just messing around in AB/pve... if you like melee and hate spears...

[card]galrath slash[/card] [card]sun and moon slash[/card] [card]dragon slash[/card] [card]"go for the eyes!"[/card] [card]"find their weakness!"[/card] [card]natural temper[/card] [card]aggressive refrain[/card] [card]leader's comfort[/card]

12 sword
10+1+1 leadership
8 +1 command

hp armour and adren mods

try it and tell me what you think...(I realize that warrior dragon slash is much better..but if your looking for an alternative para build....)

problems: no snare or increased speed...(but you dont really need this when pve/cappin shrines)

its not really the best....i'll be the first to admit...

but I found myself getting bored going through cantha...so I stared using this...its pretty fun... you can spam the attacks pretty rapidly...due to

1. increased attack speed
2. adrenaline gain from DS and natural tempure
3. and deep wound comes from f.t.w.

It a c-spacing build....

Looks decent... My only bugbear is a lack of speed-boost or snare to cope with kiters...

With Leadership energy gain from GFTE! you should be able to run Hamstring without problems, right? (I can't check atm... just remade my para 'cuz me first was ugly)

The use of swords on Paragons isn't bad, but I wouldn't run this build for reasons already mentioned(1.No Speed boost 2.No Snare).

I see an attempt at creating an adrenaline based swordsman, but a mesmer with soothing images and imagined burden would pump your breaks with ease. Your current build has holes that are rather large, and that being the case, makes it inferior to a well built warrior. However,in PvE, this build is fine because you really don't need a speed boost, but you could be more effective with a snare.

Also, the use of "FtW!" is fine, but not gauranteed to give a deep wound. Gash and Sever Artery are classics and still can be used in combination with either Sun and Moon Slash or the Galrath Slash. Dragon Slash, imo, is a touch like adrenal overkill. AR and "GFtE!" will fuel the adrenal engine just fine. This would be a build I might think would be more useful, but if you have fun with your build, just ignore what I put here.

Even though "FB!" recharges at 25s,it is far better than no speed boost at all. However, I'm not trying to say not to use the OP's build, just trying to build on what is already in use. Alternatives are always possible.

in ab/pve...."ftw" pretty much guarentees a deep wound

but yeah if it was real pvp.... I would take a war..
