Swap the weapon spells for [Heart of fury] and [Aura Of Holy Might]

12+1+1 Scythe, 12+1 Mysticism

(I would take AoM instead of AoL)

I would have a hero cast [splinter weapon] on me and put the attrib points from channeling magic to mysticism and scythe mastery instead.

Also, depending on the area you are vanquishing, you might want to bring [avatar of dwayna] or [avatar of melandru] instead of [avatar of lyssa].

I would also bring [victorious sweep] and [heart of fury]

Also, if you have Eotn, consider taking some PvE only skills, like [Great Dwarf Armor] or [Asuran scan]

thx both for the skill recommendations ^^

some of these skills i nvr seen before like heart of fury!

but is it possible to continue using weapon spell on myself? i dun like to count on heroes for that.. cause it depends on the senario and stuff.. and btw.. i play with my friends and their heroes dun have that skill ^^

Well, of course you can use splinter weapon on yourself, but I think it might be far less effective than done by a hero, besides, you have to put some well needed attribute points to channeling magic.

If your friend's heroes do not have splinter weapon, take one of yours. Olias or Master of Whispers as N/Rt can do the job perfectly.

As everyone has said try and drop the weapon spells off on a hero.

Since no one else has said anything about weapons in particular I'll have a go. Try and find a Zealous scythe if you aren't using one already. A 15^enchanted would be perfect since FI will(should) be up the majority of the time. The back end is really up to you, +30hp is probably the most common.

hmm in PvE [avatar of grenth (PvE)] is pretty nice, It steals health (the pve version, dont know how to put in pve so...) which is pro :P next to that, [heart of fury] is so gd you cant forget it, just check some skill trainers and many have it

EDIT:

If a skill has a PvE/PvP split, put [ skill name (PvE) ] w/o the spaces between brackets to get the PvE variant to show.

Did u play a derv?
Cause if u did play with that avatar u wont find it to be a waste. Its for good for PVE if u match it with right build of course.
Extra armor plus speed its always welcome... AoL is better for pvp then for pve
I usually use balthazar for pve and lyssa for pvp, but like i said before its just a question of playstyle and everyone has theirs

Quote: yes i did
Im not saying it doesnt happen but they mostly staff me or normal hit me. (maybe im lucky :P?)
I like lyssa alot and i use it for pvp but for pve balthazar just completes my build. I supose it all comes down to that. Each build will have more affinity with a certain skill.

Quote:
err.. actually i was using AoB ater using AoL cause my character kept dying.. AoB actually kept me alive a lot more and since avatars last longer i think its a good skill and not a waste.. but i wanna use AoL cause of more dmg.. If u want more damage (wich u dont actually need cause scyhte damage is already high) u can always use the kurzick/luxon derv skill. Its not mutch compared to lyssa in damage but for lyssa foes have to use skills wich in pve doesnt occur much.

I actually never liked Lyssa because if I get interrupted while recasting Lyssa, I get negative energy, and the quicker skill activation in HM makes it harder to pull off the bonus damage. I also don't know why anyone would use AoL over AoG since energy management isn't that hard and you get +18 (bonus: life steal) on every single swing.

I still use Wounding Strike since I ran Discord when I vanquished.

EDIT: I also think that Balthazar is a wasted slot. Holy damage? Already done with AoHM. Increase armor? Great Dwarf Armor or Conviction. IMS? Useless.
EDIT: I also think that Balthazar is a wasted slot. Holy damage? Already done with AoHM. Increase armor? Great Dwarf Armor or Conviction. IMS? Useless. 2 slots that u will use to make up to that
Im just saying in my build balthazar works great and kept me alive many times where there were certain wipe situations. U wont find speed useless if u have to run not to get wiped or to run cause of the survivor title or whatever. Still balthazar beats grenth. + 18 hp? i can get that more than that for every enchant i have and besides mystic regeneration works better than that, u also have victorius sweep, twin moon...etc. but if u want a healing avatar dwayna is better than grenth for sure
