You don't need Heart of Holy Flame if you're taking Aura of Holy Might.

Not really as when you think about it Heart will allow you to deal holy damage with attacks while Aura helps boost the amount of damage a secondary Derv deals with a scythe. Plus both skills deal damage to nearby foes and Aura deals holy damage twice, once when activated and once when it ends. So really having both skills is pretty beneficial, especially to a secondary derv.

He knows it's for holy damage, which is why he said not to bring it. Aura makes your scythe attacks deal holy damage, even though it doesn't say it does.

[Barrage][Distracting Shot][Savage Shot][Splinter Weapon][Throw Dirt][Favorable Winds]["I Am The Strongest!"][Flesh of My Flesh]

Provided you are using tank n' spank... if you aren't there are probably much better options. Remember that it may not be a good idea to use FW when there are many enemy ranger foes in the area.

[death pact signet]>[flesh of my flesh] IMO.

Don't think [throw dirt] is really necessary either.

Very good for killing single foes very quickly if you're not running a tank/nuke team. Used 2 of these to get an easy NM clear with a friend & heroes

I run a BHA epidemic ranger to take down the Monks and Eles which can be a little bit tricky:

[build prof=R/Me Name="BHA Ranger" box Expertise=12+1+1 Wild=9+1 Mark=9+1][Broad Head Arrow][Distracting Shot][Sloth Hunter's Shot][Epidemic][Apply Poison][Natural Stride][Ebon Battle Standard Of Honor][Sunspear Rebirth Signet][/build]

I usually run with a couple of paras and a signet mes, so the standard really pumps up the damage from the midline.
