Strange Valewalker QuestionFollow

[Green] When I made a valewalker I was told that I should spec Scythe at level, Arboreal at 2/3 level, and the rest into Parry. That spec combination is awesome for a solo oriented VW as I have come to find but, has anyone tried Arboreal at level, Scythe 2/3 level, and the rest in Parry? or any other variations of the 3 specs in question?
