Resurrection Signet

Equipment

• Cruel Scythe of Enchanting with "Guided by Fate" Inscription
• Sundering Scythe of Enchanting with "Guided by Fate" Inscription
• Sundering Scythe of Enchanting with "Strength and Honor" Inscription
• Full Radiant armor
• Superior Vigor Rune
• Attunement Rune

Usage

• Select a target, preferably a squishy one.
• Cast the three enchantments as you approach your target, beginning with Mystic Regeneration.
• Use Crippling Sweep to prevent kiting.
• Begin attacking with Wounding Strike, followed by Mystic Sweep.
• Continue spamming Mystic Sweep, reapplying conditions as necessary.
• Alternatively, attack with Wounding Strike when not enchanted and your target has a good amount of health, then once they drop below 50%, use it to inflict Deep Wound right before Mystic Sweep for a bigger spike.

Counters

• Enchantment removal
• Anti-melee Hexes such as Spirit of Failure
• Energy denial
• Dazed

Variants

• Resurrection Signet should be replaced with another, non-resurrection skill for Alliance Battles. Some suggestions:
  • Pious Assault, for more spiking ability and a controlled way to end Enchantments.
  • A low-cost Hex removal skill, such as Remove Hex.
  • Mystic Vigor, for additional healing and damage.
  • Eremite's Attack, also a quick scythe attack for spiking
• Replace Wounding Strike with Reaper's Sweep for more raw damage at the expense of condition versatility.
• Conviction can be used to boost defense.

Notes

• Remember that Mending Touch can be used to remove conditions from allies when necessary.
• Also remember that Mystic Sweep activates faster than normal scythe attacks, so it can be used quickly after Wounding Strike for about 80 damage on average, plus Deep Wound, against 60-armor targets.
