Guild Wars Paragon Tips + Bonus rant

[FranzLisztian]

You still run paraway?

[kurumais]

i love my para i am sick of ppl bad mouthing paras i stopped playing with other ppl because too many of them are buildsnobs if you arent running a build they know it  stinks

i run my para with my 2 para heroes and cant wait to get thackery to run 4 paras

[Kolp44]

@kurumais Haha, couldn't agree more Kuru!

[MrKempable]

It's funny how your ''original builds'' are all spin offs to PvX builds

[Kolp44]

@MrKempable If you give a blind man a machine gun and tell him to hit a target, he's shooting w/ so many bullets that eventually he'll get close. That's what PvX builds are like... they're SO many crappy ones, sure some may 'look' close to what I post.

[megamixa]

@Kolp44

You did a terrible job at explaining yourself... I got the point just, it was a terrible example, blind man with a machine gun could possibly hit the person sure, but he was refering to you calling something already done "original" blind man with a machine gun sounds like a leadership reference tbh... figure id comment on that.

omg thank you for your little circle diagram, I've been playing GW for sooo long and it REALLY pisses me off when some guy with a very overused build (which he most likely got from a website) tries to tell me that I'm a bad player for using my own inventive builds. Fucking hate players like that

[Kolp44]

@flipsam02 hahaha, I feel your pain.

[KotCR]

Crippling Anthem + Anthem of Weariness + Spirit Spam = mass constant Cripple + Weakness (seems spirit's attacks count as attack skills).

But anyway, once upon a time almost all Paragon shouts/chants affected all allies (not just party members), but most got heavily nerfed due to abuse anyway, so it's unlikely the remaining few that still work on allies too are to be nerfed now, it's literally just a very small handful of them...

[txbloodlordxd]

hey lets do a uw together im always down to do it the old school way lol

[ShadeSWG]

Nice video! You really seem to stretch out the capability of Paragons farther than I thought possible (Which I kinda thought was just Imbagon to begin with) I might have to try working with mine beyond Imbagon now.

On a side note, I agree with you about PvX. I much prefer compiling my own builds and tweaking them myself. For instance I just put together a sustainable, high DPS Assassin build that revolves around crit stacking. I've yet to see anything like that on PvX =p

[Kolp44]

@ShadeSWG Glad to see there are other smart GW players out there. :-)

[JingizuAbbysal]

Love the video,very informative & entertaining,I certainly learned a few things I didn't know yet about my Para,thanks! ^_^

[Kolp44]

@GamexReviewx  haha

[HawkMannequin]

I've got a paragon that I love to play, but have had a difficult time with. I do like trying out different builds from time to time. I think I'll give these a try some time. Thanks for the vid, awesome. And, just a note, I've never heard of PvX (only use the wiki). Thanks for the warning about it.

[Kolp44]

@HawkMannequin  Anytime :-)

[blueeyeshero]

Great vid m8 cant wait for next one ^ ^

[Kolp44]

@blueeyeshero Thanks!

[xs6back]

OMG and again GREAT VIDEO.

Altho Imba's have been traded in for Rits in High end Area's (i guess i belong to the group with to many ecto's and sc bulshit) epic laugh tho. very well told. Para should run incoming/fallback only.. good stuff with weaknes on allies etc. but if u use minions u have a necro. and necro just beats para with condition spreading.

anyway pm me ingame: prey monkie would love to do fow/ w/e u do with paras and rant on vent with u. or leave ur ign and i'll pm u

[Kolp44]

@xs6back Haha, thanks bud! (ign: Impious Reverence)

[Kolp44]

@GamexReviewx Haha, I can relate. The 1v1 win with a Para is soooo satisfying b/c the other player can't believe they just lost. :-)!

[susheedude]

My friend was telling me how a R/P can be better Paragon and more. Please tell me this isn't true. T_T

[Kolp44]

@susheedude Be better in what way?

[susheedude]

@Kolp44 Not exactly sure lol, but he was saying how R/P can just be an overall better Paragon - I'm guessing with shouts, attacking from afar, and just owning in general. I don't think it's true, but I just wanted to get your opinion.

[Kolp44]

@susheedude Paras get a huge energy kickback on shouts and chants, so I doubt a Ranger would be able to keep up with a Para. (TNTF, for instance, would cost the full 15 energy for a Ranger.)

Also, when a Paragon uses a spear to attack, notice how Paras are directly between casters and melee. This means that the Paragon's shouts would affect everyone on the team... while Rangers would only be covering casters w/ their shouts, which would make Rangers ineffective at using shouts.

[susheedude]

@Kolp44 Alrighty, thank you! :D

[GWFarmData]

haha this is brilliant! I love paragons they are so undervalued. You should keep making more paragon videos!

[Kolp44]

Thank you!  :-)

[susheedude]

What a helpful video! One of the best i've seen.

[Kolp44]

Thanks!

[FurryFM]

i love the way u make connections! =P beautiful video!

[Kolp44]

haha, thanks Furry

[ansemthehunter]

I like this build: "FGJ!" Barbed Spear Maiming Spear Holy Spear Cruel Spear Optional Optional "Fall Back!" I use some Chants there 10 Motavation 10 Command and 12 Spear (runed) Me and a friend made this build :P

[Kolp44]

@ansemthehunter lol

[ansemthehunter]

I'd wish you'd get on. I'm working on the "Focused Anger" Paraway build, and that guy you told me to pm said he doesn't do it anymore D:

[magicalmike2]

Some could say exploitable, some would just call it "forward thinking" if you catch my drift ;)

For those reading the comments, as a regular ally to this fine chap, I can tell you that paragon teams can run just perfectly with no direct healing from monks - maybe consider that next time you can't find a healer!

Good job with this vid my friend :D

[Kolp44]

haha, I like your thinking Mike. Thanks!

[ansemthehunter]

Relentless is a great band

[striker122693]

Nice and very educative;) 5 stars

[Kolp44]

Thanks Strike!

[RAIKIRIUSER27]

Man I used to love my Para back in the days =). Mostly played Motigon couse the Monks we used to have in the guild were not very good, later re-build him into a Imba. You could have sead a word or wo about PvP. I mostly use a P/R Degenerator or a P/E. Wors Para I've ever seen in RA ...P/D, using AoB...*9 or 10 secs* befor the match started. XD 5 stars.

[Stonedorc]

yeah PvX builds for para FTl D:, i say u go to this guys channle Kolp44. hes got the best para builds. and if anything say im wrong well then they are just hateing on him and his epic paragon builds

[Kolp44]

lol, thanks Stone

[GuildWarsBuddy]

5 stars! ... but...

I don't fully agree that PVX is useless and evil. It does have some basic info and it is a nice place to link people to a build that explains the armor/weapon reqs and how the build works.

As you know, if you have watched any of my videos, I strongly encourage people to create their own builds and not be bound by the "standard" build ...

So many complaints were made on my CoF video because I didn't use shield of absorption... PvX is evil for creating those douches.

[Kolp44]

lol, I agree pvx is not completely evil, but I really hate the douches.

[Connroy17]

lol, using exploits in game, tisk tisk. Some of the best players have gotten suspended for that in WoW maybe in GW for all i know

[Kolp44]

It's more of a 'game mechanic advantage' than an exploit. ;-)

[Connroy17]

innuendo galore... lol
