Is being a Dervish required for Asterius to drop his unique scythe, or does it not matter?

Your profession doesn't effect any drop that you get in the game.

Profession doesn’t matter but be sure to solo farm it or have heroes pinned outside of radar before you kill boss as greens (or any item) can get assigned to a hero so you won’t see it drop.
I use to get this often when farming with my Sin. Are you just looking to obtain one or want to be able to farm it continuously?
