Mini necro here but I figured I shouldn't make new thread just to ask this - I have a lot of trouble in this map with my paragon on account of all the soothing spirits, since I rely pretty much entirely on adrenaline to function.
I am, however, able to vanquish MQ in a reasonable 15 minutes with just h/h.
Am I better off just sticking with MQ on my paragon or trying to build my heroes up on another character (mes or rit) in order to be able to vanquish SS in 20ish minutes?
I'm afraid I don't know Paragons from a hole in the ground, but when I started Silent Surf I had roughly the same problem with my customary adrenal warrior. I did passably well by adding Dark Fury on a necro (needs 5 blood magic) for +1 adrenaline per hit, and using scythes or daggers to get more hits. I did better by switching to energy-based Warrior's Endurance builds and giving up on adrenaline as the core of my build. I'm not sure if you could do anything like that with a paragon.
The rit did work well for me on SS. They don't need adrenaline or enchantments (lots of Disenchantment around), they can lead from the front and ball targets (with Summon Spirits to tank), they're resitant to Backfire spam because binding rituals aren't spells, and they have spare time to loot.
FWIW, I got 15 minutes like you on MQ and SS took me about 24.
