[wounding [email protected]][malicious [email protected]][mystic [email protected]][way of the [email protected]][critical [email protected]][critical agility][aura of holy might][asuran scan]

is better. (Count Mystic Sweep as the 'optional'. I'd suggest [dash]. Rezzing is for b*tch Heroes.)

- packs Deep Wound
- its attributes aren't split 3-way (you've either specced off Crit or Scythe for Earth... weak)
- +damage > crit damage (though this has more critz, see above point)
- ally-inflicted conditions don't crap over your build

SUP ANIKI! Moebius Blossom > Scythesin. But whatever floats your boat.

Bobby's build more or less. I usually don't use crit eye because I don't ever have a shortage of criticals or energy without it and it opens up a slot for utility or another attack. If I am facing something with hex removal, I'll drop scan for [by ural's hammer] or [I am the strongest].

VOS only works well if there isnt any conditions in the area, its pretty hard not using conditions when conditions could sometimes determine the outcome of your battle. some skills which monsters use might cause some self inflicted conditions and that would render VOS useless, thus VOS might not be the best choice for the elite of a Crit Scythe build

Why vos? o_O I mean its useless because you cant effectively perform in PvE without having some kind of condition present in your party.

@pingu, for a scythe, its better to use a sundering mod instead of a vampiric mod because a scythe has a high attack range whereas if you were to choose a dagger with only a 7-17 attack ranger, its better to use vampiric.

you cant use vos in PvE Properly .. its too hard >.>

well if you want a constant a lil higher dps, get vamp. if you want higher spikes which could lead to higher dps than vamp, get sundering.

Vamp
- 5 life steal each hit. Set value.
Sundering
- 20% chance of 20% AP, which is quite a lot for a Scythe.
Can be buffed by percentile damage boosts such as [asuran scan],[aura of holy might]... even [vow of strength] if you must.

I already said I haven't done the math. But sundering scythecrits are damn funny.

So? If you were going for max efficiency you'd not be running Scythesin to begin with

Sundering wins once you throw in all those boosts.... barely.
