Is Paragon worth playing?

[Fenix Aurion]

Is it me, or will paragon be another of those classes thrown aside that not to many people play but if used right can be one of the best. (such as ritualist and mesmer) Right now, all my friends that play gw in school are getting excited about the dervish and don't give a crap about Paragon. Will the Paragon be a good class?

*cough* need pants, pants > god forms ;)

Annyway, people are just a bit happier with sycthes and god forms it seems than spears and shouts. New mechanics are cool, like the assassin. People still play a ritualist, heck they are awesome, and so much help. A mesmer is a great class too, both of which get used a lot in pvp, yes pugs sometimes shove mesmers aside like the assassin in pve, but meh. I skill i bet people will love is aria of power, rangers and warriors will love the extra two pips of regeneration, ritualists can benefit too if they time boon of creation. A 6 pip spirit lord would be nice.

Barrage rangers with 5 pips warrior with 4?! What's not for a pug with low understanding of much to love. Paragon will be awesome, it is only recently they made me decide to roll a paragon before a dervish... i hope they get pants. Check over the paragon skills, some seem like meh, but you will find they can do a lot of cool things. Mending refrain with a little effort can give the whole party like +4 health regeneration, combine that with a ritualist with +3 from recoperation and you have +7 health almost during every battle.

A paragon can also help keep people alive, never surrender i do beleive it is called gives like 8 pips of health regen to party members under 50% health for 10 seconds. That cannot be removed either.

Spear's are a great thing too, adrenlin and energy fueled mix together for something great, leadership seems to be pretty good energy managment, espcially since a lot of shouts and chants only cost 5 energy, energizing chorus can reduce the cost of of the next one you use by about 7 i think max, which is just again great. I really don't plan to bother with spear skills, let other people do damage, i'll do the skills which will help them do it.

The males i think might get a bad rep with the short skirts... at least make them longer, any chance your friends are guys? Cause it is kind of a nasty sight to see men in mini skirts in real life, why would you want to see it in the virtual world too? People might shove them aside, but i think they will get some love... or at least the good ones once they relize all the awesome large scale things they can do.

Bottom line, yes i say they will be a great class, and much appreciated party member.

During the factions preview events most of the people that played a new class played an assasin. Now, what happened to the sin in pve? During the nightfall preview event, most people that played a new class, played a dervish. What do you think will happen?

During the factions preview event, ritualists were a minority. when factions was released, Ritualists found a slot in the group as Rit lord(group protector). during the nigfall preview events, peragons were a minority. perhaps they too will find a role? Perhaps as a group buffer?

In my honest opinion of whether a paragon would be worth playing....: heck yes!

Although a whole bunch of people chose to play the dervish over the PvP preview thing, I doubt we'll see nearly as many actually made into PvE characters for Nightfall. The rush of new things to try out in only a few days pretty much only allowed a person (considering work/whichever/something else that takes up time) to try out one of the professions as much as they would have liked. Most likely when people have a decent amount of time to try both out a bit more and think of class combinations then perhaps we'll see a few more heading over to the paragon side.

I actually enjoyed the offensive side of the paragons the most during the event, eventually loading up my skillbar with spear attacks and buffs for those spear attacks, but being able to switch back and forth from offensive to defensive pretty easily should be appealing to a lot of people. Depending on how large the missions are in Nightfall, we may see some more being made for those huge multi-party missions where the shouts could come in handy quite a bit . Since most of their shouts target "allies" then no doubt we'll see some monstrous mob-slaying in the future.

I honestly think that what happened to the assassin will not happen to the dervish. The dervishs are a powerful class much more powerful than sins. The reason why there were so many assassins in pve was cause assassins have a dark figure to them and they seemed pretty awesome teleporting and attacking fast with crits which convinced alot of ppl to try them. Although the dervish are different. I believe they are gonna be extremely popular in nightfall cause they're just so damn good. They're weapons do such high dmg and can atck 2 ppl at once. They're skills are also great. If there will be alot of dervishs, it'll be becuz they're so powerful.

Back to the point...
I'm wondering whether or not I shuld make a paragorn when nightfall comes out. Sure they're pretty good, but compared to dervish, i just dont know...

actually it's 3 at a time.

Still you should try out the paragon and if you like it you should continue, if you don't find it fun don't use it, that's what i usually do

I dunno about the paragon, the class seems pretty uninspired, like a weaker form of the ranger. Put on a few spear attacks, spam them, and spam shouts whenever you can. Doesn't seem very exciting. Then again, I fell in love with the assassin combo system (so much more skill-demanding than warrior hack-and-slash).

Hmm...paragorn ranger comparisn doesnt quite make to much sense as paragorn have higher armor and deal more base dmg but yeah I see what you mean. Button Spamming is never to fun..

they high dmg is a joke i was using a mastery build and the higest dmg i saw was 50 something with attack skill. so no no all that great. The real question is how bad will the dervish be nerf. cause i can promise you that they won't be any thing like how op they would during the event. As the paragorn will stay mostly the same(i think).
