The original build's discussion

Good for AB|general PvE

The ToF Tank combines the offensive power of the Paragon's Burning skills, the Warrior's damaging area-of-effect attacks, and the defensive power of the Paragon skill "They're on Fire!".

This build is most effective in PvE, but not as effective in PvP, due to the great amount of anti-Burning skills used.

Equipment

 * Armor with Radiant Insignias
 * Axe with either a Sundering or Vampiric Mod, and a Command Shield

Usage

 * Cast Aggressive Refrain at the beginning of combat, and recast it if it expires.
 * Cast Blazing Finale on yourself and other melee units, if applicable.
 * Cast Anthem of Flame for the positive Energy gain, the refreshment of Aggressive Refrain when out of combat, and the Burning.
 * Use Triple Chop and Cyclone Axe when fighting groups to quickly charge Adrenaline.
 * Use "Go for the Eyes!" whenever it is available, which will generate massive Energy for the Paragon, dramatically increase the damage of all melee units, and quickly trigger Blazing Finale.
 * Keep "They're on Fire!" constantly on the party.

Counters

 * Anti-Shout skills, such as Vocal Minority and Well of Silence.
 * Anti-Melee skills and conditions, such as Reckless Haste and Blind.

Variants

 * Use "Stand Your Ground!" instead of a Resurrection Signet in areas where a resurrection skill is unnecessary (i.e. Alliance Battles).
