Players helping players - build optimization

i would love to see a decent scythe build. i have a few. thats def. on my list for a future char. aren’t they dex faith tho? havent paid too much attention since i want to use them later

Soul Thresher is str/dex which is what he mentioned, but I personally prefer Hope Shorn which is faith.

Let me and I’ll make a quick video.

i can also take a few screenshots of the scythes i have next time i boot up the game. would love some dark reaper kind of char. with scythe plague etc. not sure if thats the kind of synergy i can build but would be cool

these are the two i have. rerolls/embers are not an issue. so is character stats. would likely start a new one anyways or respec.


Do you have lightning assault somewhere in your rune chest or a Gilded Twibill axe?

i have the usual, lightning blast, thorns, plague enchant rune, plague throw, shock nova, thunderstrike, plague sweep, plague wave, lightning barrage, lightning flash.

would love some plague build. not sure how it performs in pestilence zone endgame, but for the grind i already have a char. would be more for flashy roleplay. so i thought plague and scythe would fit.

gems are also rare, no lifesteal (unfortunately) which would fit scythes too. not build wise, but more roleplay wise i guess.

edit: but crucial missing things are not an issue. i can grind for that. i do not mind crucible runs or pestilence zone farms. after all i need a goal, and some sort of grind purpose lol

Here is the weapon setup. You can extract Pestilence Recoil from a False Truth if you find one. Hope Shorn has innate plague damage and it has the fastest charge attack in the game. So besides the Charged attack affix everything is optional.

I’ll post the whole build later. :slightly_smiling_face:
