User:Cutelethalpuppy/Builds/Lyssa's Rage

An attempt at using Balthazar's Rage to make a main team Avatar of Lyssa build with similar DPS and deep wounding capability as a Balthazar Derv but with better survivability and split options.

Attributes and Skills
Wind Variant- better DPS vs high armor targets, more cripple. Lower DPS vs low armor targets (assuming scythe mastery = 11). [build prof=D/Any Scythe=10+1 myst=10+1+1 windp=10+2 earthp=5+1][Grenth's Aura][Fleeting Stability][Shield of Force][Harrier's Grasp][Avatar of Lyssa][Balthazar's Rage][Wearying Strike][Heart of Fury (PvP)][/build]

Optionals

 * Replace Shield of Force with Mirage Cloak
 * Scythe Mastery 10+2, Wind Prayers 10+1 for more physical damage and crits but 50% less cripple and 1 HP less lifesteal.

Earth Prayers Variant
Variant that has higher Earth Prayers. Higher DPS vs low armor targets. [build prof=D/Any Scythe=10+2 myst=10+1+1 windp=7+1 earthp=9+1][Mystic Vigor][Fleeting Stability][Mirage Cloak][Harrier's Grasp][Avatar of Lyssa][Balthazar's Rage][Wearying Strike][Heart of Fury (PvP)][/build]

Optionals

 * Replace Mirage Cloak with Shield of Force
 * Replace Mystic Vigor with Grenth's Aura - to reduce max damage to below 50 to not trigger spirit bond.
 * Anti-Melee: Keep Mirage Cloak and replace Mystic Vigor with Shield of Force.
 * Higher offence: Replace self heal skill with Aura Slicer or Irresistible Sweep or Rending Sweep.

Equipment

 * Sup Vigor
 * Windwalker Insignia or Blessed.
 * Usual shield sets.
 * Usual weap sets e.g. vampiric scythe, zealous scythe (normally not necessary), crippling spear, crippling bow.
 * Staff of Enchanting for casting enchants you want to last longer e.g. Fleeting Stability when running

Usage

 * Keep Avatar up
 * Keep Grenth's Aura up unless doing Lord Damage or trying to do damage vs shielding hands.
 * Try to use Balthazar's Rage just before Wearying Strike to remove it for the adrenaline gain. Try to not cover Balthazar's Rage with other enchantments.
 * Use Shield of Force vs attackers or to KD dervishes while linebacking.
 * Use Fleeting Stability to move faster and/or to prevent KD
 * If there's an Ele with Blinding Flash, try to reserve Harrier's Grasp to use it immediately after getting blinded.
 * If you want to keep Heart of Fury up you have to wait until or just before Heart of Fury recharges before removing Balthazar's Rage with Wearying Strike, but this means a slower burning+deep wound cycle.
 * Use Grenth's Aura/Mirage Cloak after deep wound to try to trigger death if target is low in health.
 * Example usage in RA
 * Example usage in RA - anti-melee vs warrior

Counters

 * Usual anti-melee/derv
