Dilema with Scythe build

Hi,

Im currently cannot decide on how to maximize my scythe effective in the PvP scene, mostly talking Duel dual/ 2v2.

To give an overall picture of my server:

Top 10 players, are running around with 2-4 legendary monsters, with a very strong emphasis on Grypon/levi & fenrirs with invalidate/pewgway combos, or simply the Neon/gryph/rhor-FS-taunt-pewgway and POD ress scythes.

Plant and fire monsters are next to non-existent in server 32 pvp.

My scythe's current build is:

Resurrect
Boulder
Massive Boulder
Martyr
Earthquake

My dileme is that i dont know if to replace EQ with Pod.
In the other hand i bought EQ for scythe to counter the very popular neon/rhor pewgway FS TAUNT combos, which infest my server, but on the other hand, most of the players i see in the top ladder got POD on their scythes, which makes him extremely strong.

My biggest fear, is that if i switch out EQ with pod, i wont have a response to counter the electricity-water taunt combo, since my flight with penetrate cant do it alone, and by the second turn everything gets 1 shoted by STS +pod and rain.

Would really like to hear ur suggestions and ask for ur help in terms of a solid scythe build,countering elec-water combos and dealing with legendary teams (blizz/invali fenerris/levis and gryphs)/ legendary teams.

Martyrdom is an AOE move like earthquake and would do more damage than earthquake to a pewgway. Just use that move for those combinations and pit pod on in earthquakes spot

Re: Dilema with Scythe build

NOOOOO Waffle why do u listen these brainless advises :/ Ofc u remove ur Matry it is useless for ladder - 2 reasons : scythe use it vs weaker opponent if he can kill him example : my leviathan at 1hp - ur scythe matry to kill him ... 2nd reason it is now useless and for pvp (coz new water monsters are faster then scythe and always do crazy dmg over u before u matry - u do very less dmg with it ) , Earthquake is must for ur pvp and i hope u did not remove it like some "smart" ppl here say ! Msg u in game ( we are same server ) :)

Re: Dilema with Scythe build

Yo valence,

I dont know if removing martyr is a good idea, since in 2V2/Duals, its the only tool that allow scythe to fight back or give u advantage against otherwise unbeatable odds with just using rock skills, sometimes when it comes to fenrir blizzard with avalanche/ penetrate hippogons/ water monsters which is common in the server, i can usually take them both to 70% hp and then finish them off with martyr and FS on pewgway to minimize dmg on the 2nd turn.

It also seems to combines well with FS turtle.
From what i saw, POD - martyr scythes in most of the cases can knock out most of the strongest monsters in hit which are strong vs rock, or leave around 10-5% of a legendary.

I havnt replaced any skill yet.

Yet i remain confused :cry:

You were the one whos brainless here!!!! Martyrdom is one of the best skill of earth monster should have!!! This help you to kill monter who has advantage over you. Good combo would be POD + martyr then resu.
