This offensive Paragon is built primarily for AB (Alliance Battles). Equipped with three potent all ally effecting shouts (meaning it will effect friendly AB allies outside of your immediate team), this Paragon can be a huge boon during both capping and giant mob confrontations.

Equipment

 * Armor: Two minor attribute runes, one major attribute rune. One superior rune of vigor. One +2 energy rune or One rune of clarity to reduce blindness and weakness on you.
 * Hands: Furious PvP Spear of Fortitude with a PvP Shield of Fortitude (+30 HP), with your mods of choice. Bring a Zealous Spear as well.

Usage

 * Single team capping tactics: Your ideal single team will be individuals who can use 'attack skills' that trigger your Anthem of Flame, meaning Assassins, Warriors, Rangers, Paragons, and Dervishes. Use Dwayna’s Sorrow followed by Godspeed to move your party toward capping. Use Anthem of Flame to increase damage for your team as a whole, paying attention to who is using attack skills so you can time them to ultimately increase burning duration. Use ‘They’re on Fire!’ to reduce damage to your party, likewise, you should target your burning on offensive characters, ideally. You should have enough energy, and enough energy gain, to keep spamming these shouts as often as they come up (where useful), however your energy gain is proportional to the people they land on, so keep this in mind. You may switch to a Zealous Spear to gain energy if you’re low. Your fast attack rate will allow you to regen.


 * Mob Confrontations: This is where you really shine. If you see a huge mob confrontation taking up anywhere between 8-12 people from each team, it'll be your choice to get involved, but if you do you will find your shouts (and Dwayna’s Sorrow) affecting everyone in the battle. You most likely want to spam all your shouts as often as possible, because you most likely aren't totally aware of the life amount of all the friendlies around you.

Counters

 * Necromancer anti-Paragon hexes will cause you problems, such as Well of Silence and Vocal Minority.
 * Anti-Attacking spells or blindness will inhibit your personal offensive ability.

Variants

 * Replace Barbed Spear for any attack of your choice, such as Slayer's Spear, or Mighty Throw, which will go well with your very fast attack speed.
 * If you're secure in the faith of your dedicated healer, Blazing Finale might be useful to place on them for both offensive and defensive ends.
 * If you're hurting for energy, replacing an attack with "Go for the Eyes!" will help keep it up.
 * If you're really hurting for energy, Glowing Signet will give you all the energy you need. Removing Barbed Spear, Blazing Spear, and Soldier's Fury for Cruel Spear or Stunning Strike, Aggressive Refrain, and Glowing Signet is a possibility.
