Damage focused Paragon

[Soldier's Fury][Enduring Harmony][For Great Justice!][Wearying Spear][Purifying Finale][Dodge This!][Asuran Scan][Ebon Battle Standard of Honor] - ugly 10s downtime though. You could use celerity but then you hardly need IAS.

Drunken master + booze (or even without booze) in place of frenzy on my earlier build will work - probably much better given the energy costs. Some IAS + Ebon Standard should increase damage over the OP build.

And yeah, the cracked armor of AR messes up the wearying thing, your finale removes that instead of weakness. There are probably better skills to make a damage build around, but those are the constraints for this one. Yeah, there are definitely better damage builds focused around using a warrior primary. I simply love the idea of hitting for 50+ armor ignoring, unblockable damage per hit though.

This type of idea actually would work on a warrior primary pretty well. Too bad Battle Rage isn't 33 IAS instead of movement speed. I suppose it'd be pretty OP if that were the case though.

I also remember coming up with a weird Assassin build that was focused around hitting "Dodge This!" on every hit with Locust's fury, which was interesting.

paragons are for support, do support things

but because this is PvE, kudos for putting skills on your bar
This is Truth. The best kinds of paragon damage builds are builds that increase the damage of your group, not yourself. Really, the strongest paragon "attack skill" is GFTE. I suggest starting with that skill and working out from there.

You're playing the wrong class though if you want to go purely personal weapon damage and still be useful in pve.

You're playing the wrong class though if you want to go purely personal weapon damage and still be useful in pve. I play just about every class, because I get far too bored playing one for long

Also, being one for aesthetics, I generally do not like offensive party buffs because I can't see physically how much I am buffing people. At least with Imbagon, I can widely tell because -nothing- is dieing.

Everything burns. It's pretty easy to see the effect.

I've played:

[Spear of Lightning][Blazing Spear] or [Wild Throw][Cruel Spear][Anthem of Flame][Go for the Eyes][Aggressive Refrain][no skill][no skill]

for a spear chuck build. I'd run that over the first build.

It does. An ias can almost double your damage output. Yes also on this bar. IAS isn't needed he has Focused Anger and For Great Justice on the bar, even though it isn't a good build. Paragons are mainly for supporting the party not for doing the damage.

No IAS is always needed on basically any weapon-based char.

And Paras are made for both damage and support.

And Paras are made for both damage and support. unless 'weapon' characters explode when swinging a weapon without IAS on their skill bars, I think its safe to say you don't NEED to run anything... especially in PvE

you might not be optimally effective, sure, but you get my drift :P

Pfft then why say "Damage focused Paragon" if you're not going to be effective? It wouldn't be too hard to throw in Aggressive Refrain for Signet of Synergy running Racway, if you're picky about optimal effectiveness.

Interesting idea, but get rid of those useless self-heals.

I'm surprised no one suggestion [Drunken Master]. It's the easiest IAS and doubles as an IMS for running. What's wrong with [aggressive refrain]?

Paras can be good damage dealers as well as party boosters. The only thing paras should have though is something to make spears fly faster kind of like the Ranger prep. But ias, I guess is a good alternative.

Does purifying finale get rid of weakness from wearing right as you use it o-O? I never really considered trying it lolz. There are spear attacks that increase the flight speed of the spear.

[[Purifying Finale] removes weakness when a chant or shout ends. So if you have an anthem, shout, etc. that triggers on an attack skill(or next attack), you use [[Wearying Spear], the chant or shout ends, and [[Purifying Finale] should then trigger at that point.
