Does this skill effect ALL party members, or those just within earshot? I'm currently banned and I cannot test this. Someone please do?

stop buying gold imo.

in seriousness:

It will only effect those within the range to be able to benefit from the shout. The guy thats 9 aggro bubbles away, gets nothing.

BTW, I was banned for unacceptable character name

In order for a shout/chant to work, they need to be within your aggro range.

All shouts and chants = Earshot.

Why would SY be any different?

Skill type. Shouts have no activation time and are therefore instantaneous; they can be used during the activation of another skill or when knocked down. Shouts typically have earshot range. Paragon and warrior shouts have a name in quotation marks. When those shouts are activated, their name appears above the user.

As a paragon you shouldn't been in the back spamming shouts, you should be up in the midline, in between casters and melee, using your shouts to support and your spear to damage.

what it sounds like is that you are playing with people that dont know what aggro is (urasn W/Mo comes to mind). Dont worry about buffing them, stay in the middle and help the guys in the back that need the defence boost.

Good players will stay tight, unless there is a reason to spread out.

Adrenaline cost = you need to be in the midline anyways.

...



Also, pretty stupid name to get banned for - how is anyone offended by it? :S

A Paragon has Warrior-like armour and carries a thumping great spear. Save Yourselves is an adrenaline shout. A few things should click in your mind...throw spear, build adrenaline, shout.

Use the class as it should be used - A DPS character who can support the team with defensive or offensive shouts. Do not gimp yourself or your team by hiding with the squishies.

It affects all party members within earshot, minus yourself.

That is an awesome name lol, why would they ban it?

And on topic, how do you want to build adrenaline for SY when you're in backline?

Don't see how the earshot thing for SY is really a problem. If you're not in earshot, para is pretty darn useless in comparison to one that should be in the midline.

Every so often you get the guy that's never played with a para before, or the guy that just rushes in and aggroes everything.

Whenever that happens I just let them know that I can't protect them if they're out of my aggro range and they're on their own. Usually after one death they smarten up and staying within ear shot.
