I am starting a paragon, because i've never used one before, and i came to wondering if they could farm. Then I remembered that they have bow range(i think?). I also thought that P/Rt with splinter weapon, and some buffs/spear skills could possibly farm? Or be a supporter in FoW like a splinter barrager is?

Im still thinking, im not the best with build ideas, so give me some input

uMMM Paragon is good for defence like Imbagon (check wiki)... for solo farming a splinter paragon is not good because you don't have survivability. Elite Spear attacks are good for para also but for a team work and I believe sppears have distance like a shortbow meaning you'll still get the aggro when you attack

Paragons are pretty bad farmers. You are far better off supporting a full team. I think the only worthwhile build is for farming the spider cave in FoW.

There was a P/D (or something) build for UW. It's in the farming build sticky.

It will depend on what you are looking to farm. Each farm is typically unique. The best place to look for some premade builds is:

Just look around in the farming section. That should get you going.

Just my opinion but if you want to farm then I would look into another profession like monk, ele, or assassin to name a few. Paragons will never compare to these when it comes to farming, IMO.

Well, right now im not really looking for one that can solo. Im looking into making my own that can support an FoW or UW group, but at the same time, deal good AoE damage, like splinter barragers. I suppose it can't hurt to try since I am making a paragon anyways, but i wanted to see some input first

Paragon spear range is the same as a shortbow, so splinter/spear attacks would be more than useful in a party. Even if you don't want to go down the route of an imbagon, there are a few options for you to do alot of damage and provide great party support.

[swift javelin][vicious attack][Cruel Spear]["I am the strongest!"][Anthem of envy][aggressive refrain]["There's nothing to fear!"][signet of return]

or you could change out TNTF for SY, or put in shouts like [hexbreaker aria], ["never surrender!"] or ["Fall back!"] if you need the extra assistance. Instead of running cruel spear, you could add utility by bringing stunning strike to deal with monks. It's all personal preference really, a bar similar to this would be very effective (especially with a rit hero throwing splinter on you

)

Basic Imbagon can help a group of physicals farm FoW and an Angelic Bonder can help a Cryway group farm Urgoz's.

Paragons are one of the worst professions for farming. Much of their skills are meant to augment the team and therefore, not really supposed to do anything solo.

Check around on guru or PvX wiki. They may have something useful.

I remember running something like this in the past:
[dead sword farm;OQOkUmm25imU6mM5JWcZKGLmKm8A]
It was a decent farm and could solo multiple places.
Basically, the idea is to spam "Dodge This!" for constant HP gain and aoe burn.
