Talk:Leadership

the profesion page lists this as max 1/3 ranks while its max 1/2 ranks here. Which is correct? Midnight08 12:17, 31 July 2006 (CDT)
 * neither, beta profession. call back after the Nightfall FPE. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 12:21, 31 July 2006 (CDT)
 * The value in the NPE was 2. I changed the other article.  --68.142.14.19 12:34, 31 July 2006 (CDT)

Do spirits or minions count as allies?
 * Minions do, not sure about spirits --[[Image:Kitty1.jpg|24px|]] (Talk) (Cont) (Cool) [[Image:Soft2.jpg|24px|]] 12:04, 3 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Normally, spirits do count as allies, exapmle can be found by Horn of the Ox. -- [[Image:Ritualist-icon-small.png]] Cwingnam2000 12:07, 3 September 2006 (CDT)

Isn't this just a whee bit too powerful? I can hardly imagine anet intended 5 energy enchants to be comeletely free for paragons o.O (Not a fifty five 10:32, 21 September 2006 (CDT))
 * Who said anything about enchants? It only works with shouts and chants, not enchantments. --Shattered Self 12:56, 3 October 2006 (CDT)
 * THat's what I meant >.<
 * They're free if you have at least 10 points in Leadership and there are at least 2 allies within earshot. What's more, I think all the Leadership-based shouts and chants cost 10+ energy or are adrenaline-based. --Shattered Self
 * At least 4 allies actually. -- Gordon Ecker 23:51, 3 October 2006 (CDT)

Description is a bit vague. Does it basically mean you get energy every time you make a shout, and energy received is dependant on how many allies THAT shout affected? --Mira 10:17, 30 October 2006 (CST)
 * Yeah, I'm confused too. Say you use "Go For The Eyes!" and the 2 tanks attack but the 2 monks in the back don't attack. The 2nd time you use that shout, it will already be present on the 2 monks, so will you get 2 less energy? Oh yeah, assume the party is made up of 2 tanks, 2 monks and the Paragon :) --Schmerdro
 * You'll get energy for the monks and the duration of GftE on them will be reset but the old copy won't count as ending. --Fyren 13:05, 24 February 2007 (CST)

Apparently it doesn't count for henchies, i've been using the Anthem of Flame chant but it always gives me back only one block of energy. Not sure if this is a bug or whatever. ~ Melton 07:58, 31 October 2006 (CST)
 * Okay, nevermind, I read the skill description wrongly. You get only one energy per ally who is affected by your shouts. And two points in leadership increases the maximum amount of energy gained by 1. Meaning that it increases your ability to get energy per ally. At 2 leadership you'd be getting 1 energy no matter how many allies there are. ~ Melton 10:41, 31 October 2006 (CST)

I'm also having the problem with anthem of flame and henches/heroes.
 * What kind of problem? I've been using it just fine with them. Note what is said above about leadership increasing the max energy gained from a shout/chant. --Thervold 14:09, 5 December 2006 (CST)

I reverted another report of it not working on heroes and henchmen. I just tried again to be sure, still works fine. --Fyren 16:19, 7 December 2006 (CST)

minions and pets count as allies but you don't get more than 8 energy at leadership 16

I've been having problems with this, too. I had 12 (8+1+3) Leadership, and was in a party of 1 hero and 2 henchies. Using "They're on fire!" got me a total of 4 energy. Not only was it failing to notice the runes and headgear, the henchies and heroes weren't being counted as allies - though I could SEE that Koss was at least affected.

Suggestion
I think the desctiption of Leadership should be changed to "You gain up to 2 Energy for each ally affected by one of your Shouts or Chants (maximum 1 Energy for every 2 ranks)." to make the paragon able to play in smaller parties without their serious e-management problems.-- ( √ iktor ) 18:36, 17 June 2007 (CDT)
 * The whole point of the Paragon was to play in larger (8 player party) settings. Regardless, all you have to do is bring another adrenaline shout/chant instead of an energy based one and you're good to go. --Kale Ironfist 19:44, 17 June 2007 (CDT)
 * I know it forces paragon players to do this but Im getting tired of playing my cookiecutter build for 4 player parties and noone really plays them in TA/RA/AB, well there are a few builds that works there but not as many as for the other classes and the e-man never gets as good as when in a 8 player party. The change in Leadership that I want should'nt make the class imballanced in compairsion to the other classes e-man. I just want the paragon to get ait more usable in PvP maybe changing the Shouts and Chants to all skills that targets allies but that would make the paragon useable with classes other than warrior but anet cant allow that I mean since that actually could make the paragon usable.--[[Image:vik.PNG]] ( √ iktor ) 02:18, 18 June 2007 (CDT)

=19 N/A?= I disagree, you can get 19 Leadership with the special event stuff... -- Zerpha The Improver 09:44, 23 July 2007 (CDT)
