Paragon Shouts

Just an idea, maybe MORE Paragon shouts should be ally-effected, rather than party-effected. After all. The Monk and Ritualist alike may target an ally at will and keep it alive directly, the Paragon can not. I realize the Paragon was never intended to be a healing class per se. But then again, WHAT EXACTLY was it made for?

The Motivational chants are weak and broken, with long recharge. You must wait a good while to spam another chant for nowhere near as much health-gain as a Ritualist can give you.

You will find that I juxtapose the Paragon to Ritualist quite a bit. I think it's fair I do so. As the Ritualist can deal direct damage and provide party/ally support. So can the Paragon. Therefore, I find both the professions a made support class in their parenting Expansions.

The Paragon bars are always, ALWAYS, a matter of: Well, if the pay-off was good enough...

Just like the very over-powered buff to the Mesmer in both PVE and PVP, over the past months. Supposedly the Mesmer didn't have enough party-support skills, and was a skill-selfish profession. Well, it's been an issue with the Paragon. Although you will hear people say Paragons damage like a Warrior, they don't. And in my Paragon experience, you need a few Paragons on a team to spike or do a good amount of damage all at once. They don't push kills like a Warrior does. They don't pressure like an Assassin does. They may have the same Armour Rating as a Warrior, but they nowhere near do damage like one.

The big nerfs to "Stand Your Ground!" and "Incoming!" broke the Paragon, leaving him with weak Motivation shouts, that can be interrupted just like a spell, and also has poor recharge and health gain.

I would like to think it's difficult to give Expansion professions the same shine they give the Core Professions, but, with the Ritualist the way it is, I can't say that. With the way the Dervish is, I can't say that.

There's always that one under-dog profession that doesn't get enough credit, or enough attention, or enough support, in any MMORPG that you play. I just wish it wasn't the Paragon.:::::Ardangoeswiki 12:25, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
