Para or Sin - Guild Wars Forums

It seems that a sin does a high amount of damage while a para is good support. My sin is lvl 20. Should I keep working on him or lvl my para (7)?

I'd go with the assassin because with the state gw is in right now missions are mostly played solo unless its zaishen mission. Assassins can easily be played in a team of heroes whilst paragons are very good in teams with other players. Also late game nowdays is pretty much speed clears such as doa, fow, where assassins are very good while paragons arent rly.

can try both, see what fits you best, i have all profs and use em all, i just do other stuff atm, other than building chars

sins have dmg and energy gain from criticals, have attack skills which do something good, mostly, and its melee
paragons have support, energy gain from shouts and chants (go for the eyes is nice to gain energy with), and the spear attack wild throw cannot be blocked and removes stance.... and spears are from distance

whichever is better for you, should be used, unless you can use both well

warriors dont do much for me, while dervs do alot dmg and are easier to use for me
mesmers are only good for hexes if i play (bad at interrupting, unless casting time is 2 or more), but eles, who cant harm the enemy actions as much (like backfire and empathy), do direct damage, and i'm better at that

work on your sin and keep the para as hobby project when u bored of sin. get your sin the pve skills and all outpost. ...with para its always a hard time to find a group.

I have booth para and sin. booth c gloves + obsidian etc. But for pve playing sin is more usefull for PvP booth arent the best choice. Sin is usefull but para more style, so i agree Para = Hobby and Sin = Work cause u can solo dungeon, speedclear, fow, uw, deep, urgot, Maintank,................. Para can imbagon, and ???, no not more he can imbagon

Paragon can do a lot more, but not many ppl know that.
Paragon can even do Daggerspam with higher armor :P

Well, if you like playing SC's you should play Sin & go on with you P as a fun project. For me its more like Sin for fun (chestruns mostly) & P for normal gameplay... bc, well, as I said, there are a lot more options besides Imbagon

Should inform yourself about both classes tho, so that you not only play Sin for SC's & P as an Imbagon.
