User:Abs of Glue/Damage Buffer


 * Similar to the [Build:P/W Party Support|P/W Party Support] build, this provides your team with a significant boost in offensive and defensive power.

Equipment

 * Preferably a Centurion Insignia with Radiant Insignias. Survivor Insignias are optional.
 * Major Motivation/Leadership are ideal for minimizing health loss, along with the highest vigor rune possible
 * Weapons may include (but not limited to) Prayer of the Forgotten and Shagu's Anthem, for example. You won't be responsible for doing a whole lot of damage, just as long as you can deal ranged damage for adrenaline.

Usage

 * Before battle, use "Stand Your Ground!" and "Shields Up!" as the warriors run into battle.
 * Attack the closest target using "C", while trying to keep as many of your allies as possible in your shouting range. Once you've built up enough adrenaline, spam "Go for the Eyes!" and "Watch Yourself!".
 * Use Anthem of Flame and Anthem of Fury on Warriors in range. You should also try to hit other melee type characters with at least Anthem of Flame to help deal more damage.
 * Heal yourself with Leader's Comfort to relieve pressure off of monks.
 * Use Signet of Return on fallen allies.

Counters

 * Well of Silence and Vocal Minority can severly disrupt you, leaving you without any shouts.
 * Roaring Winds and Ulcerous Lungs can be a problem, but can be overcome.
 * General melee counters (Blind, Ward Against Melee, etc) can reduce adrenale income, and you will loose your two more spammable shouts.
 * If your shouts do not hit enough people for Leadership's energy gain to take effect, you can loose energy very quickly.

Variants

 * Replace "Stand Your Ground!" for "Fall Back!" for minor healing and a group speed boost.
