you seem to be confusing paragons with MONKs. you see monks heal and protect, which keeps a team alive, paragons can provide a few armor boosts and heals, which keeps a team alive, but not as well as a monk.

There is no worse class in my opinion. All of them bring different strengths and weaknesses, and none of them can completely dominate the other, based on different builds and such. Anet created the system of classes so one class didn't kill everything else, and to Coloneh, sure, Monks can heal and protect, but can monks increase overall party damage, overall party armor, (and I am talking about adding +24 armor to 8 people, that comes out to a bonus of about 192+ armor, idk if monks can do that...). Sure monks are there to heal and protect, and remove conditions, but paragons are like an offensive monk, with damage/healing/armor support capabilities.

Not as well as a monk....psh. You make me laugh.

omgsh how many times do we have to have this discussion. i thought all the assassin hate passed a long time ago and then this pops up. how many times do people have to tell these countless idiots that there isn't such a thing as a bad class, only a bad player.

Most times there ain't a monk around. And when he does I'd better hope the player controlling it ain't /afk It's the quick 4vs4 thing, btw.

I don't think any of you actually know what a paragon does, so I am gonna stop posting till you actually find out, cause it seems like I am completely wasting my time.

Paragon:

perma +100al using Focused Anger with "Save yourselves"
perma 35% dmg reduction with "There's nothing to fear"

So many spare attribute points.....go 16spear/13 leadship.....insane party buffs, high damage to go with it. How can you even attempt to compete with that?

All I can say is ignore the underaged trolls that have little knowledge of the game.

Sounds like you've grouped with a Ritualst/Mesmer/Paragon maybe once or twice, had no clue what they did, and assumed they sucked... therefore probably transforming you into one of those people who rage-quits at the sight of a Paragon joining his party.

Read what Cathode_Reborn said. Twice, preferably.

I probably know more about the game then you considering the amount of time Ive completed it and the amount of characters Ive made. I said in guild chat once [TAS] that paras sucked... I fougth both of them at once... on my necro, and won. Sdfu... I dont care what they do, they are useless imo.

They need to have a thing on this forum where you can't post until you have been registered for at least 1 month And also, 1. your an idiot 2. you probably have never tried HM 3. Sins can solo anything, but what if I blind you? then wtf are you gonna do? Blazing Spear + Steam works wonders with that I hear.

Yeah they suck because you countered them 1v1. That's really objective.

I countered a monk 1 v 1 by not dying to it too! Does that mean they suck?

Assassin RULES.
-Very, very high DPS.

Paragons ROCK.
-Good IAS
-High DPS
-Party Support
-Damage reduction
-Energy Management
-Can Heal with Chants
-80 Armour
-One word: FTW.

Imo, the worst classes are rits.

Quote from Yanman: The sin is the worst class in the game for those who think it is. You cannot change their minds.
-True :P

*Shrugs*

Assassins might well be one of the most awkward-to-learn classes in the game.... and one of the classes played least well by the average Guild Wars player..... but that by no means justifies calling them the worst class.
If I had to dish out the "worst class" title to any class.... it would be the Warriors.... as they're effectively redundant in my eyes now.

As for Paragons.... I'd contemplate accusing them of being worst, but then I haven't really tried playing as one to know..... and besides, their Dance animations more than make up for anything bad I could say about them (As my girlfriend and I both agree: Nothing in this world is as amusingly homosexual as Mighty Storage Stan, my storage-Paragon). I just haven't found any situation in which I would actually NEED one, and I'd sooner have a Ritualist to be honest.

Any class, is only as good/bad as the person who's playing it.
