<pvxbig> [Victorious Sweep][Wearying Strike][Mystic Sweep][Wild Blow][Featherfoot Grace][Harrier's Grasp][Avatar of Melandru][Resurrection Signet] </pvxbig>
Equipment
- Radiant's insignia is required to maintain your energy level.
- A Scythe with "Guided by Fate" or "Strength and Honor" inscriptions.
- If you want an even larger energy pool, look for the "I Have the Power" insignia.
- Runes of Major Mysticism, Superior Vigor, Minor Wind Prayers, Major Scythe Mastery.
Usage
- Keep Avatar of Melandru active as much as possible, and as energy allows for.
- Victorious Sweep, Wearying Strike, and Mystic Sweep are your primary attack skills.
- Follow up Wearying Strike with Mystic Sweep for a fast Deep Wound spike.
- Use Wild Blow to remove stances.
- Featherfoot Grace should be used as a speed boost. Note the reduced duration for Conditions can be helpful when not under the effects of Avatar of Melandru.
- Maintain Harrier's Grasp for chasing down kiting foes.
- Resurrection Signet is to be used on fallen party members.
Counters
- This build has no means of removing hexes and is vunderable to the same types of hexes as most melee oriented builds such as Spiteful Spirit and Empathy.
- Heavy Energy denial can be troublesome, especially if trying to activate Avatar of Melandru.
Variants
- Instead of Featherfoot Grace, consider Pious Haste, Enchanted Haste, Lyssa's Haste, or Harrier's Haste.
- Harrier's Grasp can be replaced with other anti-kiting skills.
- If under high energy constraints, such as not having an enchantment caster in your party, consider replacing an attack with an enchantment such as Guiding Hands, Intimidating Aura, or Zealous Renewal.
