Ok maybe you guys can answer this.. what if i kill one by one that surrounding the Avatar God and trying that i know i'm gonna die a lot so my question is would the scythe drop rate effected by how many times i die?

No probably your best bet is to hit the avatar fortress and kill all the groups around the avatar. You have to pull very carefully. Once you have eliminated the patrols then you can flag your henchmen and heros until they grey out on the party window. At that point you can go in and kill the avatar. You have a better chance for the drop coming to you. Remember if you go in with henchmen and heros they get drops too. You might very well have had that scythe drop a couple of times but it wasn't reserved for you.

thanx for the reply.. but you think i can bring the avatar down all by my slef? i mean has anyone able to do that?

I did. The tricky part is keeping the avatar's enchants off them. If you can do that she isn't too bad. Avatar's aren't nearly as tough as people make them out to be. What level is your dervish?

I've gone back and farmed for the green scythes as well. I use my ebon dust aura build for it since most of the avatars use scythe attacks to great effect. If you can blind them it will help you immensely. If you don't have an ebon scythe yet then swap out the Aura of thorns in my build for Dust cloak. If you haven't unlocked Mystic Regen then I recommend doing it. It takes all of five minutes in the Zaishen challenge area of the battle isles. Just kill the Illusionary Weapon team until you get the 1000 faction. Then hit up the priest of balthazar and unlock your skill. Ebon Dust Aura is a really nice shutdown for about any melee enemy, including the avatars and since Lyssa can spike fairly nastily you'll want her blinded. Luckily she doesn't have much else going on for her, no healing like Dwayna or condition removal like Melandru.
