Conclusion

I, myself love this profession but it's a total disgrace, how bad the Paragon is balanced in the current PvE game. So there is not much to say here, I suppose that almost every change / rebalance that is suggested here is pretty much self explanatory. A lot of skills had way too high recharge timn, too short duration time for PvE. So I fixed those issues.
