paragons need a major buff and it is easy to show because they have one of the worst skills ever made......

Worst class? Least favored class in pvp? That's why paraspikes are the ones that are most able to hold halls for a long time? Agreed they're not as good in smaller groups, because less people are affected by your shouts, but that's the cost some skills have (it's like saying heal party and aegis suck because it only affects 4 people in RA and asking to buff those skills).

And just because they have one of the worst skills in the game doesn't mean the rest of their nicely powered skills should get buffs. Stuff like skull crack, amity, unyielding aura, balthazar's pendulum, archer's signet, and expert's dexterity are just as useless if not more. That's not the reason why those classes should be buffed though, and ANet won't buff those classes just because a few of their skills suck.

yea let me say something, [skill]skull crack[/skill] i use, [skill]Amity[/skill] i took halls with an amity build, [skill]unyielding aura[/skill] is fun to use, [skill]balthazar's pendulum[/skill] has POSSIBLE uses, [skill]Archer's signet[/skill] doesnt suck at all, and [skill]expert's dexterity[/skill] is lame but not as bad. they dont need buffed. but i just named one skill MOST of paragons skills suck, hell they even nerfed one of few good ones, i had high hopes for [skill]"It's Just a Flesh Wound"[/skill] but it was nerfed, and [skill]"Incoming!"[/skill] was fun but once again paragons got boned so yea

i never play as the powefull classes (warrior, assasin, dervish) as everyone makes them beacuse at first becuase they think they will pwn.

I made a paragon on nightfall to completet the game with and love them; my favourite skills are; They're on fire, Anthem of Flame and leadership signet.

agreed. its fairly irritating having to invest up to lvl 9 in an attribute which has nothing to do with your build

If only paragons had their armors with wings...

If only paragons can stab enemies with their spear...

Then everyBODY will love paragon.

And i agree, paragon is a support class. I will surely dislike the paragons more if they be a Damage maker. Paragons should be High supportive class and Mediocore Damage.

Warriors have Shields tied to Strength ( yes its their primary) and tactics, but you can't really make a warrior pure strength now can you?

You can however make a paragon full Leadership.

First of all I run 16 wep and everything else goes into strength. and the few little points left go into tactics to help lions comfort, I DONT TANK, TANKING IS STUPID, unless your in a high end area such as DoA or Urgoz. why? cause most enemies will maybe hit you once or twice then target the squishy monk behind you. Some people will call me stupid but I prefer to beat the ShT out of my enemies rather than tank dmg that Im not getting hit with. And strength has some nice armor boosting skills as well.

So YES you can run all strength. And NO I dont die alot.

So Paragons having sheilds tied to Leadership would NOT be overpowered you sugesting that idea is jsut silly in the first place. If a Spear was linked to it then yeah but not sheild.

Why do Strength req shields cost more? higher demand more use.

Paragons Desperately need a shield tied to Leadership, if your convinced they would be too powerful explain where in the hell you got that idea. its not like any skill at Leadership 16 or 13 with Spear at 16 or 13 would just make the paragons dominate, thats rediculous.

Paragons are a support class so they dont really need much more spear skills or big dmg spear skills. However they do need some of thier shout/chants/Echos boosted a little, or some more added. The skills they have now could become really good with just minisule changes. Looking around at some of threads some of the people want them to becomre rangers, having more conditions and stronger attacks ect. or Eles with big dmg AoE shouts (yes you can make them do good damage anyways though without boosting attack skills). They arent meant to be a dmg dealing class, but in the state they are in they arent much good unless theres at least 2.

Yes Paragons need some love.
