Default What is a Porogon?

I've been trying to search for a Porogon for a while. I've heard the term before, but can't find much... one of the few times Google failed. But from what I've found, it has Fall Back, Incoming, and TNtF!
So what exactly makes a Porogon what it is?

There is no set build but they all have the same core. Look at those builds and you'll figure it out.

Correct me if I'm wrong but i thinks its using Vocal Was Sogolon on a paragon to extend shouts.

Basicly it's a Paragon with Incoming , Fall back, Vocal Was Sogolon and TNTF.
The rest pretty much depends on what area you are using it for. They're mostly used in Bogroots and The Deep to run through mobs and keeping the party alive.

Vocal Was Sogolon, Incoming! and Fallback! This combo allows you to have team-wide faster movement rate 100% of the time, and health regen 100% of the time for non-attackers (50% of the time for attackers).

It requires the porogon to carry an item, so attack skills are out, as are most adrenal skills. Because of this, many people find a rt/p does the job more effectively than a p/rt.

why would a rt/p do the job better? Primary paragons can use TNTF and have runes to make fall back, incoming, and whatever other shouts you use better.

16 restoration is better than 16 command for this purpose. Try it both ways and you'll probably agree with me.

Wow you're bad. Vocal was Sogolon isnt needed ever since the buff changed the recharges of fallback and incoming to 20 seconds. The Porogon was originally used by the old [agro] in the Deep to help with running past mobs that don't need to be killed. Since then, the Porogon has been applied to most non-sinway dungeon SCs to keep the team alive as you run to the boss. It is ALWAYS a paragon, and can carry a variety of additional utility such as life bond for the perma. I don't know who your "many people" is, but i can guarantee it's not anyone that's getting records.

The name porogon comes from the finish word poro, which means reindeer. The agro guild leader did everything fast, and so the members jokingly called him a poro. Name was applied to the paragons they used in the deep because they made shit run fast, and thus we have porogon.

I learned something today.

Though I knew what a Porogon was, I did not know how they came too be.
