User:Moloch/Build:Any/W Save Yourselves Soldier

This build is designed to allow any caster profession to successfully fill the role of a shout spammer maintaining respectable uptime of "Save Yourselves!". It is not the equal of a Paragon SY, who has access to "There's Nothing To Fear!" and reaps energy off shouts. However, if you are for some reason not able to run a player physical character with access to SY, this is a potent tool for party-wide defense. It is especially easy to run on a Necromancer primary with the energy benefits from Soul Reaping.
