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] 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.
