so im trying to find some decent places to farm on my imbagon.

1. i have beaten all 3 campaigns with eotn so i hav everything unlocked in hm

2. i have moded discord heros both paras and 2 eles and 2 monks.

k so the question.

1.whats the best thing to farm ( decently rare greens, elite tomes, ecto, shards)

2. what heros and setup should i bring

3. is it worth it to use personal cons (candy corn, candy apples, rock candies and what not) i have over 2 stacks worth of personal cons and not sure what to use them on.

Paragons kinda rely on others for energy and work better in teams. There are a few farming builds on pvx like the stygian farm and UW. Paragons aren't really a solo farming class. Farm on another char.

wasent really looking for solo builds just areas that can be h/h with or without cons and NM or HM

any ideas of what ur trying to farm using a team? like, H/H eat all drops... are u looking for like a repeatable quest or something to farm? i mean, idk... paragon isn't really a farming class in general... it's a great class to do titles on however since it pretty much turns HM dmg into NM dmg... start vanquishing? imbagon with 3 discord necs and henchmen can handle most zones with ease.

forthe most part i ment like farming fow or uw for shards,ecto or urgoz for zodiac or dungeons or places like that

farming and full h&h teams are mutually exclusive, unless it's rep points you are talking about, which you aren't

you have to try to remember that heros and henchmen receive drops from monsters and bosses as well. So farming areas with them for the actual drops isn't such a great idea. But if your wanting to just go out and have fun killing things, you've already answered your own question as to shards and ecto and pretty much any bosses you come across as your with a team and you don't have to worry about something completely countering you as a solo'er would.

It is must more profitable in a given time frame to solo farm than it is to clear an area with Heroes and Hench.

I'll give you an example of an "Any"/X farming build from PvX wiki.

Dwarven Stability,Gladiator's Defense,Brawling Headbutt,"On Your Knees!"

Then fill in the blanks with Finale of Restoration, "Go for the Eyes!", "Dodge This!" and Mental Block.

With that, you can farm anything that is melee-only, has no anti-block or stance counters, and is in Normal Mode to prevent scattering.

theres a para build that farms stygian gems on pvxwiki page, since ambraces r supposedly up.

When i get bored, I do frostmaw on my para for fun.

In NM you can do all five levels in under 1 hour for a chance at a silvering recurve. Once you do a few runs and know the spawn points, HM isn't too bad either.

yea i already duo h/h frostmaw in hm and can get it in around 45 mins

any1 know of any other dungeons that can be done with just h/h?

Mind elaborating on this? I can't find crap on youtube

there's also a youtube vid of a paragon solo'ing the FOW spider cave...can't recall if it was NM or HM, but probably NM

EDIT: it is NM and below is the link to part 1 (looks like a weak/slow build)

As others have said, if you are interested in solo'ing - Paragon is not the way to go....they are a support role by design. The Stygian farm is lame, and may be broken now that NPC's no longer have collision (dunno if that was just for UW, or if game-wide - but it was a weak farm to start with)
