Dunno if this has been posted yet but I was wondering if this build might be viable for solo farming with a Paragon:

Command - 3+3
Leadership - 8+1+3
Motivation - 0+3
Spear Mastery - 10+3

Healing Prayers - 9
Protection Prayers - 9

Equipment: -50 cesta and +5 Energy Spear w/ +20% Enchantments(Spirit of the Forgotten is ideal for this build)

"Go for the Eyes"
"They're on Fire"
E>Soldier's Fury
Blazing Finale
Protective Spirit
Mending
Balthazar's Spirit
Healing Breeze

Basically, the concept is to constantly keep mobs on fire.
Havent tried this yet...But I think it should work.

Any comments will be highly appreciated.

Next time you should.
But this looks interesting. I'm bookmarking it to test once I finish farming for Legendary Spearmarshal.

Definately going to check this out, main concern is energy.

where would you use this to farm?

Alex the Great · May 03, 2007, 07:30 PM // 19:30

were do you farm with any 55?
lol

ya, paragons would be hard with energy since they only have 2 regen and there is no essense bond in there... fire would also be a slow way to kill people, definitely not for UW or where there is any monks.

the problem with this build or any other attempt to 55ing with a Paragorn is that you dont have any AoE damage. and picking off single targets is very slow and infact I dont really see where your damage is coming from besides burning...

I dont think 55 paragon will work well, for the same reasons 55 warrior wont work well. Its simply not designed to be a caster...Maybe paragon VwK or paragon physical resistance +armor buffs or something. That is more realistic

BTW, wrong forum. Should have been in farming forum.

[skill]"They're On Fire!"[/skill] doesnt make any sense here. I'd be hard to reduce the original damage past 5 so this skill has no use.

Ishtar Serket · May 13, 2007, 12:42 AM // 00:42

^^ I was wondering the same thing. That skill is useless when the whole point of the build is to take 5 damage max against any attack. For 55ing generally you want to do as much damage to a group as possibly in as short a time as possible. That build just won't do it when you're hitting one target at a time. Not sure how a SoJ based build would work on a Para but as was mentioned, the energy requirements for a 55 build is really too much for a Paragon. Enemies can't attack when they're knocked down and Blessed Sig is a Divine Favor skill so severe energy problems when Balt's Spirit doesn't generate energy.

ArKaiN · May 13, 2007, 02:44 AM // 02:44

Could work, in theory, but you'd have to kill foes one at a time, which blows, and imho goes against the point of making a 55.

Sora267 · May 14, 2007, 09:22 PM // 21:22

Since you have to pick off foes one at a time, this would seem okay for boss farming...but mobs? No.

Milan-V · May 15, 2007, 10:42 AM // 10:42

This will probably work as with burning you do 12dmg/s. So you will do 600dmg in 50 secs...which isn't slow in my opinion. Only problem is, you have to be close to the enemy what isn't that easy with a lot of casters.

I saw another paragon solo thread a ways back...

Your opinion is wrong. Compare it to something like SS at curses 12: 29 damage every time a foe hits, which is roughly once every second and a half, and you can overlap that with another SS AND cast defile enchants or whatever. Or VwK. Or ANY elementalist spells.
600 dmg over 50 seconds is pathetic, and that's the most any condition does....which is why no good farming build is based on condition spreading. Even -10 is too slow.
And if you plan on chucking spears one at a time against bosses....No.
