User:Erathiel/Builds/Build:Rt/D Spirit Scythe

The Spirit Scythe utilises the hard hitting abilities of a scythe while boosting damage with Spirit's Strength as well as providing defensive abilities from the Earth Prayers line.

Attributes and Skills

 * Use Sight Beyond Sight if anticipating blindness-causing enemies, otherwise take Wielder's Remedy instead.

Equipment

 * Emissary's Armor for the extra defense.
 * A Zealous Scythe of Enchanting.

Usage

 * Cast Vital Weapon, Spirit's Strength, Wielder's Remedy, and Mystic Regeneration when going into battle.
 * Use Conviction to boost survivability.
 * Use Victorious Sweep and Mystic Sweep for damage.
 * Use Sight Beyond Sight or Wielder's Remedy as nessesary.

Counters

 * Heavy enchantment removal will lower your DPS, but you will still be doing a decent amount due to high Scythe Mastery.
 * Frequently reapplyed conditions such as blind from Ebon Dust Aura, if you don't have Sight Beyond Sight.
 * Standard anti-melee hexes.

Variants

 * Victorious Sweep can be replaced by Eremite's Attack for another fast activating attack skill.
 * Zealous Renewal can be used for energy management.
 * Twin Moon Sweep can replace an attack skill, but this requires a spammable enchantment such as Vital Boon.
