So I have been running W/D for a bit now, right. I read a whole lot about how the enraged build just does the most damage you can do as a warrior ( ). I gave it a try and I think I have to disagree.

Radiant Scythe
Power Attack
Victorious Sweep
Counterattack
Farmer's Scythe
Body Blow
"I Am The Strongest"
Warrior's Endurance {E}

12 scythe and 16 str

This build does not have an IAS, I know, which means that a lot of peepz are gonna say it equals the suck. It is also not the greatest for doing anything at all without a monk Give it a shot, though, if you are looking for great damage.

I dunno if this has been posted or not in the past but I'm loving it for doing damage while vanquishing.

Mystic Sweep, Protector's ect...
Simulated IAS.

And what do you mean by "Enraged"? Enraged Smash (Bad.) or D-Slash?

P.S -- Warrior, not tank.

While the single hit damage of a scythe always looks great, keep in mind that with an IAS the D-Slasher will hit 3 times per your one dealing more damage than you.

Also with the low end of the scythes damage landing even 50% of the time your looking at much lower overal damage vs Sword.

However hitting multiple foes is nice and can be very effective with a Rit casting [splinter weapon] on you constantly.

Sorry I didn't get back to this for so long. Anyways, I've used a d-slash build a whole bunch. I tested them against eachother on some dummies and I gotta give it to the scythe on this one. Trust me, with my sword collection I love running swords, but this is just higher output.

Test it.

And yeah, that enraged thing is a joke compared to both.

Too many attack skills, not enough IAS.

Radiant Scythe is stupid IMO, as is Farmer's Scythe.



If you want to use a Scythe... I'd suggest using a W/D Steady Stance Scytheman.

Judging on damage alone, as you are, then Godmode builds aren't going to win, Triple Chop/Splinter Weapon Axe builds will do much better. However, once you add in utility such as being able to keep a foe knocked down indefinately and maintaing +100AL on all allies, Godmode becomes useful for more than its damage.
