Curse

First of all, this could very well go in Sardelac Sanitarium, but I'm not entirely sure, considering it was just my thoughts on Nightfall... Whatev.

Anyhoo, I was not entirely impressed with the Derv and the Para... I mean... I wasn't very impressed with their attribute abilities, that is. Seriously... I understand that allot of people like the Derv and the Para, and I'm not disputing the fact that they are a very nice new addition to the Guild Wars Saga. I just feel that a little more creativity could have been implemented when creating these new characters.

I know it's kinda retarded, but I included what I was expecting to see during this preview event. If you don't like it, that's chill. If you do like it, that's also chill. I'd like to hear what others have to say about their expectations, and how this event has affected those expectations.

Paragon

Palm Mastery: Palm Mastery increases the damage you do with gauntlets and your chance to inflict a critical hit when using gauntlets. Many Paragon skills, especially palm attacks skills, become more effective with higher Palm Mastery.
Guardian Summons: No inherent effect. Many Paragon skills, especially those dealing with summons, become more effective with higher Guardian Summons.
Protective Light: No inherent effect. Many Paragon skills, especially those dealing with defense and protection, become more effective with higher Protective Light.
