I am attempting to put together some builds that a p/w or p/d could actually use to get into a group as a frontline damage character.
My first idea for a p/w would be using a hundred blades for big areas like urgoz and the deep. Where the team build is 3 frontliners and then backline and supports. Hundred blades build can easily be ran with sword and tactics.
Also earthshaker could possibly be done I dunno how you'd replace flail but you could replace enraging charge for tactics to the limit.
My main hope is to make a decent p/d that can use a scythe and still spam skills. For starters I would toss in gfte to somewhat help with energy management, but the problem comes with putting in another chant that can upkeep the spam without being an elite and having no cast time. There is a p/a dagger build which uses the power is yours but that would remove an elite scythe attack to use.
The main ias for that is another issue. Most likely having to resort to drunken master.
I like using my paragon in higher end areas and an imbagon is only 1 slot to fit into. I am trying to figure out a decent viable build that can be tossed in and do good enough damage to be worth it in a team of physicals.
If anyone has ideas as to skills that could be put in I am all ears for putting stuff together.
Viable melee paragon builds.

Good luck with your endeavor, however, just in case you aren't aware there is a build for Paragons to do damage.

I used this when I was capping elites for Survivor and I found it to work very well. It isn't melee, but it can fill a slot when there is already another Paragon running SY+TNTF
All the best

Anthem of Flame + Glowing Signet should give you plenty of energy when used with Go For the Eyes. Throw in TNTF, an IAS ( i would stick with AR despite the cracked armor... just pre prot yourself with your monk) and 3 Scythe Attacks.
This may not do as much damage as a scythe derv/sin... but what does it matter? this is PvE after all and anything really is possible in PvE

I was thinking maybe something like wounding strike, mystic sweep and other quick activation scythe + zealous sweep. Then add on gfte and use tntf + aggressive refrain for ias maybe. Hoping that with a zealous scythe you could get by using gfte once every other attack (since huge mobs= most of the time you will be hitting all 3). With zealous attachment and the occasional gfte and zealous sweep energy shouldn't be entirely bad.
With the 100 blades it's pretty easy to run as a p/w. 100 blades, whirlwind, sun and moon slash are cheap and have adrenaline for the attacks. Then it's just deciding to go with what for an ias. Drunken master would help just for being 1 slot and not needing like ar+ tntf.
Since there will be a few nukers the damage should be done quick is the main thing so maybe to the limit to quickly charge whirlwind.

Not in PVE anyway. Survivability should be fine. I've been a frontliner with my Nec for fun, testing an SY! bar. So yeah, para should be fine doing it.
try this:
http://pvx.wikia.com/wiki/Build:P/A_Dagger_Spammer
has decent party support while actually doing domages.
Similarly, scythe and axe versions can be found here:

Yeah I liked the look of the dagger spammer. Was just trying to see if I could do a scythe variant that would still utilize a scythe elite. The main problem is the aura of holy might costing 10 energy along with 3 scythe skills at a total of 15 energy.
I may have to try and convince someone to accept the p/a dagger spam build.

yeah it does, but it won't matter. with your zealous scythe you'll be getting 5-21 energy (5-7 times 3 targets) PER SWING depending on attribute... so you spend 5e on an attack skill, hit 3 targets, get 16 energy back. and next swing you do the same thing with another attack skill and get another 16 energy back. O_o
go try against ettins or minotaurs or something and you'll see what i mean. i don't know why i never see dervs using this because it is SPAM SPAM SPAM that puts warrior's endurance to shame.

I was just looking and liked the look of the skill farmer's scythe. If you attack more than 1 foe it'll instantly recharge and with zealous vow you'd have enough energy to spam it over and over again. A shame that it doesn't have a 3/4 activation though.
I think my setup would be something like asuran scan, zealous vow, aohm, drunken master (maybe for any kind of ias?) then gfte and the mystic with eremites. The only thing is deciding on the third attack skill while those are recharging. The farmer's scythe could help if your always having balled up foes but if not you'll be out of a third attack.
