Curse

My main playing style is solo H/H. I like an even mix between DPS and party support & I've been trying to implement some of the new GWEN skills. My usual suspects are:

Motivation Hayda
Barrage/Interrupt Margrid
Protection Ogden

Barbed Spear (easily spammed condition req'd for DT)
Disrupting Throw
Finish Him
Go For the Eyes
Ebon Battle Standard of Honor
Focused Anger
There's Nothing to Fear
Sig of Return

Norn: 6
Vanguard: 5
Spear: 12 (10+1+1)
Command: 12 (10+2)
Leadership: 12 (11+1)

Focused anger seems like a waste of elite since I believe disrupting throw is energy based and the only adrenalines are barbed spear/ go for the eyes. And go for the eyes has a recharge rate now.

If you don't use too many physicals maybe change it out for defensive anthem?

Any reason you're not running save yourselves?

because heros can't use PvE skills

RETRACTION: sorry, missed that. i saw Hayda and stopped reading. my bad.

P.P.S. I concur, Save Yourselves is a no-brainer unless you don't have Factions.

Re-read his build. See the 3 pve skills? He's showing us his build, not his heroes.

^ agreed with arkantos

either run save yourselves (which is better imo) or dont run focused anger. focused anger isnt a good elite, unless u have save yourselves.

and if ur speccing command, id take along defensive anthem.

I've been putting off buying Factions due to the bad reviews it's gotten for PvE players. However, my copy is in the mail as we speak (type?)

Having said that, I'm unsure I'll be willing to grind enough faction to make SY worth a slot on the bar.

Even at 3 seconds, SY! is stupidly powerful. +100 is ~85% damage reduction. It's insane and will charge fast with FA.

r1 SY (which is still very powerful) is donating 50k kurzick or luxon faction to your guild. I personally only have SY at 3 seconds and it's still godly, on both my paragon and my warrior.

Until then, I'd run either defensive anthem or cruel spear. Focused anger is pretty much useless since you only have 2 adrenaline skills which require low adrenaline.

Thanks for the advice, guys.

Now, can someone pls tell me how to post the skill icons w/mouse over? TIA!

Personally, there are 3 skills I would switch on your bar:

Barbed spear for Spear of Lightning or Holy spear
Finish him for save yourself
Disrupting for Agressive refrain
