The real question is, how likely do you think they will do anything for the Paragon? I know people like to throw around that statement that there will be no more big updates regarding skill changes. Think that rules out any updates for the Paragon?

We can all hope, wait, pray and see what they come with. The inequities in the current skill "balance" are clear to most people. Surely A-net will try to rectify this - for not just Para but the other classes that are lacking too - before the beta for gw2 comes out.

I understand you are not relying on conditions for dmg, but for paragon hero builds or many pvp builds that is how alot of dos can be given. Apply poison along with anthem of flame plus any spear atk can give great dps to one target and also spread the poison for the foes you will kill next. Serpents Quickness is a great way to get those offensive shouts and chants to recharge at a more reasonable time, while not affecting your ims/ias because those ate most likely echos. If you see this as hard energy then try throwing TPiY or Scavengers Focus on there, may be a waste of an elite but dps is the issue not how you achieve it. Hope this helps.

Although, I'm not sure what my DPS is, I've used a P/R build that works quite well. Strike as One combined with blazing spear, SoL, and other powerful spear skills dominates with the amount of degen and slow movement.

Anet stated (I belive...) that there would be no more massive profession overhauls, not that there would be no more skill updates.

I would be very happy to see a mesmer-updateish update for paragons. That update took 3 months to do, so an update of that caliber seems reasonable to me. I don't want to see a 9 month profession overhaul, nor will anet do one. All we need is a nice big skill update like what mesmers got.
