Enchantment Master, Fundamental Release when it&#8217;s fixed, Burning Instinct, and Frigid Fate will likely be the paragon board choices with Exploit, Elementalist, Flamefeeder, Tactician, and Eliminator for gylphs (likely not in that order).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Got a slightly late start here because I was replaying Skyrim of all things, but since I don&#8217;t plan to buy the new expansion until it goes on sale (probably at the start of next season based on past history) it doesn&#8217;t seem like I&#8217;m missing much.
