Paragon

The Paragon will be a profession available in the upcoming chapter, Guild Wars Nightfall. So far the class has been described as "guardian angel of the Elonian people". Little more is known currently.

General
Paragon is a word which is used to describe anything which is a model of excellence, representing an unequalled ideal of its kind.

Images of the Paragon show that they have been given an angelic appearance with white and gold armor. Their armor is reported to often have wings etched into the back. They are confirmed to wield spears, which are ranged weapons, and there is an image on the official Japanese Guild Wars website depicting a Paragon with both a spear and a shield.

The Paragon is a ranged support character, who buffs teammates and helps them combat hexes, while throwing spears at range. The Paragon may use shouts and chants to buff their teammates.
