Jump to navigationJump to search

Here is a short list of Paragon skills that I feel are extremely underused, outclassed by other skills, or have no use in general. Updating these skills to make them useful will refresh the meta, and help better define class roles. These changes have been made with PvP in mind. All gradients are from 0..15.
