Default PvP / Farming Build?

Is there such thing as a build that can PvP and Farm at the same time?

I was looking at this build since I like Scythes alot..Would you think this works for pvp and farming?

For Farming: Not, you don't have any skill that helps you to survive (unless you try to farm in low lvl NM)

For PvP: Not, you can't use PvE Skills.

PvP and Farming are completely different. For PvP you need to try to think ahead and predict your opponent's actions before it happens. Farming is a grind, since you ALWAYS know what's going to happen

Hold on a minute, I just checked the auction and realised that scythes are two hander big scythes..I was talking about the little hand scythes..Are those actually daggers?

And..I know theres no one build fits all, but there must be a build that allows the flexibility to do both pvp and farming.

For martial weapons, look at the attribute requirement next to a weapon's damage to identify the weapon type.

The objectives in PvP and farming are so completely dissimilar that it is highly unlikely an efficient build could be made to accomplish both.

Ok but can you use both build on a same character?

I come from a diablo 2 background where you either make a character for PvP or for PvM (PvE)

I think you can use mutliple build on the same character in gW right?

Pm me

Meh, 80% of the people playing pvp are pretty predictable.

In response to the above post, that build is using a PvE skill and flashing blades is a bit of a crap elite for pvp. I'm sure you could kill a wammo or fire nuker here and there with that though.

I looked through the builds and decided on the Death Blossom Farmer.

http://pvx.wikia.com/wiki/Build:A/D_...Blossom_Farmer


My questions are :

1- If I can't access the dervish profession from the get-go, what do I choose instead at the monestary? I thought about monk, but am unsure.

2- I really like Kamas, in the ''suggested equipment'' section, there are only daggers, is it possible to create the weapons they suggest with kamas or must they absolutely be daggers?

Thanks!

Just look on that page...For replicas they only suggest types of daggers but nothing that looks like kamas..does that mean its not possible? Or they just didn't add them to the list?

There you go. A full list with every weapon that is considered as a "dagger". As you can see, "Kamas" are in that list, so Kamas = Daggers.

If they had to add every type of dagger to "replicas" list, it will be a loooooooooong list.

It's just that they were very specific about certain types of daggers.

Oh, I see.

They did because those are daggers with the same attack type of Pywatt's Talons (Piercing) and base mod (15^enchanted). You can have those dagger mods in other type of dagger if you want.

tl;dr: Ignore the "replicas" list, take the dagger skin you want, and mod it.
