(I hope this is in the right section)

Well i love trying to think of new builds, good combinations and so on.

And it occurred to me that there is no 55hp paragon(what else is that casters spear for?), now i really want to try and make one.

Is this a good idea and if so could u help me out with some of the skills?

errr, the only reason I could see NOT to do this, is the lack of energy regain points. that means maintaining your enchants could be difficult with no divine favor for blessed signet. It's possible since I 55ed with my warrior a long time ago for fun, but it wouldn't be worth it imo. Try it if you want though, thats just my thoughts.

Try the paragon page, But good luck on a 55 para you can run Prot and healing breeze but the enrgy needed is taxing

Umm... you know... Casters?
I'll try and spear people between casting on occaision in PvP, you can get lucky and remove a RoF for only 3 damage.

Anyho, on-topic - a 55 Para hasn't been made (well... seen around much, ever) because... well... Paragons have low energy regeneration, making upkeeping enchantments a pain; alongside a lack of damage options (ok, you can spear single targets to death, or kill a whole mob slowly with Blazing Finale)

With Paragon, your better farming option to *attempt* is going to be a buff using Shouts, Chants, and maybe Warrior signets. The low health + PS + high regen builds are really build for casters, and even then, Eles, for example, are better off running a "tough" bar - Stoneflesh or Obsidian Flesh come up.

Honestly, Paragons are not intended to be for solo farming. Their skills buff entire parties, making them ideal for PvE group situations.

A little off-topic, but relevant enough.

I tried this very thing a long while back. I still have my 55 hp armor set for my paragon, though it rarely sees any use now. I just don't feel as required to farm for gold now that I can get it from hero's handbooks and the like.

It was a lot easier to come up with a build using 2 heroes for me, so I never really bothered to change it. It's not Paragon specific, either, so any class can do this. Maybe it will give you some ideas to build on. Here's what I did:

Monk Hero #1 w/ 13 Protection Prayers:

Protective Bond
Life Bond
Balthazar's Spirit
Essence Bond

Monk Hero #2 w/ 13 Protection Prayers:

Protective Bond
Essence Bond

Your skills and the other skills on the monks are pretty much open to whatever you want to try.

The trick here is that if multiple copies of Protective Bond are cast on the same person, the energy loss will be split between the individuals maintaining the enchantment. This means that (at 13 Protection Prayers) the first to cast the enchantment loses 2 energy and the second loses only 1, instead of either of them losing 3 energy. Essence Bond and Balthazar's Spirit counter the energy loss that the two monks suffer. Life Bond is thrown in on hero #1 to make Balthazar's Spirit trigger on that monk (he/she is losing 2 energy each time, remember).

P.S. Make sure you activate Hero #1's Protective Bond first!

55ing is reserved for casters as they have low armor and high energy and regen...
and as a paragorn you cant really solo farm anyway, no point too as it is a party buffer class not soloer...
