This build has been archived and is not updated by the GuildWiki community.

This build is only maintained for historical reference and may contain incorrect or outdated information.

Reason: Fallen out of use due to nerfs to Avatar of Grenth, Harrier's Grasp, and Wild Blow

A GvG build using Avatar of Grenth, Wild Blow, and quick-activation Scythe Attacks.

Attributes and Skills

Weapons:
- Weapon Set 1: Vampiric 15^50 Scythe of Fortitude (ex. Claw of the Forgotten or Terror Scythe)
- Weapon Set 2: Ebon 15^50 Scythe of Fortitude
Armor: Radiant Insignias, and the Best Vigor Rune possible.

Keep Avatar of Grenth up as much as possible.
Use Victorious Sweep as a heal.
Use Wild Blow to deal unavoidable damage and strip Stances.
Use Mystic Sweep and Eremite's Attack as follow-up attacks to the other attack skills, because of their short activation times.
Use Featherfoot Grace as a speed buff.

General melee counters (i.e. Blindness, Weakness, Cripple, Empathy, Spiteful Spirit, etc.)
Signet of Humility greatly lowers this build's effectiveness.

Drop Harrier's Grasp for Heart of Fury or Zealous Renewal.
Harrier's Haste is also frequently ran with this build.
Distracting Blow can be used as an interrupt.
Bull's Strike can be used as a conditional knockdown.
Protector's Strike can be used as a quick activation melee attack, even with no points invested in Strength.
A self-heal can be helpful, particularly in over-extensions. Options include Dwayna's Touch and Faithful Intervention.
For HA Song of Concentration is a good skill for altar capping.
Chilling Victory can be swapped in for Eremite's Attack.
Take Ritualist secondary for Sight Beyond Sight and Extend Enchantments.

This build could also work as a D/A. In that case, you would take Signet of Malice instead of Wild Blow, and Wearying Strike in place of one of the other Scythe attacks.
