User:Marksmen of Hell/Shutdown Team Build

KK, ppl, this is the first build i write here, so be a bit patient.

Ok, the general Premise of this build is pretty much shutting down both casters and attackers. The casters are shutdown by the W/N Headbutt Plaguer by his use of headbutt, and plague touch, in combination with silencing daggers to Daze a target for about 37 seconds. The Attackers are shutdown by the P/D Blinding Paragon, using Ebon Dust Aura to blind and covering that with Barbed Spear, as well as with the R/D Grasping Ranger's use of Grenth's Grasp and Apply poison to cover the blind.

Headbutt Plaguer

 * The first optional should be an attack skill of choice. This attack could be Bull's Strike or Portector's strike to punish kiting foes, or an axe attack, suck as Penetrating Blow/Chop, Executioner's Strike, or Agonizing Chop.


 * The Second Optional slot should be an IAS stance to increase your odds of interupting a casting foe.

Equipment
Radiant Armor, or equivalent is required. Set 1) XXX Axe of XXX, Inscription:XXX (Dance with Death would be usefull while in Stance)    Set 2) Silencing Daggers of XXX Set 3) Cruel Axe of XXX Inscription: XXX     Note: The XXX depicts mods of choice.
 * Armor:
 * Weapons

Usage

 * Choose a caster as your target, preferably a monk, and use Enraging Charge before attacking to jump start your adrenaline gain.
 * As soon as Dismember and Axe Twist are charged, change to your daggers and hit with the combo Headbutt, Plague Touch (call your target so the P/D and R/D cover the Daze), IAS Stance, Dismember, Axe Twist.
 * Use the other optional attack skill as needed

Counters

 * Mass condition Removal and E-denail will stop this build

Variants

 * Changing out Enraging Charge/IAS for a self heal (Healing Signet or Lions Comforte), and droping the level of strength and Axe mastery to add to Tactics.

Blinding Paragon

 * Optional Skill should be a cover enchantment for Ebon Dust aura. An enchant tha deals earth damage, such as Dust Cloak and Staggering Force, would be great, as it you would allow you to switch to a weapon with mods of choice.

 * Use barbed spear on any attacker to cover the blind with the bleeding. Also let the R/D know which target you are targetting so he could further cover the blind.
 * Use Harrier's Toss to punish moving foes.
 * Use GFTE as an energy source and Anthem of Envy to increase the damage dealt by all party members. Use Never Surrender to give allies that are being hit some health regen.

Variants
Variants would include switching Harrier's Toss for another attack skill, and Never Surrender for another skill, ie Fall back to flee, Never Give Up to help with energy, IAS.
