Since you have two paras, you can chain TNTF, you might say that's overkill but it has to save more monk energy than lyric of zeal- likely the build was thought up back when one para could maintain TNTF. I suppose there's plenty more minor stuff that could be argued but w/e. Basic point is get out your physicals because orders rocks.
Actually, if you have an essence of celerity your TNTF recharges in 15 seconds, with an uptime of 10 seconds. It's not really needed to give the 2nd para another TNTF, as you only risk shouting it before the other version has ended, thus missing a nice party heal.

If you run without consumables, yes than it is a good option to give the Cruel TNTF.

About the blind thing, at first I thought it could be a real killer. But after running DoA a couple of times, it's wasn't as bad as I thought. Just kill rage titans first (than they most likely don't get off an eruption), and blind from the dementia titans only lasts like 2 seconds with a rune of clarity and a -20% blind shield (it can easily be prevented anyway if you just don't stand next to them ).
Hexes are the bigger problem thats why having another hex removal on the necro is generally better than FF.

6+1 Command/leadership (get a req7 15 AL shield, otherwise don’t meet req’s)


TYPO on the SY! Paragon, that should actually be Command/Motivation.

Exactly the kind of build I've been looking for. Is it viable with heroes, or are a lot of the PvE skills very important? The key one is obviously the SY! Paragon. I suppose it will be slower but hopefully still possible.

Always wanted to do DoA non-ursan.

If anyone is running something similar, give me a shout if you need a monk, Paragon or Ele.

There's pros and cons to this. First LB gaze doesn't do the full 100 damage-but it does interupt and has a nice AoE effect.

But YMLAD is armor ignoring and has a KD to boot-at rank 7 LB I'm doing 108 damage to a Margo, which is more than then I get from LB gaze on a single target. It is a higher energy, but has a faster recharge-and for the para roles, you can pretty much just spam it.

Posted this on wiki seeing as you want to see this widely used(I would too). Made sure all credit went to your guild. Re-worde some things to make them more concise.

Nice, yes we can only hope this becomes popular, I would love to see Our last run 1.53 was very nice, and we can do it faster, maybe get down to 1.30? :P I'm linking in on front page btw.

Not just this build but any well working build, problem is though, it probably wont because now that ursans gone, no one pugs, and the other problem is, this build requires a minor amount of thought, minor amounts of thought require a brain, rarely do I meet a pug with a brain.

For the warrier, if you us a sword instead of an Axe I think the following may be close:

[build prof=W/Rt Str=13 Swo=14]["You Move Like a Dwarf!"][Standing Slash][Dragon Slash][Body Blow][Whirlwind Attack]["For Great Justice!"][Drunken Master][Death Pact Signet][/build]

Or something like this as well
[build prof=W/Rt Str=13 Swo=14]["You Move Like a Dwarf!"][Silverwing Slash][Dragon Slash][Body Blow][Whirlwind Attack]["For Great Justice!"][Flail][Death Pact Signet][/build]

For a sword warrior, I'd say something like this:

[you move like a dwarf][dragon slash][brawling headbutt][steelfang slash][flail][lightbringer signet][for great justice][death pact signet]

Take advantage of [[lightbringer signet] no longer being elite and pump up your adrenaline and just spam DSlash at will. Additionally, you could drop Brawling in favor of whirlwind.

Can you clarify something for me? Do the paragon's(Besides the SY) use Drunken Master or Aggressive? ~~~~

EDIT: Feel free to edit the wiki page and change any of the skills if I screwed up on something.
And I noticed I used ~~~~ Lol. I forgot I'm not on wiki >_<

The cruel spear paragon uses drunken master, as he only has 1 other pve skills that are 'needed'. The SY paragon has 3 more important PvE skills, so he brings agressive refrain. The pics are wrong and still need to be updated, but I'm lazy :P

If you're under the effects of a conset, either or will work. IAS caps out at 33%. If there is a nice PvE skill you want to take, use Aggressive.

If you're not using a conset, then use Aggressive for sure.

I think this would work fine. I was thinking LB signet too, but have had little trouble building adrenaline with DSlash and Flail, but ti could be good. I might even consider SY on this build where you could likely keep SY up nearly all the time between W and P.

Has anyone used this team to beat Mallyx. I think this team build may have a problem with Mallyx, since it relies on some Hex and Enchants. Likely the 19 groups ahead ot mallyx may not be a issue.
