Angelic Bond

[The War Keeper]

Vocal Minority doesn't affect Angelic Bond.

Life Bond doesn't affect spells, Life Barrier would be more comparable, but you could just remove his energy by distracting Blessed Signet, or traditional energy denial, and you can remove the enchantments

U wont need life bond or life barrier versus a paragon

all u will need is vocal minority few degen spells and life stealing for necro

empathy, backfire, shater enchantment powerspike or any spell interupting skill

for monks wont be hard to heal the team

and also with angelic bond on the paragon team, the damage is divided by two so damage is same if u kill one with only damage the other is dead also

and yes only thing that u could possibly to do angelic bound is make it a spell.. since its an elite skill

If the team playing them did split, they could either split too, which would make them weaker, or they could just move their whole team to their base and sit their to VoD, and win at VoD

lol not only paragons can run u know? :P

I'm not sure if 2 is overpowered, never faught it, but a normal balanced team will have at least 1 decent interrupt I guess ? Change few skills for another and you made a good counter, and it is indeed effective against other builds, because interrupts can be used against every profession, and every profession can suffer from it.

Well i just had this awsome idea to fix everyone problem including us paragons

1- Set paragon healing and any decreased effectivity skills to normal

2- in a team of 8 or 4 set max allowed paragons to 1 or 2

what u think of it? i think its the only good decision we can do about paragons to not ruin it

[mattpwill]

1 Angelic Bond is relatively straightforward compared to 2 Angelic Bonds to play against, because you can spike him down, or interrupt it sometimes

Paragons are a class that can be overpowered with several of them, but after their nerf pretty useless alone in a balanced build. I can imagine how hard it is to balance them, and don't envy Izzy's job with them

[The War Keeper]

ofc... well u know in pve its pretty rare to get paragons mostly 1 in team of 8
in pvp they exploit the game using huge teams of paragons instead reducing them to junk affecting alot pve since we mostly get 1 in team it should be easyer the idea of allowing a max of 1 or 2 paragons per team

lol "psychic distraction just to counter this build"

guess what: PD can counter tons of things, so it's not like bringing PD is a waste in most matchups

[mattpwill]

PD is relatively inefficient vs most builds. I didn't say it was useless, like you're inferring

Dual Angelic Bond is not overpowered. It simply is a very good counter to a spike metagame. However, Angelic Bond does nothing to counter pressure, because it doesn't lessen the damage taken - it only redistributes it.
