(15 Scythe Mastery, 9 Mysticism, 10 Earth Prayers, 8 Air Magic)

What I love about this build is it's damage, it's endurance and it's ability to take out an enemies main threats. I've been playing it for months and it's absolutly great.

I suppose I don't have much to say about this one, comment and criticize at your leisure.

To be honest it seems like a pretty mediocre build. Reason I personally don't like Vow of Strength builds is because you can't inflict Deep Wound as easily.

too much healing and an extreme lack of attack skills, vow generally sucks.

If you want cracked armour so muh then just run [[finish him], [[sundering weapon] or [[weaken armor].

[[shell shock] is best left on an air ele.

IMO a build that tries to optimize c-spacing can only be
1- extremely boring
2- bad

But trying to maximize c-space is about making a build that A) either has a crap ton of defense or B) crap ton of damage. I prefer to go for option B.

[aura of holy might]
[heart of fury]

Lose the defense, go all out offense. Healing and protting is for Monks. Or better then put utility in.

Agree w/ Phan...shock doesn't do anything, you don't have any type of KD followup so its useless. Add heart of fury or something. Take out conviction for one of those cheap EoTN skills. And I'm assuming you need a lightning scythe?
