Command
Anthem of Disruption – [8/10]
Chant. For 1...8...10 seconds, the next attack Skill used by each ally within earshot also interrupts an action.
- this is a great chant but it has quite a high activation time, 2 seconds is quite long, although I agree it would be way too over powered with a shorter activation. Still a great skill. Can be timed to keep the foe interupted if everyone attacks in a chain to keep the interuptions occuring often.
Anthem of Weariness – [9/10]
Chant. For 10 seconds, the next attack Skill used by each ally within earshot also causes Weakness for 1...13...16 seconds.
- this chant has a great cost, decent activation time of 1 second and a great effect. I defently will add this one to my skill bar. This will make hardmode missions even easier in my oppinion since weakness helps a lot.
Leadership
Burning Shield – [9/10]
Skill. For 3...8...9 seconds, while wielding a shield, the next attack Skill used against you is blocked. If it was a melee attack, your attacker is set on fire for 1...5...6 seconds.
- I find this to be the best one so far for pvp, timing this skill correctly will help a lot against those quick assasins whos first skill really effects there combo, and it even put up a great effect asside from block the attack.
Hasty Refrain – [4/10]
Echo. For 3...9...11 seconds, target ally moves 25% faster. This Echo is reapplied every time a Chant or Shout ends on that ally.
- cheap cost, decent activation time of 1 second but it seems to have way too short of a lasting time. I don’t think it even helps that it refrains since this will not allow someone to have a lot of time to stop between running and cast another shout. Quite pointless since there are already plenty speed boosts for the para that are way better.
Spear Swipe – [6/10]
Spear Attack. If this attack hits, you deal +5...17...20 damage and target foe is Dazed for 4...9...10 seconds. This attack has melee range.
- decent damage bonus, nice dazed condition, only issue I see about this one is that its melee attack and that it costs 10 energy. If the cost was less I would consider taking it, but till then I will still only use blazing, merciles and mighty spear attacks and maybe harrier's toss once in a while since this skill rocks.
Motivation
Inspirational Speech – [2/10]
Skill. You lose all adrenaline and target other ally gains 1...3...4 strikes of adrenaline.
- this skill fits in the motivational track perfectly, yet I can’t see any decent use for it, since it can’t be spamed because of the 20 second recharge.
Spear Mastery
Chest Thumper – [???/10]
Attack. If this attack hits a foe with Cracked Armor, that foe suffers a Deep Wound for 5...17...20 seconds.
- I really have no oppinion on this skill yet since im not sure how cracked armor functions.
Holy Spear – [ 6/10]
Attack. If this attack hits, you deal +5...17...20 damage. If it hits a summoned creature, all nearby foes take 15...75...90 holy damage, and are set on fire for 3 seconds.
- even though this skill has potentially the most damage a paragon can deal it still quite conditional because you must hit a summond creature to get the effect, therefore I would only take it if it help in the area otherwise I find it ok but nothing really special.
Maiming Spear – [7/10]
Spear Attack. If your attack hits a Bleeding foe, that foe is Crippled for 5...17...20 seconds.
- this looks like great skill used together with barbed spear, it also has a cheap cost and quick recharge.
Spear of Redemption – [8/10]
Spear Attack. If it hits, you deal +5...17...20 damage, otherwise you lose 1 condition.
- this a quite a good skill yet I would prefer it cost 5 energy instead of adren. Then it would be more essecibal when your blind which this is suppose to protect against. For 3 adren it still has good damage so I will probably try to fit it into my pvp build.
In general from the first look I was quite disappointed with the skills, but after thinking about them I realized they were well design to help fill in the gaps that the paragon has at the moment. Im quite happy about that.
Now I want some paragon pants, a sick looking helmet and some nice spear skin finally. Anyone have ideas on spears?
Id like a chaos spear, and a nice magma spear.
