Lifehunt Scythe build... where should I go with this?

http://mmdks.com/40jp

The point of this build is to hide out in the burg and jump invaders. I'm unsure where else to put levels. The armor is mostly for appearance.

Why use a lightning bandits knife? it scales with dex so it would be better to go the standard path.. especially if ur looking for backstab damage with it.

This is my lifehunt build

If you want to take priscilla´s dagger, just take out the bow and add 1 endurance

700 bleed is a bit overkill, but you can switch out the wolf ring for bloodbite or anything really, I´d say we have the same idea with the theme going on

stole some stuff from your build: http://mmdks.com/40k5

Noted.

Staminarecovery is important using Lifehunt. 
Sacrefice one of the rings to Clorantyring or switch shield into grasshield

http://mmdks.com/41bc here's my take on a "pure" lifehunt scythe build. hp and stamina leave nothing to desire, bleed res. is through the roof (so much even that the bloodshield could be swapped -> grass crest as goblin suggested or gold tracer + leather shield for even more bleed). poise cound be higher but the critical value is reached (just fyi poise is a huge deal with the scythes, the windup on the R2s can be rather slow and 0 poise in your original proposal is a no-go anyhow). claw is imo the ideal bleed backup and you won't find a more powerful 1.0lb weapon after the thorn gauntlet buff is applied (~20dmg extra on R1 and ~40dmg on R2).
