this is what i made out:
mysticism 12+1+3
hammer mastery 12
crude swing
whirlwind attack
optional attack
heart of fury
i am the strongest
eternal aura
avatar of lyssa {e}
optional utility

yea it works, but..a normal lyssa build is more effective

Dreamwar · Jan 28, 2008, 05:13 PM // 17:13

Should definitely put in more hammer attack skills. Seems nice, tho!

blockkiller · Jan 28, 2008, 05:52 PM // 17:52

any advice for more hammer attacks, because i don't know what the best attacks are, they only do damage when the target has some sort of condition, so i need 2 attacks, 1 for the condition, 1 for the damage

lyssa + hammer = anti-synergy

hammers are slow. if you want a cool weapon to use with lyssa try daggers.

Sir Pandra Pierva · Jan 28, 2008, 07:50 PM // 19:50

Why would you use a ava hammer derv just go normal if you wanna look cool

I run a devastating hammer dervish for kicks sometimes and becuase when dervish wield a hammer it just looks cool cause its really improbable ways a swinging it.

hammers do more damage and can hit adjectment foes with the skills i use so loads of damage to multiple targets + i use IAS

your not utilizing your avatar. its still anti-synergy.

Arkantos · Jan 30, 2008, 01:24 AM // 01:24

So basically instead of taking a scythe that can hit up to 3 foes, can use 1/4 seconds attacks and spec 13+ in, you're using a hammer? I don't understand why.

aTT!kus · Jan 30, 2008, 01:47 AM // 01:47

bad idea. if you want a hammer use a warrior or ranger

Scythes do more base damage than hammers, and with Aura of Holy Might, Scythes own every other weapon for damage.

Scythes hit up to 3 adjacent foes without using skills.

Your point?

not by much damage wise.. only by like .3 damage. also, warriors can keep up IAS's perma style, while dervs cant for the most part on their own. Aura helps seal the deal, and dont think i'm advocating the OPs post, he needs to stick to scythes or daggers for lyssa.

MsMassacre · Jan 30, 2008, 03:16 AM // 03:16

I used to use daggers with lyssa but have had a change of heart for four reasons;

1. Using a scythe allows me to use conjure frost for MORE extra damage
2. Aura of holy might.
3. Eremite's and mystic. Yes, daggers attack faster, but the two fast activating scythe attacks do a much better job allowing you to nail your window of opportunity than the faster attack rate of a dagger or a warrior weapon with IAS. What's better synergy with lyssa's than fast hits? On-demand hits!

4. Radiant scythe. It has wonderful synergy with lyssa's energy bonus, practically garunteeing +50 damage every time. And the best part is that it gives you a really powerful attack even if your foes are so inconsiderate as to not activate skills.

[skill]Heart of Fury[/skill]
Random Dagger chain

I hit the window with that just fine

Though a scythe is more fun simply for the fact that if you hit 3 people activating slow skills.......gg

AOHM = Holy Damage = no conjure

The Scythe give you AoE dmg each attack w/o using a skill. Hammer is meant for kd not AoE dmg! Beside the crit possible dmg from Scythe is higher than a hammer! And the Scythe can deal Deep Wound in a single attack while hammer is in needed of kd (which has high chance to miss / anti kd spells.)

I checked it, Aura of Holy Might does not make your attack become holy. Hence, conjure will work. Not like Judge's Insight!

Anomaly! Though not mentioned in the description, when used with a scythe this skill changes damage to Holy damage.

Read better.

I like how he posts the wiki link, but fails to read the whole page.
