Optional

• For RA and TA, put a Resurrection Signet in your optional slot.
• For AB, put in either Crippling Sweep or Harrier's Grasp in your optional slot.

[edit] Equipment

• Radiant armor, clarity rune.
• 15% damage while enchanted Ebon Scythe with 20% enchantment modifier.

[edit] Usage

• Vital Boon is to be used in combination with Pious Restoration to heal yourself and remove hexes, or with Twin Moon Sweep to deal additional damage and to heal yourself. It will also act as a cover enchantment.
• Before engaging in combat, throw Ebon Dust Aura, and Harrier’s Grasp upon yourself. It is generally suggested you stay on and harass Assassins, Rangers, Dervishes, Warriors, and Paragons to keep them shut down.
• Lyssa’s Assault should be used every chance it comes up. It’s a free attack that’ll allow you to keep the blind from Ebon Dust Aura up at all times.
• To spike, be sure you have Vital Boon upon yourself. Once the target begins moving, activate Harrier’s Haste. Followed by Lyssa’s Assault, Twin Moon Sweep, and Chilling Victory.
• Use Harrier’s Haste along with Harrier’s Grasp to deal with kiters.

[edit] Counters

• Anti-Melee conditions.

[edit] Variants

• If hex removal isn’t an issue for you, you can remove Pious Restoration with Mystic Regeneration.
• Harrier’s Grasp may be switched out with Crippling Sweep. However, in the case of bringing Mystic Regeneration, you may wish to keep Harrier’s grasp.
• To bring along a Resurrection Signet, you may wish to remove Pious Restoration instead (using Twin Moon Sweep to remove it from yourself instead), and bring along an extra anti-kite skill.
