Well i hated paragon to at the beginning now i even got one with obsidian armor
I did gate of madness without monks only para's and guess what none died so
than i went with a monk and 5/8 died and i used same henchies / heroes only
instead of 2 paragon heroes and myself 2 hero monks fully equiped so this is the
reason why you want to be a paragon

I like the fact you can do damage and still be a party support, as I never wanted to be a monk but did want to be usefull, party support was the thing for me to roll!

"Tell me at least two things about Paragons that would easily want me to make one right now."

Being the most overpowered and broken class in the entire game.


There, I only needed to tell you 1 thing.

Role-play?

"Oh I need a spanking, I've been a bad, bad girl."
->"I'm a paladin with 18 Charisma and 97 hit-points, I can use my Helm of Disintegration and do 1d4 damage, as my half-elf mage wields his +5 Holy Avenger!"
"Paladins can't use the Helm of Disintegration."
->"Oh, ok, then I'm a black guy."


Intarw3bs plzzz
(... coincidentally, I believe the Holy Avenger sword was limited to paladins only, making his second clause wrong as well. At the very least, the Holy Avenger would be requiring a Martial Weapon feat, making it an unusual choice for an arcane spellcaster)

I think that the overpower is balanced by the fact that you cannot solo or farm with your paragon. Other than simple holiday solo farming or using the /rt build to farm destroyer cores you are left farming with a differnent character.

The best thing I think about my paragon is that with heroes I am not dependant on finding a PUG. Most missions can be accomplished (masters/bonus) with the right heroes and builds with a good paragon build. And for the record I have not unlocked SY yet, I do however have max Sunspear and TnTF. With my para shouting and a good hero team like the all Necro Sab build, I have very little problems with anything including Hard mode vanquishing.

3 things why to be a Paragon.

1. Funnest Class ever and one of the balance class I have ever seen, They are up there with Warriors. Skills are so cool, just need 2 sets of armor then you can go all out Commandier or if you want use one set for All out Moviationier healer/protector for the party and they have alot of useful elites. This i might be wrong correct me if im wrong, they gain hp and energy for each Shout and Chant goes away.

2. They can keep a party live with no skills at. Their Skills party orinated.

3. The Man Skirts ya got love those Man Skirts or Skirts on the Girls.

If you like looking at guy-leg, then the Paragon is the profession for you!

Seriously though, they are a good mix of team support, healing, buffs, and offense. You can take the hits, dish them out, all the while aiding your team significantly.

Oh, and you gotta like white, cuz pretty much all their armor is white.
