Put up the avatar, and go crazy with attack skills.

if you have EOTN you should try the build im using.

12+1 scythe
12+1+1 myst

Farmer's Scythe
Zealous Sweep
Radiant Scythe
Whirlwind Attack
Avatar of Dwayna
Eternal Aura
Pious Fury
rez/Meditation (human party / hh)

the new EOTN skills are amazing. you could also try dropping myst by 2 and raising wind prayers to 8 to use Natural Healing. but alot of times the hero monks will have prot spirit stuck on me. very effective, and Pious fury is active about the same percent of time as HoF, more because it removes eternal aura when you cast it.

I love the new scythe skills but I'm afraid radiant scythe gonna be nerfed. Like every skill worth having...

You can attack twice every "round" by queueing up the skills in that build after a regular attack. It also allows you to actively try to hit skills being activated, considering avatar.
