made it for RA but after playing it, seems like it would be good in pve too.

the basic idea is chaining escape and LR for constant blocking and alternating speed and attack boosts. which is a little awkward if someone runs when you activate LR you have no snare so try to find someone less mobile. keeping opponent poisoned and healing yourself while attacking, it's pretty good pressure/survivability.

counters: wild blow, blind, anti melee anything..

I've been havin fun with it so I thought I'd share it, sry if it's old news and been done before.

Well i'm all for unusual builds and its rather rare to see a R/D i just cant seem to wrap my mind around this build. Perhaps if you explained what you were aiming for or what kind of advantage's you see in using this mixture of professions the community can help further develop it, because atm i just don't understand your skill set.

Looks like a decent idea, but not convinced it'll work. It's nice that it manages large investments in Scythe and Expertise and still manages to have some healing.

@BohemianKeith: The premise is blocking stances with life restoring attacks; poison is there to ensure that Reap Impurity has a condition to trigger off of. The blocking will be handy vs most melee foes, while the self heals from attacks save you from needing to spread attribute points into another attribute line for a heal. Rending Touch can be handy to take off enchantments like critical defenses or Shield of Deflection (or others).

i use similiar build for RA, with some exceptions
( [skill]troll unguent[/skill] instead of [skill]rending touch[/skill] and
[skill]Wounding Strike[/skill] or [skill]Reaper's Sweep[/skill] instead [skill]Escape[/skill]
its true, that u are a bit more exposed that way, but it works quite well for me

I wish I could fit a deep wound in there without taking out escape. I tried with reapers sweep/wounding strike and using natural stride instead of escape but it just wasn't the same.

what I wouldn't give for a find their weakness!/go for the eye's! paragon to join my team.
