Paragon Builds Compendium

[seamussheridan]

Thanks for that.

I'd try doing it, but the builds seem to hate me. I can never get them right, I always get blank boxes.

[Fownkaymownkay]

Eh, I feel bad for being mean. Here are the rest, from 6th onwards:

There you go, enjoy. I'll ask Auntie to put all the template strings together on the last post or something.

[Mr Panda]

I have no idea why, but I couldn't get the Heavy Bashagon to load in GW, claimed it was an invalid template. I put the exact same build with skills, order and attributes into another program and it spat this out at me:

AZMCqaiT8gWOLlYLsPOd7uhxA

Completely different string, but it's seemingly correct, OQGjMxmlqOolzSJ2c7jT3ubYMA got rejected.

Also, I noticed that the first two builds don't have attributes :)

EDIT - Bah, in all my nitpicking, I failed to mention this: great builds and very useful, especially for starting Paragons, good use of the elites :)

[Auntie I]

OK guys, as you post stuff here, I'll move it to the appropriate spot. You can also pm me stuff (Yes, I have cleaned out my pm storage to make room).

[Fownkaymownkay]

To be completely honest, I haven't played the first two builds enough to give them correct attributes. I mean, you can guess it'll have 11+3 Command, around 11+1 Leadership, and the rest SM. Or if you want to do more damage, drop Leadership to 9+1, and put SM up another notch.

With the next update I'll put in general attributes for the ones that don't have them, and I'll fill in most if not all of the explanations too.



Oh, and I completely forgot to credit The Divider. Auntie, please add his name to the list. Thanks!

I also realized that I should put the normal Bashagon up there instead of my Heavy Blow variant.. I put it up there mostly cause Morghan refuses to use Hammer Bash, so I ended up going with Staggering/Heavy. I'll switch em up soon.

[Fownkaymownkay]

Updated!

Will add a FA and Stunning Strike build soon. Please, give me some input on the format, some new builds, comments on the builds themselves, etc. Thanks!

They're used together, generally for GvG... You use "Go for the eyes!" as you're throwing Vicious Attack to get the deep wound every time. Made in response to Aegis chains... You can keep it off 24/7 with the builds, just mirror as it comes up and shatter when needed. You can run anything from minor to superior, Asp was telling me that they run sups on the Paras since they're pretty hard targets; however, I didn't see that huge of a damage difference so you could do minor or major as well.

[semantic]

Here's a set of 2 builds I run a lot. One for me, the other for Morgahn.

[build name="Player" prof=Paragon Command=10 Leadership=10 SpearMastery=11][Spear of Lightning][Blazing Spear][Blazing Finale][Go for the Eyes][Soldier's Fury]["They're on Fire"][Stand your Ground][Sunspear Rebirth Signet][/build]

[build name="Morgahn" prof=Paragon Command=10 Leadership=10 Motivation=8 SpearMastery=8][Spear of Lightning][Blazing Spear][Go for the Eye's][Anthem of Fury][Anthem of Envy][Finale of Restoration][Aria of Restoration][Never Surrender][/build]

I wear 1 major rune (Spear) and 2 minors. Same for Morgahn, so his final spread as listed in the picture is 9/11/11/11.

Execution is simple. Blazing Finale on the tank, Soldier's Fury and attack (it's actually pretty critical that you be the first target in most places, so don't call target - just run in spear first). In an 8 person group, you've got enough energy to use the Echo, Chant, and both Shouts right off the bat, although saving SYG for when serious damage starts is good.

2 things make this tandem particularly fun to play. First, spread Blazing Finale around, especially on hench casters. They like to wand, so the burn will trigger on GftE for them pretty regularly. This will give them the reduction from ToF vs anyone chasing them around.

The other thing to watch (or actually, listen) for is Morgahn's Anthem of Fury. He uses it like clockwork, and the insta-charge to GftE is priceless. Or if you bring Wild Throw in slot 2, knowing you can generate free adrenaline just for using Spear of Lightning (whether it hits or not), can be big in places.

As far as Finale of Restoration goes, the number of triggers we can pump out makes it a pretty crazy heal, even with only 9 in Motivation (at which it heals for 51). The Aria is in there just because a little extra group-wide healing is helpful, but other skills are useful in that slot as well.

And why Soldier's Fury? TBH, I'm addicted to 33% IAS.

[Fownkaymownkay]

In the second build, you are just killing your damage and efficiency by dipping into Motivation. 9 Spear Mastery really does very little damage. If you really want support, I'd use SYG and Angelic Protection instead of the two motivation skills you have for round the clock +armor and spike protection. Or if you are intent on using a finale, use Energizing Finale to keep your monk/casters full to the brim with energy.

[Akirai Annuvil]

9 Spear Mastery really does very little damage.

Same for Morgahn, so his final spread as listed in the picture is 9/11/11/11.

So SM is 11, not 9 which is decent enough...

The problem which I see is that you are missing out on AoF's breakpoint at 13 leadership. Maybe replace the motivation line with Anthem of Flame and Burning Refrain or Bladeturn Refrain?

Anyway to help the compendium, here is a more supportive bashagon.

Alternate Bashagon

The attributes w/ runes:
8+1 Command, 10+2+1 Leadership, 12 Hammer Mastery

It's simple, but works. Basically, a fairly adrenaline heavy team, and keep using Anthem of Fury and Anthem of Flame on recharge. Keep up Aggressive Refrain, and use GftE! for energy purposes (as well as boosting DPS).
FtW! allows you, or any attacking teammate really, to cause a cheap Deep Wound which is of course helpful.
