Curse

I was fooling around with some paragon stuff... and came up with this build. It's pretty ridiculous, and might not be all that effective - but it's fun.
edit: for AB
Paragon / Warrior
Stats:
12 Swordsmanship
12 + 1 Leadership
3 Tactics

Armor / Weapons:
Sword -- I use 3 different swords... all with various mods (Sundering, Vamp, Elemental... so just pick whatever you want)
Shield -- Health + 30 and Luck of the Draw (req 9 whatever... can't find a Leadership shield)
Head -- Survivor / Restoration (Lead + 1)
Chest -- Centurion / Superior Vigor
Hands -- Survivor / Attunement
Dress? -- Survivor / Purity
Shoes -- Survivor / Vitae

Skills
[skill]Deadly Riposte[/skill][skill]Savage Slash[/skill][skill]Soldier's Strike[/skill][skill]Wild Blow[/skill][skill]"Coward!"[/skill][skill]"For Great Justice!"[/skill][skill]Anthem of Flame[/skill][skill]Aggressive Refrain[/skill]

What it is
Just a fun build that I came up with, not the most effective, but it's different. Keep AR up with Anthem of Flame - use FGJ if you need some extra adren to knock down people with Coward - Use Deadly Riposte if your up against melee attackers - The attack skills are for... attacking (I feel that they are all good utilities: interrupt, + damage, unblockable.)

Comments? If you know how to make it better... or whatever, suggestions would be welcome to.

You're better of going Warrior, I doubt you'll get more usefull advice...

I get main idea tough, constant 25% IAS +some Warrior skills, but you have no speedbuff, energy will be a btch, etc etc...

You really are better of runnign a Evisc Warrior, or if you want t stick with that build, simply go W/E, keep every skill the same, take out anthem of flame for frenzy and aggressive for rush...

As for the leadership shield that you can't find. They do not have any leadership shields.

Yeah I know that - and I thought warrior might be a better option, but I just love Paragons. Maybe I'll try to work some more para stuff into it...

Thanks for the "hints"

i hurd riposte was bad in pvp

Wild Blow in an adre build = fail
2 defensive stances on an offensive build = 2 fails
Unless you make it clear where to use this, no rez sig = 5 fails
Melee w/o snare or speed buff on a melee build = fail
And lastly, if you constantly have -20AL and a terribad option of shield as a frontliner,it's better off running an assasin with sword.

Yikes I didn't think of all that. I at least got rid of one fail, its for AB (so no res sig is really needed?)

I know it's nothing much... just a fun weird build I fool around with. Thanks for the input though.

I ran around saccing myself and then killing people in like 2 hits with Grenths Balance so it doesnt make much of a difference

different doesnt always mean effective....

Remove the 4 attack skills, put in Sever Artery, Gash, Bull's Strike and Rush.

Bull's Strike should be on any melee based build that has /W available in my opinion.

Aggressive Refrain allows you to run a speed stance, so you get an IAS and IMS at the same time.

Deep Wound should be on any melee based build. No questions.

Maybe then, put in 8+1 Command, take "Go For The Eyes!" instead of Anthem of Flame.

That is assuming you have a second Paragon, though. If not, don't run it.
Staying out of the fight for 1 second feels quite ugly.

Although I would rather create a Warrior, I guess this is good for fun...

Looks fun but probably should stick with lower end PvP. Can't say for sure as I am not going to test it, but it doesn't seem as effective as the other builds.
