Wilderness Survival	9+1+2
Scythe Mastery	12

Apply Poison

Reap Impurities

Victorious Sweep

Optional

Escape

Dryder's Defenses

Lightning Reflexes

Whirling Defense

• Optional slot can be filled with an additional attack skill such as Eremite's Attack or Troll Unguent for extra defense.
• Other good choices are Veil of Thorns or Aura of Thorns as they will ensure all enemies are always suffering from a condition. This is a must for this build as Reap Impurities is your main healing skill.

[edit] Equipment

• Radiant or Sentry armor
• Any Scythe will do the trick, best is Zealous, but if you cannot afford, take any max damage Scythe or Pre-Order one. Suli's Scythe is a good choice.

[edit] Usage

1. Put on Apply Poison.
2. Run in and aggro a mob.
3. Pull back a bit so they all bunch up infront of you.
4. Hit one of your stance , then swing your scythe once.
5. Upon the 1st hit, use Reap Impurities followed by Victorious Sweep.
6. When your stance ends, use another one.
7. When the attacks recharge, use them immediately.
8. Rinse and repeat.

[edit] Counters

Monsters using attacks that knock down, that can't be blocked or that knock down if blocked (such as Irresistible Blow), anti-melee hexes like Spiteful Spirit or Insidious Parasite, anti-melee conditions (Weakness, Blind and heavy degeneration).

[edit] Variants

For low-level monster farming, like Ettin or Totem Axe, use Reaper's Sweep and instead of Escape use Dodge/Zojun's Haste, so for more self-defense, put in Troll Unguent.

[edit] Notes

• This build originated from Arashi located at The Ranger's Beacon.
• This build is capable of farming many areas and can even solo Djinns, Ettins, Jade Knights, Vermin, possible Mountain Trolls and few other, depending on how good you are. Having better scythe is useful, too.
