Relic

Usage of Dagger requires Secrets of the Obscure. Sword or Axe are a decent alternative.

• Unlike berserker or spellbreaker, you do not have any increase to your critical chance, so you share gear with bladesworn. Alternatively, use Signet of Fury, Rune of Superior Rune of the Scholar, and go full berserker with one Assassin ring.
• You can use Relic of Zakiros to trade a minor amount of damage for sustain, Relic of the Cavalier to start combat with boons, or Relic of Durability for a little extra defense.

Consumables

Budget consumables are acceptable for use in open world.

DPS

• Prioritize Steak Ascended food.

Defense

• can be combo'd with Might Makes Right for insane self-healing.

Usage

Chants and motivation

Chants are the profession mechanic of the paragon. Activating a Chant gives Alacrity thaks to Feverish Pulse. After activation, Chants pulse boons (called Refrain) for as long as you have Motivation, with higher Motivation pulsing more boons.

You gain Motivation when you use a Chant, or when you use a Burst skill while you have a Chant pulsing boons (called Refrain). While at 7 or higher motivation, the boons pulsed from your Chants, the Refrain, are stronger and you grow cosmetic wings.

Usability

• You automatically start combat with 4 Motivation and Chant of Action due to the trait Call to Action. However, this does not trigger Feverish Pulse, so you want to use Chant of Action yourself as soon as possible.
• Spam Chant of Action. You always want to stay on Chant of Action pulsing its Refrain to provide permanent Fury and large amounts of Might. To supplement Alacrity, use Chant of Recuperation but followed by Chant of Action to continue pulsing offensive boons.
• If needed, use Chant of Freedom for Stability and stunbreak, but return to Chant of Action as soon as possible.
• Spend excess adrenaline on your weapon Burst skills.

Boon generation

By spamming Chant of Action and "Find Their Weakness!" you provide permanent Alacrity, Fury, and large amounts of Might.

Additionally, you provide yourself only with permanent Quickness and 25 Might due to Aggressive Onslaught.

Defense

• Chant of Recuperation gives barrier and minor healing.
• Chant of Freedom gives Stability, defensive boons based on your Motivation, and breaks stun.
• "We Shall Return!" and "Shake It Off!" cleanse conditions.

Crowd Control

• Bull's Charge
• Earthshaker
• Staggering Blow
• Backbreaker
• Disrupting Stab
• Tremor
