Notes & Concerns: I am posting this because it is a very rough build and needs to be refined. I would like it to be more general and less hateful against only meleers. Please help. Thanks.

Credit: Me, a small side note on GuildWiki for the idea, and all of you (in advance) for making this a better build.

To me it seems like you'd be better off with apply poison then poisoned heart. More poison for your energy. I also don't see the point in having tainted flesh? Go with avatar of melandru if your using wearying strike. Although personally I almost always bring wounding strike as my elite in pve.

besides the fact that its AOE... ok, yes, with a scythe the difference isnt huge, but id have to say that this build is quite nice.

The major problem I have with my build is that the pve world isn't made up solely of groups of melee mobs, which is really the only way it would shine. i just can't figure out how to make it better.
