Revision as of 07:33, 1 September 2015
The PvXwiki community finds this to be a good build. Through the PvX vetting system, it has reached an overall Rating in the range from 3.75 to < 4.75 and thus qualifies for the lower category of working builds: Good. This build has been designed for the following use: |
The Enduring Scythe Warrior abuses the scythe to quickly deal large packets of damage to multiple foes.
Attributes and Skills
12 + 1 + 1 Your attack skills gain 14% armor penetration. |
One optional skill should be a dervish enchantment; good options include:
- Grenth's Fingers Condition transfer and cold damage. Do not maintain it if using physical damage buffs.
- Conviction Condition removal.
- Aura of Thorns Cripple and bleeding.
- Rending Aura Cracked armor and can remove enchants on KD'd foes.
- Staggering Force Cracked armor and earth damage. Do not maintain it if using physical damage buffs.
Damage:
- Protector's Strike for an artificial IAS.
- Body Blow for free damage. If a teammate applies Cracked Armor then Wearying Strike and your flash enchantment can be replaced.
- Whirlwind Attack for a full adjacent AoE attack.
- "I Am The Strongest!" for additional damage.
Support:
- "Save Yourselves!" to keep your party mostly invincible for most of the time.
- Enraging Charge to charge "Save Yourselves!"
Control:
- Sneak Attack for inflicting blindness to all targets struck by scythe attack.
- Brawling Headbutt for spamming KDs.
- Club of a Thousand Bears for a KD on demand.
- "You Move Like a Dwarf!" to interrupt key skills.
- Distracting Blow / Distracting Strike to interrupt key skills.
- Bull's Strike hit three mobs with it at once and feel good about yourself.
Dealing with anti-melee:
- Asuran Scan to counter blocking, blind, and miss effects.
- Wild Blow to abuse criticals and remove stances such as Whirling Defense.
- "I Am Unstoppable!" to prevent cripple and knockdowns.
Variants
Replace Flail with:
- Burst of Aggression avoid relying on adrenaline skills. Not fully maintainable.
- Drunken Master for a combined IAS and IMS, alcohol is recommended.
- Frenzy if you can manage the drawback, lets you move faster than Flail while keeping a PvE-only slot free and allows adrenaline use.
Replace Wearying Strike with:
- Eremite's Attack for more AoE damage. Take Body Blow for Deep Wound, and consider raising Earth/Wind Prayers slightly so you can apply Cracked Armor for a decent duration via Rending Aura/Staggering Force.
Equipment
- Sentinel's or Survivor Insignias
- Furious/Zealous/Vampiric Scythes of Fortitude with 15^50 mods
Usage
- Maintain Warrior's Endurance
- Keep Flail up while you're attacking.
