This build's original contribution history can be found on its discussion page.
This build works with the high damage generated from a critical hit by a scythe and the fact a scythe can hit multiple targets. It gives the user a near total condition removal (except blind), plus a cheap damage and Deep Wound inflictor without its usual drawbacks and a constant heal.

Optional Slot[ | ]
- Critical Defenses - This is the recommended skill but it loses effectiveness if the enemies are too spread out.
- Mystic Regeneration - Take two point out of Scythe Mastery and put 8 points into Earth Prayers. This is the recommended replacement for Critical Defenses. It has a very powerful constant healing effect.
- Guiding Hands - Put 3 points into Wind Prayers if there are enemies that will block your attacks.
- Critical Eye - If there are no or few enemies that will block your attacks.
Variants[ | ]

Usage[ | ]
- Maintain non-attack skills as long as possible.
