I'm making a paragon finally (after neglecting to for soo long) And i've got a couple of elite Para tomes laying around. Was wondering what would be a good elite for a command paragon to use.

Hmm, DA is nice yes, but the energy cost seems a bit high, for the low duration, and long recharge. :S

And 15 energy is really not much of an issue for a Paragon. "GftE!" solves your problems.

[skill]Cruel Spear[/skill]

[skill]Stunning Strike[/skill]

[skill]Focused Anger[/skill]


No Paragon should be without these.

Consider:

[skill]"For Great Justice!"[/skill][skill]Focused Anger[/skill]

[skill]Barbed Spear[/skill][skill]Stunning Strike[/skill]



12/12 Leadership Spear Mastery is FTW.

12/12 Leadership Spear Mastery is FTW. Where's SoR? It's used quite much nowadays too.

In terms of a Motivation Type Healing build. What's a viable elite skill option other than SoR?

Not just sticking to Motivation. Could be a leadership one also. (already running Defensive anthem((at certain times)) )

I would still say Song of Purification, although Song of Restoration and Defensive Anthem are probably better for general PvE.

The other recommended option is take Focused Anger as an adrenaline engine and pump out "Save Yourself", throwing some "There's Nothing to Fear"'s into the mix aswell. Considering the large amounts of damage reduction you can create with just a single character, you could probably just leave healing to the monks.

Defensive Anthem if you lack a source of weakness or expecting many physicals.

Song of Purification if you're lacking in party heals in a condition heavy area, or you're expecting enemies that have a means of applying dazed or blind repeatedly.

If you want to play with Song of Restoration, don't go overboard on the heals. It, and Ballad of Restoration is all the healing you should worry about doing. If you don't mind maintaining Mending Refrain, I would drop Ballad for it as it will restore a lot more health in comparison. 120 health at +3 regen it heals during the 20 seconds it takes for Ballad of Restoration to recharge.

12/12 Leadership Spear Mastery is FTW. fail one dimensional damage bar. Focused anger is the only useful elite of the lot (outside of stunning strike in gvg, cruel is bad because you dont often find a deep wound from CS).

FA however is a nice enabler for either save yourselves in pve, or decent pressure from spear of lightning / holy spear. In pve you can even put conjure on that for pretty #'s

CS's DW pretty much always lands and it's extra sweet because of the way CS's DW works!
And Daze in PvE - always sweet!

Anthem Of Flame does the job very nicely + one can use it to keep up AR outside of fights.

daze isnt sweet in pve - stunning strike fails at such an unworthy cost (by the time you amass 10adren - it won't be very useful
