User:Flechette/Critical Scythe Assassin

A kick-ass build I made when the luxons really, really got me angry. Does a stupendous amount of damage to caster (i.e 3-4 hits) and can kill warriors and other classes relatively fast as well. It combines a stupidly high critical rate with the high max damage of scythes to wipe out most targets.

Equipment

 * Full Radiant armor, Vitae runes in all other available slots
 * A Elemental mod scythe of Fortitude with the inscription "Dance with Death"

Usage
Considering how little in cost and longevity of the "way" spells, try to keep them up at all times. When near an enemy, activate WotA and when really close (as about half the aggro bubble is good, don't bother if they run) activate Critical Defenses. Spam the attacks as soon as they recharge, Radiant always first to get the most out of it.

Counters

 * Standard Melee Hate
 * Snares
 * Stances - yes, even running stances are a pain unless you substitute a attack skill(the rest are crucial for your survival) for something like Dash or Pious Haste.
 * Nerfs (lol)

Variants

 * Mystic Sweep - higher chance of max damage, eremite's relies on being luxon-mobbed.
 * Dash or Pious Haste - for above reasons
 * Crippling Sweep - replace Eremite's for taking down those cursed runners (as in literally people who move away from you, not a drok runner-runner)
