Ok so I am making the best scythe available, I already crafted a max damage scythe with a place for an insignia.

Now I was wondering what is the best insignia , grip and snathe?

15^50 , +30hp , Enchants last 20% longer.

For a derv. Or swap 15^50 for 15^(enchanted)

Is that possible, aren't +30 health and +20% enchant both suffixes?

As is always the case, it depends on the build. With dervishes being enchantment heavy then the +20% enchantment upgrade makes sense. For the prefix vampiric, zealous or elemental may be good.

For the mod, +5 energy may be desirable.

What may actually be best is 3 scythes with different attributes that you can switch between as needed.

Well i have a dervish which is lvl 20 and i must say i dont find the +20% enchant very usefull, because of how the dervish uses her enchants i almost never let the enchants last theyr full duration, i take them off to get theyr effect during battle then put them up again if needed.

I am also thinking of getting a new scyte i am using the icebreaker atm which is and ok scyte i like the damage im getting with it and everything i just think that im wasting the +20% enchant mod,what im gonna make is a +15% while enchanted/ health above 50% with a +30 hp mod the other mod i havent really thought about

Maybe a vampiric ( hitting mutliple targets all the time with vamp most rule ) seeing as if i was to use a vamp mod and getting the damage type changed by one of my enchants i do the damage type and still get the vamp bonus.

I would go with the +5 energy "I have the power" inscription if you can.

Zealous 1-1

+30 health

thats just personal preference, obviously the energy management works much better when fighting groups that are clustered (so you are hitting multiple targets). Otherwise scythe attacks are too slow to make the most of the zealous mod.

I would say zealous over vampiric with the dervish as you tend to use large amounts of energy although vampiric is an awesome mod too...
