Yaki 18:32, 16 June 2007 (CDT) I have one question because my description ingame says: .."all other party members within earshot gain 100 armor" which leaves out the '+' which would make a big difference. Which one is the real description?
 * Yes, you're right. The entire party gains 100 armor, not +100 armor. Now the question is whether or not the party members with already more armor (like a dervish with Avatar of Balthazar who have 110 armor) will now gain less armor :S. And I also think this description means that it has no limits with the armor cap, so even characters who have just started (5 armor minimum) will gain 100 armor as well. Someone should also change the description here, on Guildwiki, cause it is wrong.
 * Firstly, you gain 100, meaning your AL is increased by 100, so 60 becomes 160, 70 becomes 170, etc. Secondly, the larger AL bonus will override the smaller one, so AoB dervs will gain 100 armor instead of 40 from AoB. Thirdly, you can only get the Luxon/Kurzick skills if you are level 20. And fourth, please use Show Preview. Cheers --Gimmethegepgun 03:39, 5 July 2007 (CDT)

 * Every other skill with an aquisition just has it listed at a skill trainer. You don't need to have that extra except perhaps in the notes or in Allegiance rank. --Kale Ironfist 21:17, 15 June 2007 (CDT)

No fair! Why couldn't ANet have implemented the +25 stacking cap a day afterwards? I want to try an Eight-Warrior "Save Everyone!" build for PvE. +700AL for everyone, why not. Now let's gank Shiro with all eight of our Storm of Swords active. -- Jioruji Derako.> 05:27, 16 June 2007 (CDT)

 * And shouts don't stack. You could chain it though. Sirocco 08:54, 16 June 2007 (CDT)
 * @Sirocco, I believe he was saying that it would be cool if this skill was BEFORE the armor cap. But true, shouts don't stack, so that wouldn't work. Either way, with high adrenaline gain on even one or two people with this skill could make a party very tough to take down. --NYC Elite 10:50, 16 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Yeah forgot about that "shouts don't stack" clause. Still, two Warriors with this will give the entire team the +100 armor... you just need a way to build up the adrenaline fast enough. I can really see this skill put to good use on some Paragons, what with Soldier's Fury and whatnot. As soon as I hit level one of the title, I'm grabbing this for my paragon. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jioruji Derako.> 20:24, 16 June 2007 (CDT)

 * Technically, you could always just put on something like "For Great Justice!" and charge into a mob, then let them pound the crap outta you until you have enough adrenaline. Then, you shout "Save Yourselves!" as the mob kills you. And come on. Look at the skill's name! That's obviously exactly how it's meant to be used. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jioruji Derako.> 03:25, 17 June 2007 (CDT)

Bonder Usage
Assuming the player could get by using Warrior secondary and therefore sacrificing mantra of signets, could a decent enough amount of points be put into smiting to keep this up indefinitely, or at least with little down time? (86.149.96.101 07:25, 17 June 2007 (CDT))
 * Balthazar's Spirit gives points, not strikes, so it would take a ridiculous amount of hits to you to generate 8 adrenaline, all for +100 armor for OTHER party members. I think what you want is a Paragon/Warrior with Focused Anger and Aggressive Refrain using Anthem of Flame/"Go for the Eyes!" to maintain the latter. --Kale Ironfist 09:47, 17 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Get Mark of Fury or Dark Fury on someone else and then with focused anger, that's 4 adrenaline a hit. That would it easier at low ranks.

Earshot Range?
Hey...the skill description does not specifically state it only affects party members in earshot range. Does that mean you can be on some other part of the radar but just not in earshot range, and still use this to give +100 armor? If so, then here is an idea: Rage of the Ntouka + any skill that increases Adrenaline gain + other skills that give free Adrenaline, such as Signet of Aggression perhaps. You can stay out of battle at a huge distance and still help out with this skill. Add in some other skills that help the party at a distance, like Protective Was Kaolai or Heal Party...and you're all set. (T/C) 18:32, 17 June 2007 (CDT)

Progression

This skill is great.
This skill is an awesome skill, you always get +100 for your allies no matter the rank and it can always be recharged quick with adrenaline gain, making the duration not really matter since it won't ever get higher when on a paragon no matter your rank, i can't wait to get this skill on my paragon. - Chrisworld 12:28, 19 June 2007 (CDT)

Build ideas
I hate that it says entire party but in fact is just earshot, but it's a shout so I sorta figured that would be the case. Paragon builds would undoubtedly be smarter, but since I play a warrior mostly right now I thought I'd toss out a build idea for a warrior:


 * Warrior/Paragon -
 * Attributes: 16 tactics, 9 sword...82 attribute points to anything else (superior tactics & sword runes)
 * (use a tactics shield)
 * Skills - 1. Enduring harmony, 2. For great justice, 3. Steady stance, 4. desperation blow, 5. drunken blow, 6. save yourselves, 7 great dwarf armor?, 8??? (signet of return or healing?)

Let's go extreme...suppose you get the full 6 second 'save yourselves'. This build then will get that to 9 seconds, a reasonable cycle time. For great justice's 100% adrenaline buff will last 30 seconds. So you get ~3 fight cycles before you need to trigger for great justice again. So basically you charge toward some buggers, just before engagement, trigger enduring harmony, for great justice, and steady stance. Then hit with desperation blow triggering steady stance's adrenaline/energy gain (If desperation blow is blocked or misses, trigger drunken blow). It will amount to 8 strikes of adrenaline. 1 + 1 for the hit. 3 + 3 for the steady stance. So save yourselves is open to use now. Trigger it...ya got 9 seconds now....tick tick tick. Then hit steady stance and desperation/drunken blow again, enduring harmony, and then save yourselves...and so on. I tried it out a bit and it works ok...but of course I need to boost my luxon title a bunch. For skill slot 8 I put in healing signet or sometimes signet of return. With 82 extra attribute points you could put in some paragon skill or other warrior skill. If you DON'T do that tho, stuff yer extra points into swordsmanship (for +critical hits) and/or strength (for sundering bonus). Zealous mods help (or possibly a furious mod). Obviously a paragon using something like this would work better. At any rate...thought I'd let others chew this to pieces and hopefully come up with something better.

No more bonding???
This, Focused Anger, Spear of Fury, "Make Your Time", "Nothing to Fear", Aggressive Refrain, "Go For The Eyes" and posibly Infuriating Heat from a teammate to cover 15 of not haveing Focused Anger on yourself. If used properly this would make bonding look patetic.--Glass 22:19, 27 June 2007 (CDT)

Not likely, seeing as how the shout doesnt affect the one using it, and the shouter has to constantly attack, which in turn means they are constantly in range of enemies, I know that would not work at all in doa w/out a bonder. Though I do wonder if the shouter could be made into a tank...--Mike The Psycho 00:23, 28 June 2007 (CDT)

The one using it would be a paragon in the midline. I don't doubt that the AI would leave them alone. And even if they don't, healing the paragon is easier than healing the eles, or monks. Tycn 08:22, 28 June 2007 (CDT)

If used without any other armor bonus...
This line is necessary. if you already had "watch yourselves!", then you only gained 80 extra armor, and the benefit is smaller. if you have any -x damage reduction, then the benefit is higher. Foo 16:33, 15 August 2007 (CDT)

Note
Shouldn't the phrase with "it can be even more useful for Paragons, who benefit less from the armor on themselves (as they are not at the front of the battle)" in it be adjusted? The skill clearly says "other party members"...
