OptionalsEdit

  • Add Spear of Lightning.jpg Spear of Lightning for good attack skill for general use.
  • Add Swift Javelin.jpg Swift Javelin if running in team with orders/aegis chains etc.
  • Add "Go for the Eyes!".jpg "Go for the Eyes!" for greater energy management. (The additional damage is insignificant against high-level foes)
  • Add Asuran Scan.jpg Asuran Scan can be used to better maintain SY! in areas with lots of blocking.
  • Add Anthem of Flame.jpg Anthem of Flame or Anthem of Weariness.jpg Anthem of Weariness to keep up AR outside of battle instead of relying on "There's Nothing to Fear!".jpg "There's Nothing to Fear!", as well as provide additional damage or defense.
  • For an alternative shout to maintain AR, consider "They're on Fire!".jpg "They're on Fire!", since it doesn't require you to stop moving (though the extra damage reduction is often unnecessary).
  • Add "We Shall Return!".jpg "We Shall Return!" and Blazing Spear.jpg Blazing Spear (replace Blazing Spear for Merciless Spear.jpg Merciless Spear if fighting Destroyers or Fire Elementals).
  • Swap Ebon Battle Standard of Honor.jpg Ebon Battle Standard of Honor for Spear of Fury.jpg Spear of Fury (Kurzick) for adrenaline instead of damage buffing.
  • Against Demons in Nightfall, take Lightbringer Signet.jpg Lightbringer Signet for instantly charged "SY!" and energy management.

Equipment Edit

Armor Edit

  • Centurion's or Survivor's Insignia on all pieces.
  • Rune of Superior Vigor.
  • Rune of Clarity.
  • Optional: Have a +1+3 Leadership headpiece on for casting AR.

Weapons Edit

  • Vampiric/Zealous/Sundering 15^50 Spear of Fortitude and a -20% Blind Command Shield of Fortitude.
  • +15/-1energy Staff in case you are low on energy.

Usage Edit

  • Alternate Focused Anger.jpg Focused Anger and "For Great Justice!".jpg "For Great Justice!" .
  • Keep "Save Yourselves!".jpg "Save Yourselves!" (Kurzick) and "There's Nothing to Fear!".jpg "There's Nothing to Fear!" up as much as possible.
  • Use your attack skills for damage.
  • Place Ebon Battle Standard of Honor.jpg Ebon Battle Standard of Honor strategically to increase you and your allies' damage.

Counters Edit

  • Anti-shout skills such as Vocal Minority.jpg Vocal Minority, Roaring Winds.jpg Roaring Winds, and Well of Silence.jpg Well of Silence.
  • Anti-adrenaline hexes or spirits such as: Infuriating Heat.jpg Infuriating Heat , Soothing.jpg Soothing or Soothing Images.jpg Soothing Images .
  • Blind/Missing, Blocking, and Hexes that trigger on attacks.

Variants Edit

  • Replace Aggressive Refrain.jpg Aggressive Refrain with Flurry.jpg Flurry for more intensive play, but higher IAS. (Not recommended for beginner imbagons)
  • Add Wild Throw.jpg Wild Throw instead of one of the attack skills to get through blocking stances.
  • Add Hexbreaker Aria.jpg Hexbreaker Aria to combat hexes in caster parties. Maintaining "Save Yourselves!".jpg "Save Yourselves!" (Kurzick) should be prioritized over Hex Removal, but you can still manage both.
  • Add "Fall Back!".jpg "Fall Back!" to decrease time spent during the run between mobs with an expense of losing some DPS; it can also be used on recharge to maintain AR.
  • Invest 8 pts in Tactics (or 9 if you want a Tactics shield) instead of Command and add "To the Limit!".jpg "To the Limit!" to get "Save Yourselves!".jpg "Save Yourselves!" (Kurzick) charged instantaneously should your party encounter foes in greater numbers than 3. It is also useful if your attacking is disabled (Blind, Blurred Vision etc). It is also a very good skill to maintain Aggressive Refrain.jpg Aggressive Refrain.

Add Signet of Aggression for good adrenaline management.

Notes Edit

  • A Sunspear Rank of at least 8 is preferable. If using Spear of Fury.jpg Spear of Fury (Kurzick), your Kurzick/Luxon rank should be at least 3.
