"In nightfall the paragons (glorified spear chuckers) are seen as crap compared to that the almighty dervish and their superior tanking abilities. "
When I read that, I had to write something. The Paragon by far is my favorite character in the whole series. And If they have paragons in GW2, you can bet I will start with a paragon.
The paragon is just as good as a monk. Actually you can substitute a paragon for a monk in the elite mission runs and have the mission go perfectly. Paragons were never ment to be melee, just because they have 80 armor everyone assumes they are melee. The derv is by far not supreme, in fact I have beaten 1v1 Dervs with my P/R using every condition (deep wound,fire,poison,bleeding) and interrupting Sig of PL. Almost like a good ranger except with 80 armor.
The shouts/chants are an amazing skill set that guild wars put in. espically if your in AB/GvG or anything with 8+, Paragons are extremely useful, you can go P/W with tactics and Defense Anthem. Most good GvG will have paragons, not dervs. And on the plus side "Go for the Eyes" and other chants affect minions.
