Using Paragon's energy management and critical hit capabilites, the P/D Nightfall Hybrid Spiker allows you to deal critical hits with a scythe, one of the more deadly weapons in Guild Wars.

[edit] Attributes and Skills

Paragon / Dervish	Attribute Rank
Leadership	9 + 1 + 2
Command	9 + 2
Scythe Mastery	12

Reaper's Sweep

Victorious Sweep

Eremite's Attack

"Go for the Eyes!"

Anthem of Flame

Aggressive Refrain

Remedy Signet

Signet of Return

[edit] Equipment

• Any max armor, Vigor/Vitae Runes if possible, Centurion Insignias as Aggressive Refrain should always be active.
• Zealous Scythe for battles, have an energy set ready for emergency Aggressive Refrain.

[edit] Usage

• Activate Aggressive Refrain just before entering battle.
• After a few hits, activate "Go for the Eyes!", and immediately use Reaper's Sweep.
• If the hit was critical, the damage will be outrageous. Follow up with Eremite's Attack as to not give your enemy a chance to heal.
• When affected by weakness or blindness, use Remedy Signet.
• When running particularly low on health, use Victorious Sweep.

[edit] Counters

• Anti-shout skills.
• Energy denial.
• Unluckiness (80% chance to hit critical with Reaper's Sweep.)
• Kiting.

[edit] Variants

Suggested variant:

• Blazing Finale. Exchange for either signet, definitely helps add cumulative damage to all adjacent targets.
• Burning Refrain. Works similarly to how Blazing Finale works, except it can be recycled forever. This requires extra energy or else you won't be able to chain with Aggressive Refrain.

[edit] Notes

• I based this off of Build: P/W ParaThumper.
• Myself only having Guild Wars: Nightfall, I've noticed no one has come up with an excellent mix of Paragon and Dervish - this is my attempt to create a build using those classes.
