Who thought we'd be paragon?
Paragon always felt closer to warrior than guardian.
I would rather see a monk elite spec.
Splbraker does not look very “Paragon” to me they’re more like a Warrior using daggers to do Mesmer type things. No class fits that running around without pants while shouting at strangers feeling of the paragon.
I just want dual pistols.
I post from a phone so please excuse any references to ducks or any other auto corrections.

Except they never were in lore.
Guardians are a direct product of paragons escaping Elona, coming to Tyria and taught monks their ways. Generations later the guardian was born.

Would be my wet dream. I was so hoping that the Firebrand was gonna be monk-like since the original tomes used monk spells. ANet shattering my hopes as usual~ <3

Guardians originated as a fusion between monks, paragons, and ritualists. I don’t ever recall anything about paragons teaching monks anything, not that that makes sense in the first place because monks already existed in Elona alongside paragons.
I think Guardian already fits the Paragon pretty well as-is. Shouts could use a bit of a buff (maybe… shouts apply barrier? >_>) to make it ideal, but it works pretty well. The new outfit does wonders for the concept, too. :P

“With the turmoil in Elona and the spread of the Order of Whispers into other lands, more Paragon teaching showed elsewhere in Tyria. These teachings melded with other traditions, and over time, the guardians and their abilities can be found throughout the world and among all the races. They are not tied to a particular race, philosophy, or group of gods but rather to a larger concept of proactive defense, of taking the fight to a foe and protecting those you fight alongside while appealing equally to humanity’s defensive nature and the charr’s desire to rule the battlefield.”
“It’s a pile of Elonian protection magic, mixed with a little monk training, wrapped up in some crazy ritualist hoo-ha from Cantha. A real grab bag of “you can’t hurt me”. They’re called guardians, and simply put, they mean trouble."
Wasn’t so hard, was it.
Yes, I’ve already read that, and it doesn’t mention anything about teaching monks specifically.

So the usual unnecessary nitpicking that “it didn’t specifically said so.”
Well, I can say this much. Warriors got nothing mentioning Elona or Paragons.
So guardians are still the one class with paragon background.
I picked guardian because it was the class that seemed closest to Paragon(my gw1) main fused with some monk and ritualist flavours.
I wish we had some offensive shouts like Pargons did, and if the spirit weapons weren’t so… meh. Havent seen the firebrand other than the reveal, but maybe the tomes give it a more monk flavour?

Pretty much anything that 360degree 600range aoe spams out party buffs is paragon.
Warrior
Guardian
Revenant
Thief
Ranger
Ele
Necromancer
Mesmer
Could all be considered the successor of the gw1 paragon if built to full fill that role.
