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).
