    CW get more dps, TR get more utility, DC get more buffs e GWF get more regens, knockdowns, mobility and marks groups. GF get nothing really relevant because Iron vanguard is a better dps paragon path than Swordmaster. So, when will GF get their real tab skill?

    Control Wizard finally gets fire powers… Cool! – love it! Will play it!
    Trickster Rogue throws more daggers – ok.
    Devoted Cleric gets more buffs… - ok.
    Guardian Fighter gets Great Weapon Fighter’s paragon path and vice versa – em… what? You’re serious? No new stuff just reskin of old ones? Did CW new element suck out your creativity?

    According to the video, a new paragon path is available for every "starting class".. So guessing the characters we already have on the game are not getting a free retaining token or something.. aww, i really wanted that iron vanguard path for my GWF :/
    In-game Characters:
    Raba Leo - 16k GWF | Raba Dharma - 15.5k CW | Raba Chanda - 15k TR | Raba Karma - 14k HR
    PURE F2P, so far..

    Grant Allen: Since Paragon Paths determine which skills you can unlock, it requires a character respec to change your Path. We’ll be letting players respec once for free to account for the new Paragon Paths with Shadowmantle.

    This is awesome!!!!

    I'm not going to use a respec token, until they add initial stat re-rolls to it. For obvious reasons. :(

    LOL, As My first account is a GWF i always envied GF and their push moves, and regretted making a GWF account over a GF. The fact that GWF is getting GF's paragon path is awesome, but ya... GF getting GWF's Paragon path.. GF is definitely not gaining anything much beneficial..

    What i really would like to see in the future is a Paladin Class with a option of Shadowbane Inquisitor like paragon path what was in the 3.5 D&D or any other Leader Class from D&D 4, which are currently missing from this game.

    Shadowbane Stalker would be nice Cleric/Rogue like addition too.

    I know that some will hate this my suggestion, but this Paladins are a key element to D&D. More so than they are to some unmentioned copycat universes.

    well some GWF skill on a GF could be like a lot more destructive :P, need to check all options available
    Everything works out in the end . If it hasn't worked out yet, it isn't the end...

    I think what is being done with the Devoted Cleric, Trickster Rogue and Control Wizard is really interesting but, the Paragon paths for Great Weapon Fighter and Guardian Fighter just seem lazy and does nothing to define either class. Maybe I'm the only one who feels this way but, I doubt it.

    Your not the only one. As a player whos main characters have been GF and GWF since beta I have been hoping for something more. Oh whell, I still have an ars load of fun on this game and am now adding dual wield fighter class to my wish list. I understand the idea that GF and GWF are sub types of the Fighter class so if thats the way its going than I see no reason we shouldnt have a sword dancer dual wield fighter to round out the typical fighter types in classic D&D.

    Overhyped much....It sounds horrible for the melee classes especially GWF.
