Why are so many ppl trying to change the elite...Lyssa is awesome and fun. Add the factions skill(aura of holy might), mass scythe atks like farmer's scythe, RADIANT SCYTHE, and Lyssa's Assault...use attacker's insight if e management is required. If you have it Air of Superiority may be needed as those scythe skills have long recharge(12seconds?)

Radiant Scythe is an attack you can only use once per battle as your opening attack. If you have enough energy to make it worthwhile over something else at any other time during the battle, then you're doing something wrong.

I suppose Radiant Scythe could be used as an opening attack since it has a nice damage boost if you're energy pool is up there but I would rather take a fast activating attack skill like mystic sweep and get its bonus for damage along with AoL's when the enemy uses an attack skill. Assume for a moment you are running 2 enchantments Aura of Holy Might and Heart of Fury. That's +20 for mystic sweep at 14 scythe mastery...then the foe is also using a skill that's another +44 damage at 13 mysticism. In total you have +64 damage. You may be able to get lucky and catch a slow activating skill with Radiant and get a slightly better damage boost but I find the fast activating skills more reliable and then can be used whatever lvl your energy is at...except zero of course heh.

^ Thank you, you're pretty much explaining my point. Radiant is a skill that looks like it would be good, and then you see that if you have the energy to make it work at any other point in battle, you're either not using other attacks or not setting up your important enchants like [Heart of Fury] or [Aura of Holy Might]. AKA failing.

it removes an enchantment. which isnt usually a good thing, you have to have an enchantment on your bar you want to remove or else you will be removing AOHM or some prot, and that would be bad.

Would be good to remove eternal aura I suppose. But heart of fury seems like a better choice.

No Eternal Aura is what makes an Avatar build weaker.

I think what he means is have [Pious Fury] strip [Eternal Aura] for the recharge.

At least, I hope that's what he means.

[Pious Fury] isn't a very good alternative to [heart of fury] eventually you're going to strip an important enchant like Aura of Holy Might and if you avoid doing that you're probably going to spend most of your time without IAS. The only use I see for this skill is in a build with no enchantments...even then you'd probably end up stripping a monk prot at a critical time and getting ganked.

I'm not saying Pious Fury is good. I don't even consider it an option. I'm just explaining mainly to Tyla - I think he assumed what was meant above was take Pious Fury on your bar instead of Eternal Aura - I took it as use Pious Fury to strip Eternal Aura.

VV Haha, makes sense.

constant IAS = Drunken Master ...read the fine print while drunk = 33% attack/movement...= constant I can see the pro-cons on which this may be problem 60sec recharge...through max dwarf rep = 33 dps/movement+90 sec duration giving you a spare 30sec.. cool down or w/e...unlike Heart of Fury = 30sec charge less charge time, but there is quiet little enchantment removal+stance removal in pve ...yes it sets them on fire for few seconds...I'd rather constant dps...than having to renew HoS ...with Eternal Aura...imo...why always avatars ...Wounding Strike <3
AoB = pve why only +40ac+holy dmg(only effect for undead I guess?)+33% movement...hmm +40ac in PvE = not really need ...through lyssa /agree decent pve avatar as well max out kurz for AoM = ^^
