Some random paragon builds that I have been working on / using.

Paragon Support Hero
[build prof=P/? name="Paragon Hero" comma=3 mot=12+1+1 lea=12][Anthem of Flame][Song of Restoration][Ballad of Restoration]["They're on Fire!"][Purifying Finale][Finale of Restoration][Signet of Return][Glowing Signet][/build]

Introduction
This is a support hero build. It works well in synergy with a human Paragon that uses "GFtE" or "TPiY" since these trigger finales often.

Original Orders
[build prof=P/N name="Paragon Orders" blo=11 comma=5 mot=7+1 lea=11+3][Order of Pain][Dark Fury][Blood Renewal]["The Power Is Yours!"]["Go for the Eyes!"][Anthem of Weariness][Mending Refrain][Signet of Return][/build]

Introduction
This is my first, and only tested, Paragon Orders build. This build is intended for pure physical support with minor energy boosts.

Equipment

 * Use a staff with 20% enchantments and two 20%HCT. Vahnahk's Staff should work fine.

Usage

 * Maintain Mending Refrain on self with anthem of weariness, cast on allies as you see fit.
 * In fights, try to maintain Order of Pain, Blood Renewal, and Dark Fury (casting Dark Fury last).
 * AutoAttack after casting Dark Fury to cast "Go for the Eyes!" and "The Power is Yours!" for energy (+7, +7, +1 energy regen for 3 seconds)
 * Use Anthem of Weariness to spread weakness, and as a minor +2 energy boost

Variants

 * redistribute stats as you see fit, always have Leadership as a multiple of 2, and at least 8 motivation (although it might be viable to have 0 motivation, "TPiY" is used more for the fact that it's a 4 adrenaline shout with no cool down).
 * Anthem of Weariness and Blood Renewal can be switched for Anthem of Flames and Finale of Restoration. If you make this switch, remove all points from command and put them in motivation.

Barrageagon
[build prof=P/R name="Barrageagon" mar=12 comma=6 lea=11+3][Barrage]["Dodge This!"]["Go for the Eyes!"][Optional]["You Are All Weaklings!"][Anthem of Weariness][Optional][Aggressive Refrain][/build]

Introduction
Simple barrage set up. Spreads weakness, hits constant ~40s, very easy e-management.

Optional Skills

 * Natural Temper
 * Read The Wind
 * Anthem of Flames
 * Savage Shot
 * Ebon Battle Standard of Honor
 * Ebon Vanguard Sniper Support

Usage

 * Cast Aggressive Refrain on map load
 * Maintain AR with Anthem of Weariness
 * In fights, try to target groups with Barrage, use "GFtE" and "Dodge This!" as much as possible.
 * Use "You Are All Weaklings!" on groups of enemies, or on hard hitters.
 * During the fight, be sure to cast Anthem of Weariness whenever available to spread weakness

Cracked Contagion - No longer works
[build prof=P/N name="Cracked Contagion" death=5 spe=9 mot=9+1 lea=11+3][Chest Thumper][Wearying Spear][Anthem of Flame]["Go for the Eyes!"][Purifying Finale][Finale of Restoration][Contagion][Aggressive Refrain][/build]

Introduction
This is a variation of a build I saw on PvXWiki a while ago, but I can't find it now. This build takes advantage of the Aggressive Refrain nerf to spread Cracked Armor and Weakness to all foes in the area, in addition to being able to deep wound.

Equipment

 * 33% longer weakness spear

Usage

 * Cast Aggressive Refrain on map load, maintain with Anthem of Flame
 * In battle, maintain Contagion, Purifying Finale, and Finale of Restoration. Use anthem of flame, build up the adrenaline for Wearying Spear, get close to the enemy, use Wearying Spear to spread weakness. Wearying Spear should activate Anthem of Flame which will burn your target and refresh Aggressive Refrain. AR refreshing will spread Cracked Armor to all nearby foes. Use Chest Thumper to inflict a deep wound on your target. Wash, rinse, and repeat.
 * Use "GFtE!" for e-management, -1 condition, and +55 hp.
 * Your Finales should counteract Cracked Armor and the sacrificed health. Unfortunately, you will not be able to cure weakness through Purifying Finale (Activating Purifying Finale will also activate the Cracked Armor from AR which will then be cured by PF).

Variants

 * Finale of Restoration can be switched out for a skill of your choice if you feel your other healers can handle the constant sacrificing. (see Notes)

PVP Spear Chucker
[build prof=P/* spe=11+1+2 comma=8+1 lea=10][Soldier's Fury][Vicious Attack]["Go for the Eyes!"]["Can't Touch This!"]+[Blazing Spear][Barbed Spear][Maiming Spear][Optional][/build]

Introduction
A simple spear chucker for FA/RA/Most PVP.

Optional Skills

 * [[Fragility@6] - /me and 6 Illusion. Open your attack sequence with this. Recast if necessary.
 * [[Weaken Armor@6] - /n 6 Curses. Cast this either right before Barbed Spear, or right before Maiming Spear. It's generally a good idea to keep bleeding up as the cover condition.
 * [[Verata's Aura@6] or [[Verata's Gaze@6] /n 6 death. Fun for messing with MM if they start to bug you
 * [[Resurrection Signet] or any other res of choice

Variants
Replace Blazing Spear or Barbed Spear and Maiming Spear with any of these. Try to avoid switching out Vicious Attack and "GFtE!" since GFTE is your only real form of e-management.
 * [[Holy Spear] For anti minions
 * [[Spear of Redemption] For an easy to spam decent spear attack and blind removal
 * [[Chest Thumper] if running Weaken Armor
 * [[Wearying Spear] + [[Plague Touch@4] or any other form of condition removal
 * [[Anthem of Weariness] If you want to spread weakness

Equipment

 * 15^50, 20/20 Spear of Fortitude, Courage of the Forgotten works fine
 * A High Energy set
 * Full Centurions Armor of Vitae/Vigor

Usage

 * Before entering a fight cast Soldier's Fury and "Can't Touch This!"
 * Recast "Can't Touch This!" and Soldier's Fury whenever their effects wear off.
 * Use Barbed Spear -> Maiming Spear -> Vicious Attack AND "GFTE!".
 * Use Blazing Spear whenever possible
 * Try to save "GFtE!" for Vicious Attack for a high damage and Deep Wound.
 * If you're out of energy and need to recast Soldier's Fury and "CTT!", switch to your high energy set and let yourself go into negative energy. You won't be completely useless with your adrenaline skills while your energy recharges.
