Scythe Smiter PvE

The idea of course, is to combine mysticism energy gain with smiting skills to provide offensive pressure while dishing out decent DPS and being a decent tank.

The Build:

Mysticism: 9+2+1
Scythe: 9+2
Wind Prayers: 3+1
Smiting Prayers: 11
Protection Prayers: 6

Skills:
Mystic Sweep
Grenth's Grasp{E}
Reversal of Fortune
Reversal of Damage
Balthazar's Aura
Zealot's Fire
Watchful Intervention
RES

How to use:
1)Cast zealot's fire, watchful intervention and charge in.

2) Go up to a baddy and start spamming mystic sweep under grenth's grasp.

3) Cast Balthazar's Aura.

4)When you become targetted, start spamming RoF and RoD. These enchantments practically pay for themselves because of mysticism energy gain. In between RoF's, you can spam mystic sweep and because of its .75 cast time, it shouldn't affect RoF recylce rate.

So in total, you have 5 skills doing damage: BA, mystic sweep and RoF and RoD under zealots fire.
I haven't actually tried this build, but I don't see how it could possibly run into energy problems. Tell me what you guys think.

Also, obviously, you could turn this into a farming build by ditching scythe, and putting into earth prayers or something, i dunno.

This looks interesting

You might be losing aggro a lot with zealot's fire tho, but it does look like an interesting build.

The 9 in scythe makes me wince, perhaps just drop the entire scythe line and go enchantment stripping or something.

So let's see, you want to spread your attributes in 5 different,
use zealots fire and balthazar aura to make aggro go crazy,
use rof because you have so much divine favor and prot that it's really worth taking,
use your elite to snare enemies in PvE because pure DPS is noob in pve,
have only 11 in scythe mastery because who needs scythe criticals and its not really worth investing maybe 14 ~16 in scythe because they do so little dmg compared to smiting prayers.



Good build.

posting builds with guides without even testing em is ftw, eh

worst elite in the game=bad
5 energy enchantments=good
not enough mysticysm to use them=bad

And here I was thinking someone found a way to keep up Judge's insight and still woop arse. This thread is a disappointment.
