User:Krschkr/D-W Onslaught

This dervish build mimics a warrior's endurance scythe warrior's build in maximizing its scythe attack speed. Features permanent 34% IMS and 33% IAS by combining [[Onslaught] with [[Drunken Master] and further enhances its attack speed with [[protector's strike]. The fast attacking is the build's primary damage source, but also fuels [[Reap Impurities@16] for major area damage.
