At 14 Scythe Mastery, you could easily bring Victorious Sweep instead of Eremites Attack or Mystic Sweep. It will do just as much damage, and has the benefit of healing you when hitting a foe with less health.
[edit] Equipment
- Survivor armor runed up appropriately with minor Mysticism and minor Scythe Mastery.
- A 15^50 scythe; a zealous mod may help with energy management.
- Spam Scythe Attacks while under Avatar of Dwayna. Because of Eternal Aura, Dwayna's form should be up the entire time, and thus the numerous hexes in FoW are not a problem.
- One of the Dervs should be ready to solo the Mage right as the rest of the team enters the Burning Forest.

- Make stuff explode by spamming Death Blossom and Moebius Strike.

- If stuff isn't dying, it's probably your fault somehow.
[edit] Equipment
- Survivor armor with minor blood and soul reaping runes
- HCT for Blood Spells is a big plus - it will drastically reduce casting on your Orders spells over time, which should be up constantly.

- Remove Hexes and powerheal with WoH. If the assassin comes under fire, which it will, throw Prot Spirit on it. Because of the dervishes' hex removal, your primary targets for hex removal are the warrior and the assassin. Heal Party for emergencies.
