Default Master of Scythe: An All Around Build

Ja Zz Y
D/W 20

Note: I don't use my secondary profession in this build, but you can tweak it to your likings.

12+3+1= 16 Scythe Mastery
11+1- 12 Mysticism
3+1= 4 Wind Prayers
5+1= 6 Earth Prayers

Description: Virtually the same function as a warrior, meaning an in-your-face approach to PvP. It relies on high criticals from scythe attacks, while pairing that with +dmg scythe attacks. Also offers some self-heal and survival.

Now, onto the gewd gewd shtoof.

===========================
Reaper's Sweep [E]- +42 dmg, 21s deep wound
Lyssa's Assault- +21 dmg, +13 energy gain
Victorious Sweep- +33 dmg, 83 health gain
Aura of Thorns- 6s cripple, 9s bleeding
Sunspear Rebirth Sig/Res Sig- self explanatory
Faithful Intervention- 126 hp heal
Vital Boon- +64 hp, 125 hp heal
Pious Restoration- +46 hp gain, 2 hex removal
===========================


Strategies for use:
1. Cast Faithful Intervention at the start of battle, it helps for when you are spiked.
2. When under heavy damage or heavy hexes, cast Vital Boon and quickly strip it with Pious Restoration.
3. Run to your enemies for 'nearby' AoE range. Cast Aura of Thorns for cripple, and quickly strip it with Pious Restoration to inflict instantaneous bleeding.
4. If you need to cover your deep wound, use strategy #3.
5. Always maintain Faithful Intervention when you can! It is a prerequisite for some skills in this build.
6. Spam Spam Spam those damage attacks! Spam Lyssa's Assault for good energy flow and Victorious Sweep to get 100+ strikes. I usually save Reaper's Sweep for hp<50 for deep wound, but its preference.



Free/Interchangeable Slots:
-Victorious Sweep is not essential for this build, maybe using a move from your secondary (Wild Blow, Plague Touch) would suit well. I chose it for damage capability, and really saw nothing else.



Well, this is my build. I love criticism and any scrutinizing claims. Anything that could make my build better. But please, leave out any yo momma jokes. Or I might have to bust some heads
Thanks!

I ninja'ed yo momma! :-P

I like the consistent damage and how you're thinking of your e- management. You sound like you're talking about a PvP battle for this, so I'm going to assume that by casting Faithful at the start of the battle, you mean when you're in the gates. Otherwise, it can be maintained the entire map in PvE >.> So that's probably not necessary.

What worries me is that your self heals might start to wear down, and you won't be able to bring it back up fast enough with pious spamming, especially if you do it one-after-the-other multiple times to get there while still taking hits. Hex removal wouldn't work if you were below 1/2 hp though, because you need 2 enchantments active to fry them. You might as well cast Aura of Thorns just as a safeguard if you need to kite away and nurse your wounds for a second, just to get the maximum effects of Pious.

But, I did only wake up 5 minutes ago, find that nobody was home, and sit down, so I may be delirious. Those are my thoughts, anyway.

Thanks Sidra, you brought up some good points. It does get a little hairy when my hp is below 50%, but i guess all builds can't be perfect. I don't know what other type of healing would work more effectively. If anyone knows, please tell me! I'm on the quest to create the unstoppable dervish!!


@ Spirit of Azrael: sorry for my noobiness -.- I assumed the godliness of Sunspear Rebirth Sig would pwn pvp. Oh well, I edited it for you.
