I don't know how much I agree with that. From they way I look at it they're both different and both have different strenghts and cover one anothers weakness.

I'd still need more time to actually play it but I sort of look at it as:

Ritualist: Magical supporter (casting classes)
Paragon: Non-magical supporter (ranger/warrior)

... just different but neither better. That said I enjoy Ritualist and think I'll enjoy Paragon just as much.

paragons seem to be excellent at support, and can take down dervishes with their offensive skills easily. i really dislike the dervish since its just too much like a new Assassin. They have poor defenses with low armor, though they do have AoE on almost all their skills with the highest damage weapon in the game, they just lack something that the paragon has, i cant put my finger on it. Now, to the rit and par thing. I think they would work great together, unless the par has low energy, i cant remember from pve event. Just make a primary rit that spams spirits while you also use chants and shouts to energize your team. Consider that the spirits would be something like Pain, Bloodsong, Shadowsong, and maybe Wanderlust or Ritual Lord. Then have anthem of flame for extra weapon damage, with two support shouts/chants and the par's res skill or res sig. would work nicely when ur team is stationary, as well as when ur moving. You could also go just support, where u use spirits such as Union or Restoration combined with pain and ritual Lord. There are many possibilities, but i have a feeling teh par will be a great profession, either as a secondary support or as a primary.

Paragon = mobile support

Ritualist = stationary support

Also, it is extremely easy to shutdown a rit, and as far as i can tell now, that doesn't go for the paragon.
