This build concentrates on getting enemies down very quick and getting max defence out of paragons.

Because i combine "They're on Fire!" with "There's Nothing to Fear!" and save yourself i almost take no dmg.

I will explain the ranger and the 3rd paragon build that are most important to me.



The ranger needs to apply burning all the time. Incendiary arrows take care of this + also adds poison from Poison tip sig. This ranger( and also paragons) will deal large bonus amount of dmg ( with OoP, Anthem of Envy, conjure flame, expert focus, EBSoH, barbs.)
You will have to micro this ranger his Lightning reflexes because he'll only use it when he is getting attacked.

My 3rd paragon needs alot of energy because he has to apply his chants and echos on the teammembers. So i have chosen "TPIY!" because its spammable. Because he has good energy management, he can put blazing finale on alot of teammebers. This causes burning for 5 seconds on adjenct foes whenever shout or chant ends on that person.
I got 11 ( shouts + chants) total. So you can see how much burning this will cause and how much health the teammembers will get from Finale of restoration.

I only took 2 discords because when the heroes are done with casting discord, the foe is already at 50% health so id rather take Icy veins on my 3rd necro for a spammable, hard dmg hex.
I can easily finish a Nightfall vanquish ( 270 foes) in 40 minutes. (without having to search for stupid survivors i've missed^^)

looks nice, i plan on trying it, so you say you have used it multiple times and it works great?

Some criticism from a first eyeballing:

- If you use Orders, don't use Conjure;

- Putrid Explosion < Death Nova. If you're going to use Bone Minions, DN is a must;

- Icy Veins is useless in HM, slap some resto on a SoS and you have an equally efficient healer;

- Poison Tip Signet is useless. Burning + Discord is already a tricky if workable combo (key here is to spam burning everywhere so that the pressure isn't wasted by the spike), single target poison won't do anything except waste time. In fact, that ranger should be replaced by a third para;

- Mark of Fury is redundant when there already is Dark Fury;

- Demonic Flesh? Are you sure you want your Orders surrounded by ennemies? :s

- Orders don't really warrant ER. A N/ Orders will easily outperform this one and can bring some curses to boot.

The ranger is extremely redundant and/or weak. Poison Tip Signet is a joke and can't spread burning that well.

Demonic Flesh on an ER? Do you have a totem axe on him or something?

Overall, your bar has very little AoE damage. Icy Veins deals very little damage and Putrid Explosion is the only real AoE damage you have.Orders doesn't affect the ranger. Seems like just another Discord variant to me.

Use an SF ele or use mark of rodgort with fire nukes instead of the ranger. Orders necro is a bit useless, may aswell use something like a panic mes or SoS.

First off I would swap out TPIY on your motigon for Empath Removal. You have only one hex removal skill and it's the weakest one in the game.
The ranger is not a horrible idea, but the way it's being used is. Swap out poison sig and some of the plain damage attacks with interrupts, and add in Keen Arrow if you are going to spam GftE.
I agree with most people, in that you might as well go three discords.
Swap out demonic flesh with Aura of Restoration for e and health mgmt.

Lastly as a point of style, you don't have to explain what your character paragon does, we all know what an imbagon is.
Thanks!

One of the points in a physway is to avoid reliance on spell oriented dps, including a reliance on buffs. Orders is fragile and doesn't work in every situation (ench removal,general caster rape), this being especially the case when you have no caster control. The reason why I suggested and SF ele is obviously to maintain burning rather than DPS. You can slap curses skills on to them pretty easil, like barbs (replacing the barbs on the 2nd necro for MoP) and enfeebling blood. Infact you may aswell replace the IV necro with an SoS,spirit rift can cause mass cracked armour just as effectively as well as provide more damage output. That and splinter wep+ancestors rage will give you decent AoE damage.
