So... I just ended up clearing EoTN on my Paragon and am looking to really set him up to take on Hard Mode and light PvP. I am hearing that I should go Full Survivors.

Is it smart to take this kind of set? I mean won't that really hurt with a 2 pip energy gain and such a small mana pool. Should I be mixing energy / health runes to get more of a balanced kinda guy?

Basically, as a Paragon. I wanna know what runes/insignias you choose to march through GW. And what are you 4 weapon sets. I need to start collecting different greens to deal with different situations. Any insight on this stuff would be great too.

Thanks Again!

Leadership makes this a non-issue.

You should have either Survivor or Centurion's Insignia.

Full Survivor is a good choice.

For weapon set I use
1. vamp
2. sundering/elemental (sundering for when I go with an order guy, elemental for when I don't)
I have all different shield in inventory with +10armor vs certain damage just incase, and a reduce blind by 20%.
3. Long bow for pulling when need to
4. A staff for emergency (like to put up AR after rez, etc.)

+1. At a minimum full survivors or centurion's. Attunes and radiants are bad in HM.
Vamp weapon, another to swap to between mobs.

Full Survivor ftw, I run this on most of my heroes and all my characters as well(cept ranger because she has become a mule), my sin is the only exception as to the need to be able to run high energy chains. Go for the Eyes with about 10 leadership is all the e manage you'll ever need. Radiant runes, imo, aren't worth it, good e management>mindless spam everyday.

Any +energy runes on a paragon is stupid because you should almost never have energy issues

since any paragon bar thats worth running has aggresive refrain on it. Why would you want to run anything other than centurions. Armor > HP.

Not always the case. Even though both Survivor and Centurion are a fine choice for a paragon, I prefer Survivor. An extra 10 armor is nice but +health is useful in all situations. +Armor isn't useful against armor ignoring damage or health degeneration pressure. With the buffs your paragon will be using, there should be enough damage reduction to make +health more useful.
