Paragon questions

Hey I was wondering why does my paragon's shouts end at like 3 seconds? No mesmer around me to take away my shouts.

I'm still new to this, so I'm not sure what could be taking away my shouts, but it's really annoying because it's all a paragon can do. If I do the shouts when there is no battle going on, it's all fine, it's just when I fight things.

See if your shouts has "shout/chant ends if" in their description. Some of the shouts like those that heal players usually end when the target uses skill/spell etc.

Alot of the paragon shouts read something like this

Ends on next attack
Ends on next spell

So if you cast that one that makes your attack cause burning for a few seconds, it'l end on your next attack skill.

Most end on a condition that is easily met. Like Anthem of Flame ends when you use an attack skill, so if you use that and then use Barbed Spear it will end quite fast. You can't see when a shout ends on a team mate unless they are calling what is active on them and telling you when it ends. Heroes you can monitor by having their skill bar open though.

Thanks guys.

How do I open up the hero skill bars btw?

Hit P to open up party window, and you'll see numbers next to their names, and click on those

That's not right Sheik.

Hit K (just like opening your skills) while your hero is in your party. Then, at the top of the page, you should see pictures of you and your heroes faces. Click on they hero and it will tab over to them.

Also, make sure you are setting attribute points into your skills in the k menu to increase your skills effectiveness. That will increase the duration of some of your skills.

Also, for future reference, mesmers can not remove chants or shouts. They can actually not be removed by any enemy skill. They only end when their time runs out or their condition is met.

That's not right Hawk.

Magma said that you can monitor the chants that have been used on your heroes by openening up their skillbars, as in the ones that have their skills, health, energy, avoid combat etc. These are accessed by clicking the number next to the heroes name in your party window.

Hmm I didn't know Anthem of Flames ends when you use an attack skill, it doesn't say that in the description, or am I missing something here?

The two skills that I am having trouble with is "Go for the eyes" & "Find their Weakness"

Edit: nvm, it looks like I misunderstood. I think the skills only affects 1 person.
