Hello all,as title says I'd like some input for P/R pet build if possible. I know that spear dmg para is better,or that imbagon owns,and that's all fine but I want to run this for fun only. Now,I made something myself,based on build I saw under Paragon Basics thread.
It goes like: [skill]Rampage As One[/skill][skill]Poisonous Bite[/skill][skill]Blazing Spear[/skill][skill]Merciless Spear[/skill][skill]"Go for the Eyes!"[/skill][skill]Anthem Of Envy[/skill][skill]Comfort Animal[/skill][skill]Charm Animal[/skill]
So,it seems to be working decently,even tho RaO costs bit too much

,but that's why I'm switching to staff when casting and using GftE and AoE to get energy back up.

Att points are: 12 beast mastery
9 Command
9 Spear Mastery
11 Leadership
(that's with runes)

And as long as this seems fine it just doesn't feel good when playing it :/
So,any ideas on improving it?

p.s. note again pls,fun of playing pve is what it's all about

.
Ty.

I'd replace poisonous bite with Predators Pounce. Personally I'm a big fan of Feral Aggression and Predator's Pounce. But FA is costly too.

Rampage As One is costly as you say, maybe switch to a zealous spear ? Or look for another elite ? Soldiers Fury would give (only) you the same ias for less energy, feral aggression would do it for the pet and add some damage too.

Remember to only use your spear atatcks during the recharge of GFTE so you don't take adrenalin away from GFTE. You need that for energy. (It doesn't charge adrenalin for 4 sec during the reharge anyway, so you can use other adrenalin skills at that moment.)

Personally I've never used such a build, though, on a Primary Paragon, Rampage as One must be very expensive to maintain? Also, might I suggest you lower Leadership to 10, or even 8, as there is no point in having an odd number with that build, and increase Spear Mastery.

there's this templae for R/P, called Spear Chucker. pretty similar to what you're trying to do here...
Expertise>Leadership for this sort of build, even with GftE...
if you want to remain paragorn than boost Leadership to 12(with +1 helm and rune, dunno which u used probably minor, so use major instead) and RaO isnt the right elite for you. Ferocious Strike, Heal as One, etc are more suited...

Would use Aggresive Refrain as IAS, saving your (expensive) elite slot.
Ferocious Strike and HaO are decent elites to consider then.
