yeah i realise that i'm using my last pve slot, and that it was NM, but i spose a vanquish screenie wouldn't impress you any more would it? Tyria/Cantha/Elona in HM is 90% of the time as easy as EotN NM. Just thought i'd try it and post my build for inspiration's sake.

Imbagon has always been crazy powerful and you maximized it efficiency for vanquishing purposes.

Biggest problems are that the only char that can run perma SY is paragon or d-slash warrior. Vanquishing is all about titles. Do people want to make paragons they titles char? Racway also needs to 2 accounts with multiple campaigns, and 2 pve leveled up luxon/kurvick + SS.

Sabway with r10 ursan will easily vanquish any nightfalls,faction, prophescies explorable area with any char from profession.

Alternate prof "SY spammers" have been discussed all over the thread, and I included a short list of some of the ones I'd recomend on page 13.
Still not sure about your second comment, why does Racway need two accounts?

The trouble is. I'm on a nec and even with +24 AL from GDA and +12 from a shield, I'm a pretty squishy front liner. I can keep SY! up permanently, but once I die, my party no longer has +100 AL and they die, then we wipe. Might try putting [Angelic Bond] on my para hero and micro it on me.

I thought Angelic Bond wouldn't be a good option, but I tried it in Old Ascalon (using a variant of my N/Rt Orders/Healer) and it did a great job. One thing you can try is to put your Hayda upfront, and pull to her-that way she can share in the beating and take some heat off of you.

@bono-Racway doesn't require two accounts-I'm not sure where you got that idea.

The builds are naturally designed for the paragon so if they don't work on other professions with the same results there is a simple explaination as to why. It is possible to adapt the main player build with some of the other professions but ultimately paragons are the target audience.

For those that are curious, this is the build I was talking about earlier. It's basically the N/Rt Restorer set up to buff physicals.

I just throw on Radiants and use Vanahk's Staff-if you need a bit more energy, you could use a major SR rune, but mines been doing great with just a 9 SR.

I actually like this better then the D/N orders (although Mark of Fury isn't as good as Dark Fury )

It's not overly original, but it gets the job done. I think you'd be better off with Weapon of Fury, you could just micro it to yourself vs everyone else or just let it fly around with so many physicals. At that point you can take Dark Fury along with it.

Actually I got a better one in the works-not ready to share it, but it's been doing good so far-done some Ascalon vanqs and HM stuff in EotN.

Give me another day or two and I'll unleash it

I just let my Angelic Bonder go on autopilot-unless I go do a pull in which case I'll micro it on myself.

My bad only needs 1 account. I have spending to much time in FoW/UW/DoA with my 6 heros lately.

Saw all the paragon builds on first page and thought 4paragons heros and orders Dervish attacking out of ebon battle standard looked like pretty sweet dps.

People were wondering what you were getting at. With 6 heros though, I think a combo of Rac and Sab would be PvE ownage times a million.

Since I'm not a big fan of the D/N orders (Never had any luck with it) I've been toying with the N/Rt healer to modify it to fit in with the paragons and still add extra damage.

This is my current attempt:

[build prof=n/rt box name="Restoring Orders" blood=9+1+2 soulreaping=9+1 restoration=12][weapon of remedy][ghostmirror light][spirit light][mend body and soul][life][signet of lost souls][dark fury][order of pain][/build]

Done a couple areas in Ascalon in HM, couple dungeons, both NM and HM and does pretty good for itself.

Been toying around with the elite though-tried [spirit light weapon] which my hero never used. Tried [preservation] tonight-that did okay, but felt a little random in it's healing. You can also knock SR down 1 and add it to Blood for extra damage and should still be good on energy.

So far it feels a lot more stable than the OotV Restorer I posted earlier.

I tried something like that in another thread, and got shot down, mostly because the orders and DF need to be spammed readily. I've yet to try any of them in actual play though.


As for Sabs+Racs, bring a monk friend with Sabs, and take Racs, and you're good

I have found that Barbs and Mark of Pain work well with paragons though. (not on them though)

So far it feels a lot more stable than the OotV Restorer I posted earlier. I'd take masochism over SoLS since you will be sac'ing from your two enchants.

Problem with builds like this is:
1. Lower AL then derv with windwalkers (up to 90AL base)
2. I find they try to heal after every sac which reduces the spam of OoP and DF.

With the derv they basically set Zeal and go to work and occasionally cast DTouch. This character with Windwalkers and max enchants becomes the highest AL person on the team.

EDIt: Might be better to go Channeling and make the character full offense. Putting out things like Splinter, AR, and Nightmare weapon to really help a full physical team.

That's generally only an issue for the first few seconds of the fight until SY goes up. I have my hero with Survivors since the AI generally targets whoever has the lowest health, giving me enough time to build an SY before the D/N's health level dips low enough to attract the AI. At which point it doesn't matter who is being attacked because everyone is reaping the +100.

Quote: 2. I find they try to heal after every sac which reduces the spam of OoP and DF. This is key when making the core of the hero work. The OoP and DF spam is what you're looking to achieve. Order of Pain means things are dying faster, Dark Fury means SY is up longer and your other physicals get to rock faces. The D/N build concept is genius; the spam fuels the healing.

EDIT : Forgot Profane was in Death magic, though you don't need a high investment for it to be useful.

Mascochism is an interesting choice-I'll try that tonight.

Quote:

1. Lower AL then derv with windwalkers (up to 90AL base) You can make this argument about any healer Basically I counter this by keeping her flagged behind the paras, but still in range for the shouts. And once SY! goes up, the difference between 190 armor and a 160 armor isn't much.

Quote:

2. I find they try to heal after every sac which reduces the spam of OoP and DF. Actually my necro hero does pretty good keeping everything up. One of the reasons I'm experimenting with Preservation is that it's the same amount of healing as some of the Restoration skills, and the necro doesn't have to cast them-just drop the spirit and go.

Quote:

This is what we normally do if we have the healing already covered. Or I set her with OotV with some curses support (things like Bards and Weaken Armor-anything that complements the physicals).

Minor Blood on the hat and pop a conset naturally. Nice. I was thinking of something like this:

[build prof=N/Mo box name="Orders Support" blo=12+1+3 sou=9+1 pro=9][Signet of Removal][Order of Pain][Dark Fury][Masochism][Protective Spirit][Aegis][Vengeance][Signet of Lost Souls][/build]

...or alteratively, replace vengeance with a heal like Blood Renewal.

Prot like PS/Aegis is mostly pointless with SY, most of the time you'd be better off investing the attributes elsewhere.

The Paragon already has huge inherant armour.

TNTF is also used to keep Aggressive Refrain up, but yet, it still mitigates damage and heals your party at the end.

Anyway, I find it somewhat useful for the crucial moments.

The Cracked Armour can be removed if need be, and Paragons have huge armour anyway so it's not much of a difference.

Not exactly untouchable when focused fired upon, but decent armor nonetheless. Helps with the aggro control though when SY is up.

Don't forget it's also ranged, and you should be under Aggressive Refrain 100% of the time as a Paragon.

Cracked armor is renewed everytime AR refreshes. And if the monster AI does target the lowest armor, then my paragon may be holding that aggro.

But at least with TNTF and PS to cover TNTF down times, it should be fine.

You don't need PS to keep your imba alive. If you do.. fix your monk builds, trade in your starter armor, and don't be bad.

Nope, not dreaming. If you're running hench monks with this, the prot hench has PS so you don't need it cluttering up your orders. If you have a friend with heroes, have them run a decent build so you don't need it cluttering up your orders.
