Hero equipment

  • All paragons should have Centurion's insignia on all pieces. All other characters should have Survivor runes on all pieces.
  • All characters should have a Rune of Superior Vigor. Paragons should seriously consider a Rune of Celerity.
    • Any extra rune slots should be filled with Vitae runes.
  • All paragons should have a shield to reduce blind duration (such as The Interdictor, but with an appropriate attribute requirement).
  • All characters should take Fortitude mods on their weapons, except where noted otherwise.
    • Paragons should have 15^50% inscriptions and furious spearheads on their weapons.
    • Casters should have +5e or HCT 20% inscriptions on their weapons.

Imbagon Player

<pvxbig> [build prof=P/W spear=11+1+1 leader=11+1 command=8+1][Optional][vicious attack][save yourselves!][there's nothing to fear!][ebon battle standard of honor][for great justice!][focused anger][aggressive refrain][/build] </pvxbig>

See Build:P/W Imbagon for more information.

Variants

Commandagon Hero

<pvxbig> [build prof=P/W spear=10+1+1 leader=10+2 command=11+1][Anthem of Weariness][Vicious Attack][Stunning Strike][Bladeturn Refrain]["Fall Back!"][Anthem of Envy]["Go for the Eyes!"][Aggressive Refrain][/build] </pvxbig>

Equipment

  • A Furious spear is crucial here - no substitute is anywhere near as effective.

Utility Paragon (x2)

<pvxbig> [build prof=P/any spear=10+1 leader=11+1 motiva=10+1+1][Chorus of Restoration][Wild Throw][Blazing Spear][Finale of Restoration][Ballad of Restoration][Optional][Aggressive Refrain][Signet of Return][/build] Choose your elite based on the area:

  • Empathic Removal Empathic Removal [[Empathic Removal] for most areas.
  • Defensive Anthem Defensive Anthem [[Defensive Anthem@12] if your midline/backline tends to die to melee.
  • Song of Restoration Song of Restoration [[Song of Restoration@12] if you simply need lots of healing (due to life steal, health degeneration, etc).
  • Song of Purification Song of Purification [[Song of Purification@12] for especially condition-heavy areas.
  • Expel Hexes Expel Hexes [[Expel Hexes] for especially hex-heavy areas.
  • While Rend Enchantments is often superior to Shatter Storm Shatter Storm [[Shatter Storm], the later allows you to bring Power Return and/or Inspired/Revealed Enchantment/Hex.
  • "The Power Is Yours!" "The Power Is Yours!" [["The Power is Yours!"] for areas with significant energy denial. (Remember that your paragons have essentially infinite energy under most circumstances.)

While normally a defensive character, some areas may render defensive elites on these characters unnecessary. In those cases, consider:

  • "Coward!" "Coward!" [["Coward!"] to deal with kiting foes (who might otherwise dodge spear attacks, among other things).
  • Cruel Spear Cruel Spear [[Cruel Spear] for normal mode or similarly simple areas.

For alternative methods of enchantment removal, consider Rend Enchantments Rend Enchantments [[Rend Enchantments@1] and Rip Enchantment Rip Enchantment [[Rip Enchantment@1].

For alternative attack skills (since two Wild Throw Wild Throw Wild Throws and two Blazing Spear Blazing Spear Blazing Spears are rarely ideal), consider:

  • Vicious Attack Vicious Attack [[Vicious Attack@11] for deep wound.
  • Swift Javelin Swift Javelin [[Swift Javelin@11] for an attack that should never miss.
  • Merciless Spear Merciless Spear [[Merciless Spear@11] if you want a "guaranteed" deep wound.
  • "Go for the Eyes!" "Go for the Eyes!" [["Go for the Eyes!"@1] if you're not worried about damage output but want more Finale of Restoration triggers.
    • You can also micro this with Vicious Attack if necessary.
  • Spear of Redemption Spear of Redemption [[Spear of Redemption@11] for a self blind removal. (You may have to micro this.)
  • Holy Spear Holy Spear [[Holy Spear@11] if you're expecting to have trouble with minions. Remember that you have an excellent source of daze from the commandagon.

  • Shadowsong Shadowsong [[Shadowsong]
  • Disenchantment Disenchantment [[Disenchantment]
  • Dissonance Dissonance [[Dissonance]
  • Ancestor's Rage Ancestor's Rage [[Ancestor's Rage] if you have a human melee to get in the middle of mobs. (Micro this.)
