New elites that you love

[waywrong]

The more I use "Incoming!" the more I love it. it's amazing for a lot of missions, especially if you're going back to do some of the earlier ones for Master's where Kournan bowmen line up and try to spike you to death, also against areas with a lot of Elementalist mobs. And it's certainly proven very very useful against a certain lategame boss that can deal a massive amount of damage. I can't wait to use it in PvP to counter spike teams.

One elite that I wish I hadn't spend time/money capping was Anthem of Guidance, which I personally think is pretty weak for an elite.

Most paragon elite are super weak. Incoming is ok, but that's the only one I actually found useful. Angelic Bond is ok also.

Song of Restoration is nice.

I have a love/hate realationship with Defensive Anthem. I love it cause it hits everyone, stacks with shouts and stances and can help my monks. I hate it cause it barely works on Dervishs, Warriors and Rangers (because of that whole attack skill thing) and overall doesnt seem to last long enough.

Defensive is also useless with heros, since they wand every second they get >:L

[Elruid]

Yeah, what's up with most of Paragon elites sucking?
Oh, right, they just made a bunch of the PvP weekend non-elites into Elites.
And even nerfed some..

Well, I use mainly Cruel spear, haven't found anything else workable yet.
Angelic seems nice, but I dunno. Incoming as well.

Attack SKILLS are what break it, not "attacks." Anyone who attacks without using an attack skill will have Defensive Anthem on them for its duration.

Thus it ends on your warriors, dervishes, rangers, paragons, etc. However, your casters will remain protected by it since they don't use attack skills. For me, that's the beauty of it. Problem is its energy cost combined with its duration. Its only a 50% block, it seems like it could last a little bit longer for 15 energy...

Song of Restoration is nice.

where did you find this skill to cap it??

I love Song of Purification. I use a Spear-Motivation hybrid build in which I use Depleting Assault combined with Song of Purification, so that my follow up attack skill wont be effected by weakness. I also use various shouts to benefit my party.

I plan on capping Incoming and combining it with Vocal was Sogolon for a long duration of protection. Once I do cap it I will make my pure Shoutagon and see how it goes. I can also consider using Defensive Anthem in place of Incoming.
