profession that requires 0.00001% more skill. Until then, just run whatever floats your boat. Go Sabway but put Dark Fury on the curses necro, you don't need a high blood magic investment anyways, and run some N/Mo with heavy hex removal and you're set. 82% less damage really makes a difference, dunno if you noted. ALF71BE
No, the Paras aren't. The team is, though, and then seven allies can both focus on keeping the Paragon alive and deal damage to the enemies.
Besides life stealing, I can't think of any other very dangerous insta-gib damage that the Paras don't protect against. Everything else just can't be spammed enough to be threatening, and you have the N/Mo I mentioned to remove hexes from you (Divert Hexes). And in the case of life stealing, the henchies are able to outheal it. Further more, since you're using Dark Fury you might as well bring a melee henchie, who will take the life stealing and leave you alone. Racthoh
Dark Fury is not required to maintain a near permanent uptime of "Save Yourselves!", especially after the buff. Dark Fury allows you to use your attack skills more frequently as energy is less of an issue. However it should be noted that unless you are fighting something that can heal itself/others, there is really no reason to use the attack skills at all. With the damage reduction of "Save Yourselves!" and "There's Nothing To Fear!" the henchmen AI is more than capable of keeping up with whatever damage you may suffer. Healer Henchmen from Factions are an exception since they use Blessed Light to removed Cracked Armor caused by Aggressive Refrain; stick with the Protection and Spirit henchmen for Cantha.

You have the choice of looking over an area to see if any of that is necessary. "Save Yourselves!" makes weakness rather unnecessary, minions are about the same but at least they can explode with Death Nova and hopefully hit something. Enchantment Removal isn't entirely necessary when you have access to Daze, swap to another target, or simply wait for it to expire. When I'm zoning to an area I'm going to optimize my bars for what I think will be the most difficult and frequent encounters. I have Morgahn posted with Hexbreaker Aria to basically say "put what you want here", because in a lot of situations it simply isn't necessary.
Discordway is going to be the better choice on the basis that Soul Reaping probably won't be changed ever again and the odds of PvE skills getting nerfed are just as slim. That and people who run triple necro teams do so with ease but I get people asking me why they keep dying with my setup. -Lotus-

Yes I know. Read again please. You have seven other, near invincible allies, that can and should both protect you and deal damage to the mobs.
so i herd you could link skills from ur heros to ur keyboard and then not die if you're being so annoyingly disturbed by the mobs. Quote: |
