this is an age old arguement but until something is done i believe i must remind the skill balancing team that paragons still exist. the same thing goes for other professions but this thing is gone to the point beyond ridiculous.
with all due respect to the skill balancing team and i mean this in the highest degree possible, have you forgotten that when you released nightfall you created a class called paragon?
a paragon at the moment is only used as an imbagon. do you see what is wrong with what i just said... 1 use in the whole game. the paragon is one of those classes i absolutely enjoy playing but when i go to pve with it they ask me to ping my build and i show some build other than imbagon. i am asked to change to the imbagon build and upon saying no they tell me that they have no use for me, even more so now with the HM missions. for this reason i end up H/H playing with my paragon in a game which i only play because actual skill is required and i enjoy the fact that other people are playing it with me.
with regards to pvp - HA, GvG, TA,RA,HB do you ever see a paragon? NO. what does that show? this shows that the class has become useless. therefore i come to my fundamental question. Do you really intend to render a class unusable as a primary profession after so many hours upon hours of scripting them? are you in any way masochists?
so, for the millionth time, fix that darned class.
Abond is useless, revert it. SoR is useless, fix it. DA, passable. SoP, useless, fix it. IJaFW, fix it, AoG, not even used in rspike anymore in ha, fix it. AoF, gah no comment. Cautery, /slitwrists.
and now witht he meta being made a split meta, what on earth is a party-requiring profession good for anymore. at least it was a bit concevable to take a para with Abond for a split maybe bonding the melee guys. now nothing. i know im saying this late but please i will keep nagging and whining till they are fixed because its a complete waste on both sides, both for players who spent so much money customizing one (me) and for you who have spent so much time and money to make one.
And by the way, sometimes it helps to listen and read posts which the community makes. skill balancers have their hands full with work but the players play the game and from what can be said some truth can naturally be extracted.
with regards to their power in 8v8. yes they are powerful but that is the name of the game, and they do not look so powerful to me when necros and mesmers are around. im sorry but if your mesmer or ranger can;t interrupt a DA, he is completely and utterly incompetant. and i never see anyone complaining about that partywide degen spell that hurts the backline so much
with regards to unremovability. true they cannot be removed but i heard well of silence, ulcerous lungs and vocal minority are really good vs paragons so don't say stupid things.
in conclusion i hope ANET start to think things through before executing certain actions and i honestly hope that instead of simply performing the updates they start talking PUBLICALLY about what they are about to do. 10 minds are better than 1 or 2. thank you.
