Heya everyone, I've been playing a VW for a while now, and so far i really like the char! It's a great farming machine!(with mana pots i can chainpull Yellows without much downtime). As i lvled i've always kept my Scythe lvl the same as my own, and put every leftovers into Arb. My endspec will be: 50 scythe 43 Arbo 2 parry. I've been talking alot with valewalkers, and they told me this would be the best spec. For RA's i'll go with: LW2, Purge, aug dex, Mo Pain, Aug acu, wild power, Rain of Annhil,Rain of Ice,Rain of Fire This will be a nice hybird setup for RA's so i can take every role in a group. Might change it later on, while i'm still trying to find a setup that suits my playstyle. Let me know what you guys think of it!

Hydro i would only go 50 spec scythe if you are going to be only Group vale :+)
if you plan mixing it up i like what Jaro said 44 instead and the rest into parry for your parry chain.
RAs purge/mcl/ Aug dex 2 / Mopain 3 / Maparry 3. for a split roll for RvR solo/small/8 etc :+) the Damage add buffs from the different magic lines are very bad. i maxed one and was only doing around 20-30 more dps on my hero.
I do know Valewalkers do have a higher miss rate vs most other tanks, would be the main reason why i would go 50 scythe.

If you want my opinion i'd recommend not so many Active RA's all these reign of fires, i'd much happier chose Passives, always up and always increase parry / dps etc. etc.

I talked to a few people playing VW, they all said weapon skill is important on this patch lvl. It had something to do with penetration or something, can't really recall.
I went for a groupplay style since Solo RvR WILL NOT BE HAPPENING with 4k players online^^
Not sure yet on the RA's either, but the first few Ra's seems good enough, after that i can always choose what i think will suit my playstyle;)

Noob question here about VWs.
I remember trying out the class on live when the class first came out and thought they were really fun. However I could never get over the lack of an upgraded anytime style. Do you find yourself still using the starter style or do you just use taunt and detaunt a lot instead of an anytime style? Or is there another trick to it?

I don't use an anytime style while playing solo, just hit and use Parry/evade chain. I use taunt alot in groupplay to keep agro from casters though. And detaunt for petpull groups.
Don't forget as a VW you're not a tank! you're more a damage dealer. the sidestyle chain really rocks! huge dmg output, plus for Solo PvE i barely use any styles, just lifetap till 50-60% HP and kill the mob with the scythe, can chainpull yellows that way with a nice mana potion!(downtime really low)
If you prefer more anytime styles i guess you should choose a tank class.

just my opinion they way i would play vw is 50 scythe 43 arb rest parry just like to stated above, the RA's wil be LW1 then purge then aug.dex2+mopain3 then go for aug.str3+m.arms 3 to cut swing delay so its easyer to use higher delay weaps for higher dps. then on higher RR go for dodger/mo.parry for more hybrid group/solo direction maybe consider mo.parry2 right after mo.pain2 to boost both chances up equally, then go for mo.arms3 only if u know for sure your gonne solo/duo more then grouping 44 scythe 23 parry and you wil feel the diffrance mo.parry2 will make. df dia groups/named will mostly have a tank for you, so i would focus on getting max out of scythe im curious to see what happens when a mana chanter debufs cold/heat for u and do that rediculus side style chain choose wisely my friend respec stones are going to alot tougher to get compared to that "other server"
