Recently I decided to just wing it and make a PVP build. But I wanted to try to make that didnt use any wind enchants and was just a

"Hey lets run at the enemy like a madman yelling LEEEEEOROY! build." (keep in mind my original charecter was a warrior so.....ya.)

So I did. Sadly though due to the fact I dont have EOTN I am not able to use any of the nice skills from EOTN (radiant scythe *drool*) So here it is a scythe spamming build that gives me some health as a bonus. Recapping on the build now I would've been better off with some AOL+conjure combo but I wanted to try sticking to only scythe mastery and mysticism.

[faithful intervention][heart of fury][mystic vigor][wounding strike][irresistible sweep][victorious sweep][reap impurities][lyssa's assault]

sidenote: Since I forgot how to add it and im to lazy to look it up, here are the stats.

Scythe mastery: 14
Mysticism:13

equip:
*Draconic scythe.

Armor:
*Windwalker Primeval hood of minor scythe mastery
*Survival Primeval robes of superior vigor
*Radiant Primeval vamprces of attunement.
*Radiant Primeval leggings of attunement
*Radiant Primeval shoes of Minor mysticism

for pvp you need conjure,Conjure->wounding strike->mystic sweep->whatever skill you like(eremites/victorious sweep are good options) is the perfect damage set up,just work around that and you should be fine,note that Heart of Fury is a really good skill,theres no real excuse not to have it.

as for the build, it's completely outclassed by other dervish builds. for pvp this means your build is worthless.

Btw, Survivors > Radiants.

rhamia is right, this is totally outclassed by other dervish builds, namely conjure/wounding

farmerfez · Nov 26, 2008, 12:07 AM // 00:07

lelz this build makes me chuckle

Drizzitdude · Nov 26, 2008, 12:17 AM // 00:17

Read, please. I even MENTIONED (3rd paragraph). I could've made a conjure build I just wanted to make a build that used ONLY used Mysticism and Scythe Mastery. I am not trying to sound rude here but PLEASE FREAKING READ. Also Please keep in mind this is also My PvE charecter, As for the radiant runes those were all there for the soul reason that the build needs a healthy supply of energy.

TheOrangeFalcon · Nov 26, 2008, 12:36 AM // 00:36

They did read, they just commented on the fact that other builds are superior to it. Just because you want to do something in pvp doesn't mean it is always a good choice. The build is usable, just needs to be tweaked, but will still be less effective as conjure/[Wounding Strike]

Get survivor on all your armor, or maybe even blessed. Reason being, if you need energy you just swap to a zealous scythe and hit with that. The extra health, or armor if you want, would be much more helpful.

Also, [Irresistible Sweep] should be swapped out [Mystic Sweep] or [Eremite's Attack] because losing an enchantment would hurt your build. I would also recommend changing [Reap Impurities] for one of those other 2 attacks as well because you should plenty of self healing through [Mystic Vigor] and [Victorious Sweep] and changing it would help energy issues for you.

Thanks for the advice orange. The only Reason I put irresistible Sweep in there is I got tired of all those dang defending move and irresistible deals with that quite well.

We did read. we don't care. conjure builds are still better.

PvE characters are inferior to PvP characters. (free weapon/armor creation)
make a PvP character if you are doing PvP

read: a bigger energy pool is not energy management.

[Wild Blow] would be a better skill then.

True, but to an extent. PvP on a PvE char is very do-able and not that hard. Pretty much if you beat a campaign you "should" have the equipment to do PvP with at least 1 or 2 builds. If you haven't beaten a campaign or you just suck at getting yourself decent equipment, then ya, a PvP char would be in order.

Should also say that this is a horrible way to play, ESPECIALLY in PvP, with some very very few exceptions.

best to stick to pve

the savage nornbear · Nov 26, 2008, 02:36 AM // 02:36

Five attacks is bad. No [[resurrection signet] is bad. Unless its AB, then no speed boost is bad.

True. Drop [Lyssa's Assault] for a res.

In AB use a speed boost or Lyssa's. No speed boost is OK in ABs because you can get Battle Cry.

I try hard to not make an AB that doesn't use [[dash].

Ya, if my second is free and I have a free slot, dash gets it. But if I can place a better skill, or make better use of a second, it's not that big a deal.

illidan009 · Nov 29, 2008, 02:20 AM // 02:20

Lol. Looks like you got WS. You win.

Honestly you should get eotn since you have so damn many radiant insigs...like you said Radiant Scythe *drool*

Sirius-NZ · Nov 30, 2008, 08:13 AM // 08:13

Most of my AB derv builds use pious haste, but if you're really enchant-heavy it may not be such a good idea.

Ma'ahes · Dec 07, 2008, 12:46 AM // 00:46

I've been running a build that runs in synch with two people using the paragon retreat for increased movement speed and health regen. While it is a bit slow, I've had more success surviving than with other builds:

Reapers
Victorious Sweep
Aura Slicer
Crippling Sweep
Shell Shock
Shield of Force
Aura of Sanctity
Conjure Lightning

with +3 scythe, +2 earth, +1 myst, +60HP.

It's been fun hitting consistently for 90 dmg, when I'm not spiking for over 120. Victorious for health, and my fav's SoF and AoS to keep those pesky sin's from jumping me...since the VoS nerf, I've found very few survival builds out there for dervs, and sin's often out-dmg me since they can block most of my attacks.

Still, and I know y'all will say this, it is a bit of a gimmick build, meant to work in nicely with a full guild team in AB. Though it is nice to swap out Shell Shock if a lightning ele is there, to toss in another attack.
