[edit] Attributes and Skills

Paragon / Any	Attribute Rank
Spear Mastery	9
Command	9 + 1
Leadership	12

"Never Give Up!"

"Never Surrender!"

"Go for the Eyes!"

"They're on Fire!"

Soldier's Fury

Anthem of Flame

Barbed Spear

Signet of Return

[edit] Equipment

• Max Armor, With Centurian Insignias.
• For your spear, The Darksong is recommended or any spear with similar mods. For your shield, I recommend using Kunan's Bastion. As long as it is a Command shield with favorable bonuses it will do fine.
• Best vigor rune you can afford, 2 runes of vitae, and 2 runes of attunement.

[edit] Usage

• Keep Soldier's Fury up at ALL times to help with damage and adrenaline gain for your adrenal skills.
• Keep "They're On Fire!" up at ALL times to help lower the damage done to your group.
• Use Anthem Of Flame and "Go For The Eyes!" as much as possible to further benefit your team.
• Use Barbed Spear to inflict bleeding ( as well as Burning if Anthem Of Flame was on you ) To help spike.
• Cast "Never Surrender!" and "Never Give Up!" To support your team and aid the monks (keep in mind they have to have allies under 75% HP for them to work.).
• And of course, Resurrect fallen allies with Signet Of Return.

[edit] Counters

• Anti-Flame situations make the builds damage deduction useless.
• A very healthy team that stays over 75% hp that will make "Never Surrender!" and "Never Give Up!" not trigger.

[edit] Variants

• Since a secondary profession doesn't matter on this build, become a P/Mo for a different resurrect like Rebirth or Restore Life.
• Replace Barbed Spear with another low cost/adrenal using spear attack such as Mighty Throw.
• Until you get Soldier's Fury, Consider using Aggressive Refrain, it is much similar. If you do this consider Runes of Attunement to help the hefty fine of 25 energy!

[edit] Notes

• I used this build to help get Survivor on my Paragon.
