An easy to use build for Wildfire Paragons
We have a guy on LS running around and can solo all the paras with this build. You can drag paras onto him and he still kills them.
I have been trying it, I am not good enough to solo a Balron or Lich Lord but I can solo the others.
So that's the same as what I can do with my other warriors solo. We happened to have all the different paragons on LS last night so I got lots of practice. There were 6 at the second floor entry so everyone was gone and I had the floor to myself.
It is based on White Tiger form. I used my Swords Sampire and converted him to this.
It just needs the basic warrior skills and Ninja for the form. It is not that point heavy.
White Tiger Form Active spell in Ninjitsu Mastery.
Those are all real skill. You just need the Ninja at 120 Real. This is the base template to use this
Template and method. I will have 150 Str, I have extra Dex I can drop. Also this does not use a lot of mana.
I have 50 more points I can use. You can have more points with jewels.
From this basic template setup you can choose the way you want to get your parry chance.
I chose to use a shield and go with the old basic parry chance formula.
I am going to get healing to 100 then put on resist. I'm tired of waiting for paralyze to wear off.
You can use the extra points to add Bushido and use a two handed weapon so you can use Honor for more damage.
You may need more FC and FCR than I have.
Technique:
You just go up to the Paragon and start smacking it. As soon as you start hitting you cast Mirror Image over and over. So you just stand there smacking and pressing mirror image and bandage as needed.
This is a defensive template. Mirror image diverts hits to those and they die. You have your Parry, DCI, and there is built in evade with the form.
You choose the weapon that does the most damage to the target. You can not use specials so you want to be at Max SSI on a high damage weapon. I am using a Longsword because I could find them on VS on Atlantic, I brought it back and put the things I need on it. I do not need Mana Leech.
@popps ; this is an easy to make template. It will kill all the Paragons once you learn how to use it.
I teamed this with my tamer and we killed a para Balron in 2 minutes or less. Tamer just left his Cu Sidhe on it with consume running.
The Player on LS uses a 100% energy Undead slayer diamond mace. So he is killing Para Balrons without a slayer. He uses solders medallion Tali.
This should be able to do any Spawn Boss. You could do a spawn without tiger form so you can use WW then go into tiger form for the Boss. Maybe use wraith form to keep your speed during the spawn.

White Tiger Form Active spell in Ninjitsu Mastery.
the ninja transforms into a white tiger, providing the ninja with a buff to defense chance increase, a chance to evade attacks based on mastery level, and an applied bleed attack on targets based on ninjitsu skill and best weapon skill.
I have Mastery III and 120 Weapon and Ninja skill. So I get +5 to DCI cap and +20 DCI.
While in White Tiger form:
You can use no spells from any other spell category including Chivalry or Bushido.
You can not use any weapon specials.
Dismount knocks you out of the form.
Since I am not using hiding or stealth, The only Ninja spell you can use is Mirror Image.
Mirror Image is the key.
You can use virtues. Like Honor etc.
White Tiger form moves at mount speed.
Mirror image casts on the run and does not stop you swinging.
The only way to heal is with bandages.
Why is this easy? You only have 3 things you can do in this form. Honor target, Make mirror images, Heal. If you do not have Bushido, then there is no need to honor. So, just 2 things to do.

Focus on what you can do, not what you can't.

Why the difference, I do not understand, if the Template needs to only cast Mirrors and heal oneself ?
You should be able to also kill Balron and Lich Lord Paragons as he does, right ?
Perhaps there is something missing in the described Template or in the Tactics being used which he does, that permits him to also kill Balron and Lich Lord Paragons but that, I seem to understand, you cannot, if solo ?
My characters template is anat 100, Busido 120, chiv 105 (15 on ring) parry 90, swords 120 tactics 100. For all paragons I use a combination of confidence, healing and close wounds (protection cast) to survive (also honor if I can get it in before the darn thing blesses itself) [edit] forgot, orange petals[/edit]
weapon for lich lords is 100% fire bladed whip having stamina & mana leech (life leech too, but irrelevant for this battle) + conjurer's trinket.
I have slow reflexes. I get bored pressing buttons in about 20 seconds so I slow down. I'll run away when my HP gets low, when I should just stay. So it's really my fault.
Lich Lords
I only made a 1 handed demon weapon. When I used my 2 handed undead weapon I did not have enough fc and fcr. So I got a different ring and used a shield with fc. So when I got my template modified I needed a better weapon for them. So again my fault.
Last night someone gave me a fire weapon that was just plain. I could kill a para lich fast. So if it had a slayer I could move to the Lich Lord.
Also, how do I put this. We think the other player is a bot. So he does the correct thing at the correct time. So my human frailness and panicking caused me to not do as well.
Good point thanks.

Resisting spells or parry
Weapon skill
My swordsman uses radiant scimitar and shield with parry many slayer
Thrower uses resisting spells many slayers
Archer runs 55lmc high luck and only one bow 210 luck composite
Any of these can solo any of the paragons..
One archer is a bard one is a tamer. I have a necro archer that I don't use much.
If I can not kill something, it is not the template or weapons. It's my reflexes and skill.
I love my whips, with 81% mana leech I rarely run out of mana for casting, unless I'm hit with mana drain. (it also seemed to really amuse the other folk in the dungeon to see the lich getting his ... erm? rear? whipped.)
I just searched a jewel for some FC and FCR that had HCI got it for less than 1M. Happened to have str on it also. Other jewel had SSI. Changed to a shield with SSI and FC DCI and 1 hand weapon. My shield may have helped me. I think the shield from Cora may work. But I just had Garg ones.
Glad you are having fun with it.
I think it is easy to use for those of us with slower reflexes because you just push 2 buttons when the fight begins.
Keep us posted on what else you can kill thanks. T rex is not a melee friendly guy.
What FC and FCR are you using?
What would be the ideal gear setup for this template?
Swords is easiest. My stats above worked for max speed and damage,
Specific weapon setup for Hythloth would be a cold damage weapon. Can wear a Demon Talisman or use a Demon slayer weapon. The Wildfire Wisp opposes Demon it is Fey. So remove Demon slayer when Fighting those.
If nothing changes from TC, I am going to take a Cold Demon weapon and a Cold Fey weapon.
Switch between as needed. At the moment my flame slayer tali would kill the Hell hounds faster.

Suit
You need 150 dex for max speed bandaging. Stamina determined by weapon.
Strength as close to 150 as you can get.
FC 2 FCR 4 More FCR if possible.
You don't need a lot of Mana.
Hythloth seems like it has enough mobs to keep you busy.
