Brace Yourself is the only anti-kd outside of AoS I think.

Can't Touch This will stll be bad.

Incoming will still be quite bad imo.

Never Surrender doesn't need a nerf.

Make Burning Shield 5 seconds duration at 0 and you have yourself something a bit competant compared to Shield Bash. Both are still quite bad.

The Power is Yours will be overpowered imo. Battery to the entire party? That 1 pip can be quiiiiiiiiite strong.

Yes to Aria of Restoration.

No to Aria of Zeal.

Ballad of Restoration is fine.

Inspirational Speech will be stupid.

Song of Power too.

Song of Restoration is fine.

Zealous Anthem = free ranger skills. At least a 15 second recharge.

Guess your right :P
The thing is that it is only useful in predicted battles, so I just thought it could have a more general effect.

The problem from my point of view are chants.They have a very long recharge time and are conditional.But they are party-wide, so it'd be hard to balance them.

And unremovable.

Paragons are a broken class and extremely hard to balance in the first place.
One look at Spear damage, AR, Leadership, ect. will tell you why.
