Template:Untested-build

This build utilizes a similar theory to Monk Bonders, but, instead of Life Bond and Life Barrier, the P/any Angelic Bonder utilizes the Leadership skills, "They're on Fire!" for initial damage reduction, and then further covers with Angelic Bond. Allies are then further enhanced by Command skills and Motivation skills. When used correctly, this build is capable of providing as much (or more) damage reduction than a bonder.

This build is primarily intended for PvE, but it has also had success in AB.

Notes

  • Although ToF has been used in a variety of builds, some of which are somewhat similar to this one in terms of skills, the theory behind this build (i.e. a Paragon Bonder) and the elite (i.e. Angelic Bond) distinguish this build from previous submissions. This note is merely meant as a response to any potential Merge or Deletion Tags as well as any potential unfavored votes attributed to similarities.
