Issue

The paragon has problems that limit it's ability is be flexible in groups of different professions. There are problems with leadership that allow paragons to basically have unlimited energy when spamming adrenaline shouts and chants. Shouts, chants, and echoes are irremovable once activated and are difficult to stop once started. Motivation and Command are on the weak side making it so that builds consisting of some support and some damage are much more useful then doing all support or all damage. Some builds that do this, like "Save Yourselves!" paragons and Partygons lead to imbalance or nerfs to shouts and chants, including warrior shouts. It would be nice to have builds that simply heal, buff, damage, or even do a combination or those without being imbalanced or underpowered and result in more good builds.

Suggestion

Change the functions of Leadership, chants, echoes, anti shout/chant skills, and possibly change armor. (See Discussion) Please try reading all of the suggestions before discussing (Its kind of long, I know...)
