Curse

Just a little build I came up with while in doa:
[Kain Fy's Skills;OQWjYKnM6S2gLBxAWcwb2bybzkA]

It seems to be able to cryway effectively and exploits the energy gain of both TPIY and leadership.
I've always found it weird how people said Paras can't cry, yet leadership is inf energy. Furthermore, it gives your team a (small) boost.

Feedback?

Woot, im sure some people will be happy. Although it won't work in DoA cryway, as you run a specific teambuild which all manages their own energy, and doesmore damage then this.

It can manage its own energy. Though leadership and TPIY.

Why not use Lyssas Aura?

The only shout that you have has a 20 second recharge. Assuming you have 14 leadership, that is 7 energy every 20 seconds. Meanwhile, your energy is degenerating at -10 for 10 seconds of those 20.
Oh, and I suppose we can't forget that extra 1 energy from I am the Strongest. >.>

Pretty sure this makes no sense.

Edited to add that this is what I get for not reading update notes. >.> I still think the build would be horrible, but *shrug*

Except that "TPiY!" has been updated to not have a recharge time.

Love it when people who don't play para, post on para threads... :P

Nice idea Nightowl, very cool!!! I'm about to hit DoA with my para, and I'll be sure to show my guilds DoA dude this build to see what he thinks...

I tried a few Cryer concepts in Urgoz HM, I needed the statue for my paragon so I had to come up with something useful. A lot of groups go in with a perma-shadow-form assassin, ranger, bip, monks, and the rest Cryers. Here's a few ideas to toy with.

BTW i like the OP's use of The Power Is Yours and Signet of Aggression, I'll have to give that a try.

[build prof=P/Me name="Cry of Pain" motivation=12+1+1 leadership=8 inspiration=10][ebon battle standard of wisdom][ether nightmare][echo][cry of pain][aria of zeal][song of power][ether signet][signet of return][/build]

Best I have found so far. Song of Power BiPs your entire group and at 14 motivation you regain all your energy when you use it. When you're low on energy use Ether Signet to give you enough juice for Song of Power. Aria of Zeal gives all your casters energy and Ebon Battle Standard of Wisdom gives everyone a 60% chance of HSR which is obviously quite helpful.

[build prof=P/Me name="Cry of Pain" motivation=12+1+1 leadership=8 inspiration=10][ebon battle standard of wisdom][ether nightmare][arcane echo][cry of pain][aria of zeal][song of power][lyssa's aura][signet of return][/build]

has energy problems, arcane echo is too much to deal with. I like the AoE hexing of Ether Nightmare, especially at max kurzick rank, but its long cast time can cause problems if you are using it to refresh Lyssa's Aura. I'd suggest Mind Wrack or another quick recharging hex instead.

the new TPiY! is definitely intended to be a battery skill. so good call picking up on that. most people just saw the effect and went "lol, nah."

I think it's safe to say Paras don't run Cryway because they run Imba?

Mesmers are better with Cryway anyway, since they can go /A for Assassin's Promise.
