Imbagon

From Guild Wars Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

An Imbagon is a Paragon who spams "Save Yourselves!", providing a near-constant +100 armor to other party members. They are most frequently used in the Domain of Anguish, although they are generally useful for PvE. The term is a portmanteau of "Imbalanced" and "Paragon", referring to the common belief that the profession is inherently weak. (It is also sometimes used as a derogatory phrase about the profession.)

[edit] Characteristics
