Optionals
- Add Spear of Lightning for good attack skill for general use.
- Add Swift Javelin if running in team with orders/aegis chains etc.
- Add "Go For The Eyes!" for greater energy management. (The additional damage is insignificant against high-level foes.)
Equipment
Armor
- Centurion's/Survivor's/Radiant Insignia on all pieces.
- Centurion's/Survivor's/Radiant Insignia +1+3 Leadership Headpiece.
- Rune of Superior Vigor.
- Rune of Clarity.
- Rune of Attunement.
Weapons
- Vampiric 15^50 Spear of Fortitude/r9 -20% Blind Command Shield of Fortitude.
- Zealeus 15^50 Spear of Fortitude/r9 -20% Blind Command Shield of Fortitude.
- Any non-Vampiric Spear of Fortitude/r9 -20% Blind Command Shield of Fortitude.
- +15/-1energy Staff in case you are low on energy.
- If you can afford a Req.7, 15AL command shield, drop command to 6+1, and put an extra point into spear mastery.
Usage
- Use Focused Anger on recharge.
- Use "For Great Justice!" during Focused Angers downtime to maintain double adrenaline gain.
- Keep "Save Yourselves!" and "There's Nothing to Fear!" up as much as possible.
- Use Spear of Lightning and Vicious Attack for damage.
- Place Ebon Battle Standard of Honor strategically to increasy your and allies damage.
Counters
- Anti-shout skills such as Vocal Minority
- Anti-adrenaline hexes such as Soothing Images
- Blind/Missing, Blocking, and Hexes that trigger on attacks
Variants
- Add Wild Throw instead of one of the attack skills to get through blocking stances.
- Add Hexbreaker Aria to combat hexes in caster parties. Maintaining "Save Yourselves!" should be prioritized over Hex Removal, but you can still manage both.
- Add "Fall Back!" to decrease time spent during the run between mobs with an expense of losing some DPS. Not recomended when running with balanced team.
- Invest in Tactic instead of Command and add "To the Limit!" to get "Save Yourselves!" charged instantaneous should your party encounter foes in greater numbers than 3, it is also useful if your attacking is disabled (blind, blurred vision etc).
Notes
- Playing this with an Arcane Orders Dervish hero is optimal. In this situation, Spear of Lightning should not be taken.
- A Sunspear Rank of at least 8 is preferable. If using Spear of Fury, your Kurzick/Luxon rank should be at least 3.
