First Optional
- [[Zealous Sweep@12]: More energy

- [[Victorious Sweep@12]: For more spammable damage
- [["There's Nothing to Fear!"@10]: If you have bad healers or want to go for elite area on HM

</pvxbig>

Equipment

Centurion or Survivor Insignia on all pieces.
Rune of Superior Vigor.
Zealous Scythe of Enchanting

Usage

Maintain Aura of Holy Might.
Use Asuran Scan on a foe, followed by scythe attacks.
Spam "Go For the Eyes!" and "The Power is Yours!" when they have recharged.

Counters

Anti-shout skills such as Vocal Minority
Anti-adrenaline hexes such as Soothing Images
Standard antimelee

Variants

Other elites, such as Wounding Strike, if you find energy manageable with gfte.
"I am Unstoppable!" in kd-heavy areas.

Notes

Playing this with a smiter in your party with Strength of Honor is optimal.
Party-wide adrenaline boosters, such as Dark Fury, will allow you to drop TPiY for a different elite, or GftE if you want to keep TPiY to support your party.
Having at least 5 allies is optimal for energy management, and the allies need not be party members (pets and mission NPCs are affected by TPIY and GFTE).
