My main is my warrior, tho got me gwamm and filled my hom (50/50) - he really did me great, and i LOVE running 100b paired with mop/splinter hero.

But its time for a little change, so why not give VoS a try

- On the paper VoS seems like a nice alternative, and might actually be move effective due to scythes natural 3-foe-hit mechanics.

- Do you find the strippabillity of VoS a problem in PvE?
- Would you run 14 scythe / 13 earth or the other way around?
- Which ench do you use to fuel Eremite's Attack? (I know alot use Sand Shards, but Eremite removes Sand Shards before i gets to deal damage, so spending 10e on something that doesnt help you at all seems screwed)

Not really..it has a fast enough recharge and you'll have plenty of cover enchants

no.. the recharge is fast.. and damage output is high enough that its never a problem

AoE Cracked Armor right before dmg just seems priceless tbh

No reason not to run Staggering Force really. After mysticism its energy cost is only going to be 3 more than a 5e spell, and if you ever happen to run low a zealous scythe will regain energy mad fast (up to 3e with normal swings and Eremite's is completely uncapped). Cracked armor is +41% damage to your base weapon and to Sand Shards/Vow of Strength, no reason not to abuse it.

I go 16 Earth/12 Scythe/7 Myst myself. Points over 12 in the weapon do very little for the weapon, might as well put them into Myst for a longer Heart of Fury duration. Sup runes are fine in PvE, have a monk cast prot spirit and your health doesn't matter anymore.
