Is there still a point in leveling paragon? - Guild Wars Forums

Alazardragoon · Jul 12, 2008, 05:34 PM // 17:34

I see hardly any one levels paragon anymore. I have played most of Nightfall with my dervish now and I did all the missions with groups, Never ran into a paragon..I am wondering why..and if paragon has become a worthless class? Is it still worth leveling? Because I actually want to play a support class once i am done with my Dervish a Buff/DD is actually just what I was looking for in paragon. But If its become useless and no 1 will party with it now due to this new skill ever 1 wants to nerf, then Idk, Im a bit confused, I see so little paragons around now so I am really wondering whats up?

It is in the human nature to be self-destructive.
basicaly, ppl don't know what para's r capable of...

paragon > pve
most people in the game are idiots, that is why people hate pugs so much on this forum. go ahead and make a paragon, even if you don't use the omg stupidly over powered skills you will breeze through pve.

Warriorsrmint · Jul 12, 2008, 05:48 PM // 17:48

They are good if you know how to use them, people just go ugh they can't deal damage (when their DPS is actually higher than a wars without skills) and thus noone wants them.

Ban · Jul 12, 2008, 05:49 PM // 17:49

If you like playing a support class, I don't see anything wrong with a paragon. Play what you like. Don't look at what other like. Just my 2 cents.

Alazardragoon · Jul 12, 2008, 05:52 PM // 17:52

Yeah I guess i will try it out, I personally see nothing wrong with it at all, or any class, Each is just different from the next but they are all good in their own way im sure. Its just a matter of figuring out how to play it properly. I just hope people do team up with me though lol. It would be lame to PvE the entire story alone

-Lotus- · Jul 12, 2008, 06:03 PM // 18:03

why would you want to join a party anyways?
all the idiots who try to play para fail before they leave istan.
all the people who dont suck dont waste time joining pugs.

Pleikki · Jul 12, 2008, 06:07 PM // 18:07

Yeah make para para is good theres point lvl it

duckboy · Jul 12, 2008, 06:12 PM // 18:12

paragons + pve skills = god mode for team

paragons can make dmg in HM seem laughable when they can reduce dmg down to nothing for the whole party. This includes people under ursans

so i would say, yes there is still a place for paragons in this ursanage future :-)

xxmadmassxx · Jul 12, 2008, 06:24 PM // 18:24

paragons with its imbagon build just gives so much support to the team, reducing the dmg to mere nothing is wat a paragon can do best

Woop Shotty · Jul 12, 2008, 06:37 PM // 18:37

imbagon is a force to be reckoned with, that's for sure.

make a para. you will find that people won't let you leave their parties.

Crom The Pale · Jul 12, 2008, 07:07 PM // 19:07

Paragons, like all other classes, are only as good as the human playing them.

With the correct builds they are lots of fun and extremely usefull in any party for any mission/quest/dungeon.

They work well in PvE and PvP.

In the end it all comes down to one simple questiong....

Are you having fun playing that profession?

If you answer yes, keep playing if not time for a change.

**cosyfiep** · Jul 12, 2008, 07:28 PM // 19:28

play what you want to play---dont worry about what everyone else is doing. I still see lots of paragons playing all three chapters. Maybe you just are playing at the off-paragon time

Don Doggy · Jul 12, 2008, 08:05 PM // 20:05

Paragon is the ultimate support class and can breeze through HM PvE. Most PUGs don't know how valuable a paragon is to any party. Play a paragon if you think u'll have fun and enjoy it.

Chris37320 · Jul 12, 2008, 08:08 PM // 20:08

I like paragons they pump out a lot of consistent damage and spears are really cool in my opinion. I would definitely make a pve paragon.

Bowstring Badass · Jul 12, 2008, 08:15 PM // 20:15

Go for it paragons are broken in PvE.

Lady Raenef · Jul 12, 2008, 08:18 PM // 20:18

Paragons can be brutal in PvE. Go for it.

Highlander Of Alba · Jul 12, 2008, 10:43 PM // 22:43

Paragons are great in pve..so much so just made another as like both male and female chars lol

This ones just a few k of rank 2 survivor and no i dont box lol.....

breezed through all the way so far...

But as others have said, play what you want and enjoy the game

zelgadissan · Jul 12, 2008, 10:58 PM // 22:58

Even without running Imbagon there's no reason not to take a human Paragon. A ranged warrior (80AL) with an unstrippable IAS - not to mention ability to keep up indefinitely - is more than imbalanced enough without getting into the damage reduction skills.

That makes me sad, though. I'd much rather H/H than join crappy PUGs.

I love my para. It's a great storage character.
