This support Paragon together with the two healer henchman can cover all the defensive needs of the Nightfall campaign. The core of this build can also be used as basis for a PvP motivation Paragon/Warrior.

Armor
You should focus on defense with your gear, since energy is easily managed by staying close to your team.


 * Insignias: Centurion's insignia on all armor pieces.
 * Runes: Major Motivation, Major Leadership, Minor Spear Mastery, Vigor (highest possible), and Vitae.
 * Use a Shield that requires Motivation.
 * Use a Shield Handle of Fortitude.
 * Use either the inscription "Master of My Domain" for extra Motivation or "Luck of the Draw" for damage reduction.

Weapon

 * Use a spear grip of Defense.
 * Use the inscription "I have the power!" for +5 Energy.
 * Use whichever spearhead will support your skills best -- Furious will allow you to keep "Watch Yourself!" ready to use relatively well even with all the chants and echos that you're casting.

Usage

 * This Paragon is very efficient in preventing and healing the damage to the whole team (like AoE spells, generic pressure, and health degeneration of the team). "Shields Up!" is also useful to prevent spike from archers, which is very common in the Nightfall campaign.
 * Using "Watch Yourself!" for energy management lets you easily spam all your other skills except Mending Refrain. However, with your high number of shouts and chants you are able to maintain Mending Refrain on all the members of the team during long fights.

Counters

 * If you can't acquire adrenaline you can't spam all your skills.
 * Necromancer's Anti-Paragon hexes totally shut down this build.

Variants

 * Replace Signet of Synergy with Spear of Lightning.
 * You may prefer to use another elite in some areas of PvE.
 * You can replace Signet of Return with another resurrection skill, or even with Lightbringer's Gaze when you need it. Like a monk, using this build you will not have time to resurrect while in combat.
 * Mending Refrain can be replaced by Finale of Restoration.
