Default Paragon role in AB?

Hello, I am just wondering what Paragons are meant for in AB. AB is different from any other form of PvP because once you die, you usually scatter from your original party.

Warriors and Assassins in AB are pretty straightforward - kill. Most casters have diversability (?) except monks. I always thought it was hard to monk in AB because you have to physically click on an ally if you're going to heal him (You might click on someone else).

Therefore, are Paragons defensive or offensive? I thought offensive...unless Shouts and Chants can affect allies.

you can still 'kill' with a paragon just as effectively as with any other class...

the spear line is the most under-rated attribute of the paragon...but other than that there are still non-'party only' chouts that will be quite effective.... I usually take skills from the command line...(mostly offensive)... but then again, I dont like motivation much...so take my opinion with a grain of salt...

[card]"go for the eyes!"[/card] [card]anthem of envy[/card] [card]"fall back!"[/card] [card]crippling anthem[/card]

to name a few...

I never said Paragons can't kill . I even stated I thought that offense was better than defence.

Command you say? I guess I could make a Spear/Command build that is somewhat balanced.

I usually bring the above things like crippling anthem and fall back, then something from secondary that I think I'll need. For instance I hate earth ele tanks so I bring Gaze of Contempt.
