Okay, hopefully a simple question.

13 Spear Mastery
9 Command
12 Leadership

Prayer of the Forgotten
14-27 Piercing Dmg. (req. 9 Spear Mastery)
Double adrenaline gain (Chance 10%)
Energy +5
Health +30

I use "Go for the Eyes!" shout in conjunction with Vicious Attack.
Is it better to use Spear of Lightning or Spear of Fury to coincide with GftE and Vicious attack?

Spear of Fury gives +3 Adrenaline and deals a lot of damage. But Spear of Lightning has armor penetration and seems slightly more spammable at a recharge of 6 rather than Spear of Fury's recharge of 8.


P.S. The rest of my bar is standard PvX Imbagon.

"Standard PvX imbagon" should include Save Yourselves, There's Nothing to Fear, and Ebon Battle Standard of Honor. Therefore, Swift Javelin since you should have mandatory orders going.

If you really want one of those two, bring Lightning. EBSoH does way more for you and your team than Spear of Fury will since you should have adrenaline flowing like crazy as is.

only way to do damage as paragon imo = asuran scan + find their weakness + spear of fury. otherwise paragon = support. bring SY Tntf. in nm i prefer Incoming fallback signet of return. incoming. focused anger. soldier's fury are pretty much the only decent para skills. wtb buff xD

It would depend largely on the area.

If you are going to get wtfpwnt as soon as you enter a big mob, you'll want to have SY up as soon as you enter.

If it's an easier fight, or you realise you can use prot spirit to absorb damage also, then gogo Swift attack and bring Ebsoh.

Spear of Lightning.

Don't waste a PvE slot for Fury. EBSoH is sooo much better.

Never once have I seen that used in any Imbagon build. And I was one of the first to use it. At least I feel like I was, I was using it before I saw anyone else used it and before it went up on PvX. The build I always used (I do not use it anymore), is:

Spear of Fury
Go For The Eyes
Fall Back
For Great Justice
Save Yourselves
There's Nothing To Fear
Focused Anger
Aggressive Refrain

Your first question is probably: "Why Spear of Fury with no condition?", and perhaps calling me an idiot. Well generally, you have elementalists in the party, and they are usually fire. And with fire comes... burning. Go For The Eyes is instant energy gain every 2 hits I make, renewing Aggressive Refrain in the process. Fall Back is basically just a space filler, used to keep Aggressive Refrain up during periods between fights (used in conjunction with There's Nothing To Fear), while avoiding the cast time of a chant. FGJ is well... for when Focused Anger is down, SY and TNtF are there for obvious reasons, as well as the last two skills. So there you have it, in my opinion one of the better Imbagon builds. Hope this helps, and I hope not to get too trashed for it .
