So, as the latest update, incoming was buffed. At 14 command, it's up for 5 seconds, and down for 15. With 2 paragon heroes, half the time, you take half damage theoretically. Added with other shouts and buffs, I can see an unstoppable team coming into play, mainly focused around ToF! and Incoming! with some Blazing Finale thrown in with Watch Yourself!

So, since I don't have time to come up with anything right now, I dedicate this thread to the Incoming! buff, and it's affect on paragon heroes. Post builds, discuss, I'm just wondering (and looking) for some builds based around this.

Ok, so far I have this:

OQGkURlqJjej7OIrgl3W4LMXhHD for Hayda
OQCjUqmMKOu7gsCWefi7xWYeMA for Morgahn

They chain it flawlessly.

Really? I just test it, and they do not chain it correctly, just like Defensive Anthem. They use it on recharge, regardless of Incoming! is already in effect or not.

You can see Skree Singers in Vabbi use "Incoming!" simultaneously.
AI is screwed up with all shouts/chants.

It looks kinda decent for classes that can't use "SY" properly. I wouldn't use "Incoming" on my para when he can already keep "sy" up most of the time.

If you're playing a caster it looks a little more attractive. I'm still not too sure about it though. If it went back to it's 7sec form then I'd be on that fast

At 10 spec, it actually lasts 4secs. You could probably put it on a hero that doesn't really need it's elite. If the duration was a little higher, I think it'd do fine even on somethin like an MM.

2 Paragon Heroes + You: What can't you do?

You can't do the quest which requires both Koss and Melonii.

I changed up Rac's para builds to look something like this:

[build prof=p name="incoming para" spear=11+1 command=8+1+1 leadership=11+1][blazing spear][holy spear][incoming][hexbreaker aria][anthem of weariness][anthem of envy][aggressive refrain][signet of return][/build]

[build prof=p name="stunning support" spear=11+1+2 motivation=8+1 leadership=11+1][stunning strike][spear of redemption][vicious attack][chorus of restoration][aria of zeal][purifying finale][aggressive refrain][signet of return][/build]

I tinkered in some 4 man areas a bit with these (and my N/Rt restoring orders) and they did pretty good.

Took the incoming para along in THK in HM and did fantastic. Incoming provides a great cover until you get the adrenaline going and start spamming SY!.

However the AI is a little weird with it. For example, if you're pulling and not taking damage, they'll fire it off as soon as the enemy is within ear shot. This often times leads to Incoming wearing just as you're about to cross spears with the bad guy. However you should have SY! up by then, so it's not a big deal, more of an annoyance.
