The fundamental problem of the paragon

Why would you need energy on an adrenaline based person O_o Like I said, that's the problem.
This just leads to an adrenaline guy being able to do energy skills. Whereas the whole reason why he has adrenaline is to make up for the fact that he shouldn't be able to do energy skills.

Normally I run majority of energy skills with a few adrenalin.

I find the biggest problem I have, Is I'm used to Warriors. Many times I look at all the paragon chants and I go "I wanna use this! I need to use this one!" etc etc. but then I totally forget to put attack skills in there. Being used to the warrior, I feel naked without around 4 attack skills, at MOST I bring 2 with the paragon.

Sometimes I don't bring any at all and I'm just a buff machine. I get annoyed at the 2-0 damage spear damage I'm doing however. Then when I bring 3+ attack skills, I'm annoyed at the lack of paragon buffs that I wanted to use, but couldn't fit.

Sometimes I wish the paragons skill bar had 3 extra slots lol.

Basically, if the paragon is balanced around PUGs, they will be overpowered in organized groups, and if they are balanced around organized groups, they'll be underpowered and useless in an unorganized PUG. This is very true. Imbagon aside, before the update paragons already worked very well in organized groups who build around each other (predominantly physical heavy groups), but less than lackluster in PuG groups. Previously it was already possible to replace a backline with 3-4 paragons while bolstering warrior performance (throw in orders on a caster well out of range and it can be truly devastating). While effective and easy it was just never easy enough to organize to catch on in pug play.

The update bolsters the paragon's ability to support a physical heavy team even more and I wouldn't be surprised to see non-imbagons in physical groups. Likewise I'd also not be surprised if PuG's still only take imbagons.

The other issue is that most paragon skills have no soft counters. Shouts cannot be interrupted, can be used on the ground. All of the chants/shouts/echos cannot be removed at all. We've seen the same issue with rit weapon spells, though in this case there is no indication of any shouts present and a player is not limited to having only one shout. It is a system that has to be watched very closely.

Ultimately the paragon suffers from bad design; it is a class that hails from a region that resembles Africa, it specializes in shouting and throwing spears. Even the conception of the paragon was poorly designed.

the biggest problem for the male paragon, they wear miniskirts I'm pretty sure you'd be skimping down into an armpred skirt if you ran around in the Elonian desert and in places with the name "The Desolation".

If your guild / alliance grouping take your paragon your Team mates will Love you
Para has been my main for 2.5 years, and initially my guild didn't think i was much help to the group because what paragons do isn't obvious like warriors, necros, and eles.

then they tried going through HM dungeons and missions without me... they got wiped in some of the first mobs, and i get invited along quite often now.

My paragon is may main char for less than 6 months but is very helpfull in many dungeons, missions, my guild always invite me because whit a few monks (really we use Livia as a healer) we can complet the majory of the dungeons, if I play like Imbagon, but have anothers builds using Ursan, bip, healer and others, not so good like a monk/necro, but when we don't have then, paragon fit and an extra protection ever is wellcome.

Ah.

You cant do all alone , may sound lame but "sunspears never fight alone" . Paragons power increase DRAMATICALLY when they are 2+.
Try to do all alone is just like ask a Monk to heal , prot , buff and entire party ALONE, knockdown targets ( with smitting prayers ) , and interrupt casters for e management and preventing damage from hostile spells.
Try to coordinate skills and in combat tactics with a physical party with 2 or 3 paragons or even more ; only 6 P , 1 healer and 1 MM buffer .... its insane and it works with minimal effort.
