That sucks... Im playing Faction.
That skill is Night Fall ><

Lichtenberg · Feb 21, 2010, 05:15 AM // 05:15

maybe you have a r9 scythe and they are putting weakness on you?
weakness drops your scythe mastery to 8.

also customize your weapon if you haven't.

Covah · Feb 21, 2010, 05:33 AM // 05:33

put 12 in scythe and use scythe skills. Post your build.

If you are using an A/D, you obviously have Nightfall. If you are not using skills from Scythe Mastery, I'm not sure what you are using to attack with. In Factions, there are no undead. I think you are confused with what you are doing and where you are doing it. Few things to consider when looking at damage.

Damage is based on armor level, character level, target level, weapon requirement, attribute investment, skill use, and possibly other factors depending on what is happening. In short, a lot of stuff factors into how much damage you do. At level 17, if you are fighting level 20+ monsters, you won't do as much damage as you expect. Warriors will take less damage than Necros, etc.

If you are fighting undead, as noted Holy Damage is an extremely effective tool. That skill mentioned (Heart of Holy Flame) is one of the easiest ways to supply Holy Damage for a Dervish. In fact, just by switching to Dervish as your secondary, the skill is given to you, so you should already have it available.

From the picture, I see a significant problem. Your weapon requires 11 Scythe Mastery, so you are not meeting the weapon requirement. And you have very little options for dealing damage with that build.

Lichtenberg · Feb 21, 2010, 05:41 AM // 05:41

r11 scythe, r9 in scythe mastery thats why, you dont meed the requirement.

Divine Ashes · Feb 21, 2010, 05:44 AM // 05:44

yeah pump two more points into that scythe mastery or you only do half the damage you normally would (I think) since you don't meet the requirement on your weapon.

MagmaRed · Feb 21, 2010, 05:54 AM // 05:54

Ok, don't want to sound harsh, but you have a lot of work to do to get that thing corrected. Your Scythe is not max damage, and has a high requirement. Should look for something that is req 9 or 10 if you can, and does 9-41 damage. Then, the build should be changed, but that may require you to obtain some skills. Heart of Holy Flame is based on Mysticism, which is a Dervish attribute only. Since you can't add points to it, it is only useful when facing undead, and there are no undead in Factions. And you have skills from Scythe Mastery (good), Earth Prayers (not needed for a critical scythe build), Wind Prayers (not needed for a critical scythe build), and Shadow Arts. Shadow Arts may supply some skills that would help, but it really isn't needed. You should be able to get by with Critical Strikes, Scythe Mastery, and maybe a 3rd is you want, but not likely. With running high Critical Strikes and Scythe Mastery, you won't have much left to put into any other attribute (and you have 3 more in use).

I'd move to the Assassin section of the Campfire and ask for some help on modifiying that build.

Outo Oli Apc · Feb 21, 2010, 08:15 AM // 08:15

You could also try to use a max damage scythe.

LazyLink · Feb 21, 2010, 08:30 AM // 08:30

Also, get a better inscription, an inscription is the thing that says "+19% damage when below 50% health". The best inscription is generally "+15% damage when health is above 50% health"

But the main thing is scythe requirement needs to be 11 for that scythe.

Archress Shayleigh · Feb 21, 2010, 01:04 PM // 13:04

R11 Scythe, you do not meet the req. The scythe isn't max. The mods aren't good. But mainly the problem is you do not meet the REQ of the scythe.

Quaker · Feb 21, 2010, 03:48 PM // 15:48

You could also try using freakin' daggers!

Most people I've seen using a Scythe on an assassin are using a zealous scythe for the energy gain. And even then, that's just for certain perma type builds where you will have a lot of agro on you.

But, of course, it's your game and you can do whatever you want.

P.s - whatever weapon you use, you should at least buy a max damage, req 9 from either a weapons crafter or another player.

ILoveMyVietGirl · Feb 21, 2010, 07:52 PM // 19:52
