You can swap out Vital Weapon with Weapon of Aggression or Nightmare Weapon.

^
Lack of Maiming Spear and Weapon of Aggression > Vital Weapon. Swap Spear of Lightning for Maiming Spear.

Actually, Vital Weapon works well with this build. It lasts longer to help keep up the added bonus from Spirit's Strength and it's only 2 sec recharge so you can spam it on your other 3 party members before going into battle.

The idea of Spirit's Strength is to deal damage. If you're casting you're spending 1.75 seconds not attacking. Weapon of Aggression takes more casts overall but it also increases your damage output dramatically.

No interupt?

To be honest, the interrupt that a Paragon has is kind of lacking. It takes 1/2 seconds to activate and the flight time of a spear is roughly .60 seconds.

Wailing is lulz in AB on stupid Warriors, but not that great elsewere.

I've been liking this very much recently, both for AB and general PvE. Clearly, in PvE you don't always face blind too much so Sight Beyond Sight can be removed. I sometimes like to swap Splinter Weapon out in AB for [[Nightmare Weapon], but Splinter can be good to cast on other allies.

With a Zealous Spear, Weapon of Aggression is easy to keep up...for that matter, it's probably quite easy with a non-Zealous Spear but I've never really tried. I use a Channeling Headwrap with a +1 Channeling Rune for an 11-second Weapon of Aggression and a Splinter Weapon which lasts for 4 attacks.

Not sure about Wielder's Strike though...just doesn't seem to do much. I might replace with another Attack skill or spell when I've had a little play around. I primarily stuck it in there as something to use when people block or use Shadow Form, but, it doesn't seem that great. Any ideas?

I'd put in [spear of redemption] in place of holy spear and definitely take [spear of lightning] instead of wielders. It's surprising just how hard that skill can hit.

Weapon of Aggression does recharge fast enough to keep it up, however... A Rit has very low armor and you have to get pretty close to combat to attack with a spear. Vital Weapon adds on an additional 100+hp to your health and can be spammed on your casters as well. But it can be argued that while using a spear, Weapon of Aggression would probably be the best choice. I use Vital Weapon when using Daggers.

You know, spears aren't that close to your enemy unless you're attmepting to use it as a prod stick.

Base Armour = 60

Ghost Forge Insignia = +15

Base Armour from a Shield = +8

Additional Armour vs a Specific Damage Type = +10

Knowing how to make the most of your Armour...

...priceless.

So...that's 83 unstrippable Armour versus everything, and 93 unstrippable Armour versus one specific damage type, or alternatively, a Damage Received -2 (While Enchanted) mod could be used on the shield.
