[edit] History

In the Imperialist lands of Durian, a land with entirely too much history to be listed here, a King assassinated another King and dubbed himself "King Durial". Wasn't much of an assassination as it was a private duel with no guards around. Either way, there's the concise version of Durian's most recent history.
This King Durial had a daughter. Once again, not much of a daughter as she was an illegitimate princess he dragged around with him. He wasn't abusive by any means, but this princess was exploited as a beautiful symbol of his reign, showing peasants and everyone else that he will fix everything and make the lands... "beautiful".
Oddly enough, even within King Durial's paranoia and iron fist, his kingdom prospered phenominally. The reasoning cannot currently be said (in fear of this humble historian being assassinted himself).

The Princess' name was Nisai Voran Oril, and even with her father's brutal nature and violent surroundings, she maintained supreme kindness to others. She did not enjoy being so nice, however, because she knew it only fueled the respect and opinion of her father. An ideal of "Well, if the daughter is so nice, the father can't be too bad, right?" Unfortunately, it worked.
She took archery lessons and simple melee practices in her castle's courtyard with the excuse of wanting to be able to defend herself. King Durian understood this, being paranoid himself, and shrugged off her practice.
Eventually she stockpiled enough supplies and proper outdoorsman clothing and easily slipped out of the Kingdom, escaping with her friend Isure and shortening her own name to Nikki to keep her anonimity. She eventually did part ways with her Monk friend however, thinking it was entirely too dangerous.

One day she happened upon an oddly-shaped gate that was emitting a mystical green aura. The ground was scorched around it, the few adjacent trees had died, and there was not a soul or soldier around. Already well into her adventurous lifestyle, she mindlessly walked into the gate that brought her into the lands you all know as Tyria.

Today, she wanders within the Far Shiverpeaks, constantly slaying beasts and defeating Norn to raise her status amoung them, along with the Dwarves. She fares well with her anonimity but one fears that her new lifestyle has hardened her heart.

As for her father and the lands she left behind, he did send out his Knights to investigate but all they found at the end of their search was a few dead trees and a strange ruin of something that seemed to have fallen apart...

For roleplay, Nikki's life experiences have led her to be very cautious to outsiders. She makes very little friends in her travels, and one must have done something extrordinary[sp?] to find themselves in Nikki's good graces.

Explanation:
With the recent semi-buff to the two pet skills, so far I've only found Club of a Thousand Bears to be a good melee-replacement. It could change in the future, most often some over PvE skill or whatnot. But so far that's it.

Otherwise, the last two skills on the top bar are the same for the rest.

For the Scythe, Axe and Sword build, I omit most of Beast Mastery for Expertise but having 2 less points out of Expertise doesn't hurt you too badly.
All of them except the hammer is mostly for AoE.
The sword doesn't have as much DPS as the other two but if you feel like the Bleed/Deep Wound combo then go for it. I personally don't like apply poison myself, so switch around to your needs.
As DPS goes you want to stick with a Scythe or Axe.
Sword for utility.
Hammer for management, knockdowns that serve equally as interrupts. The few seconds you got them knocked down is time they could use to cast something that will hurt.
As for the Scythe's optional slot, I am currently using Ear Bite. Eremite's is also slightly optional so You can choose two slots for some PvE only skills of your choice. Obviously you want to utilize your highest ranks.
