So they don't scatter (except for that one mindblade that sometimes run when you ball em) from sand shards aoe? That is good to know thanks for sharing.

Looks very interesting, will test it out later.

EDIT: Having a lot of issues:

-Amount of Grasping
It seems you can only get about 1-2 groups at one time but you must recast Shroud while fighting them. However, if Shroud gets interrupted, your ****ed.

-No good running skill.
Running to plains is quite difficult with only dash. I had to use a cupcake to get there.

-Scatter
When arriving at Plains you have to kill the dream riders. However, energy management gets difficult and they run from your sandstorm. Also if you aggro a skeleton while stuck, your ****ed.

So far, I did not get past the dream riders. However killing Mindblades takes forever to do and you have to pick a good spot for them not to scatter. Often times, there will be a skeleton where the good spot is.

Please help me. BTW I have 12+1+3 SA with 401 HP and 61 energy. Thanks!

Sometimes they break agro, but if you find a good spot they dont scatter.

Exactly. You could use the wall trick or just simply trap them in a corner. Very easy for them.

Wait... why do you need +3 to SA? if you use paradox with it, you can maintain it at 12.

5 (damage difference) * 10 (for each hit of sand shards) * 3 (for the number of sand shards it takes to kill a group) * X (the number of foes 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, + the number of wailing lords/banished dream riders in aoe range) = 150 * X damage. Also add in the 5*3 damage every time you swing your scythe. Makes a pretty huge difference.

Build works like a charm, wish there was a way to kill skeletons of dhuum solo with this tho ><.

Wow. From the video this looks even faster than the R/A build. I need to try this. However, if it were me, I would take out 1 from scythe mastery and put it into earth prayers to get the full 26 damage.
