No Paragon's just have the added advantage of three classes rolled into one character plus passive defense. They are gimmicky, stupid and broken ever since their introduction; thats why they suck(suck meaning i hate them not bad in skill and ability). But this isnt a paragon dicussion thread.

So if this is really real, the theroetical drop rate is one every 2 years? Or if it only drops from that chest then one every month? (since we have no idea how many people have cleared the uw since the addition of that chest).

PS- Oh and HawkofStorms, barrage ranger my not take much skill to play. However, who ever controls aggro and leads the group, be it a warrior or ranger or whomever, does take skill. Don't bash a group just because of one person. Its like saying monking is a cake walk, besides all they do is sit in the back and heal people when necessary and staying out of the enemy's way. So you some a monk up by saying all they do is click+heal and repeat.
Just think a bit before you make a half ass post is all i'm saying.

Oh well, my para has a new addition to her HoM at least.

Damn, I would have loved to have come with.

Jeremy Untouchable · Nov 05, 2007, 08:12 PM // 20:12

we did it in 2 hours 10 minutes. no ET but it was fun..

On a side note...UW hardmode is killer

Hott Bill · Nov 05, 2007, 08:22 PM // 20:22

We cleared the UW 1 Hour 46 Min's. NM But still not bad. And none of us got a eternal blade, all crap chest drops.

Jeremy Untouchable · Nov 05, 2007, 08:38 PM // 20:38

this is the worst area in the game when it comes to new people, take a quest here bam

I can't count the number of times I've been in a pug and told them repeatedly not to go randomly taking quests only to have them do that exact thing. Then of course no one wants to fess up to it and they all blame each other.
So, we've either got insta death, an hour of bitching at each other and then insta death or panicking followed by insta death....

Though I did get one group last week, who after screwing up and taking the Unwanted Guest quest, and panicking for about 10 with me explaining how to correct the mistake about 5 or 6 times, managed to actually get it done. Of course I had an ele in the group insisting we don't do anymore quests until we've finished Restore the Monuments. About an hour and a half and only got to the quest the with Ice King before wiping.

Lol. You've clearly not been in many B/P groups. Nobody controls aggro in B/P groups (5 B/P rangers, a MM, a monk, and an orders necro). The aggro is controled by the meat shield of 5 pets and minions.

My post isn't half assesed. Everybody knows B/P groups are mindnumbingly easy, that's why they are so popular in PUGs. They are so hard to screw up.

Since we were talking about the UW, I assumed you were refering to using barrage rangers as part of a group, since you can't run a b/p group in the UW. But if your just refering to a b/p group then i aggree. Its simple and hard to screw up, unless the MM sucks. And if the MM sucks you die.

But whatever, its wasn't my intention to start an arguement...well partly, but anyway.

Shadowfox1125 · Nov 05, 2007, 11:48 PM // 23:48

This is exactly why I'm glad I started a Paragon instead of a Derv when NF was released. Wheeee!

stuntharley · Nov 06, 2007, 12:31 AM // 00:31

Paragon's are broken to say the least.

Thats why we run them in HA. ;p

Sasuke The Betrayer · Nov 06, 2007, 12:54 AM // 00:54

Although Iknow this is a bit out of topic, what's the best way to do The Four Horsemen? I seriously screwed up when I focused on the bosses eventaully getting overpowered on by all 4 horsemens. Is it better to get one person and then attack them at their spawn in 2 groups? Or tank one side and kill one side, and then clean up the tanked side? Thanks

Also, Eternal Blades are awesome O.O. Although they have no use for GW2 so I'd probably just sell it if I were to get one.

Savio · Nov 06, 2007, 02:56 AM // 02:56

Four Horsemen thread is --> here

Starting from the reaper isn't terribly hard, so long as you don't pull Aatxes to the reaper. Which unfortunately happens when people panic.

Oh wait, what was this thread about? Eternal Blade? Oooh, shiny.

Pirates Arrrg Matey · Nov 06, 2007, 03:12 AM // 03:12

A single Paragon has been ridiculously broken since the release of Nightfall. People still refuse to see that. Their loss.

Onarik Amrak · Nov 06, 2007, 04:12 AM // 04:12

Wyvern Blades are hideous though.

Runic Blades I like.

excuse me i dont think you could be more wrong this actually made me LOL parragons are beyond belief good in a group but w.e i agree with you lets make them better >_<

carnage-runner · Nov 06, 2007, 07:14 AM // 07:14

My Para is prepped, i'm stoked on the new blade. Definately get one while you can, this seems like it's gonna be a sephis sword/axe all over again. Everyone wants one, really rare, really cool... Then worthless in a few months. Not saying it isn't cool and I haven't asked the Ghostly to let me try it out a few times... But honestly how can this one weapon stabilize the economy...

Shoulda been Tyrian stats:P
