*sighs loudly*

I've been playing dervish for about 6 hours now, and we all know that they're not going to nerf any of the skills until just before nightfall gets released, so the majority buy it. Anyways without further adue... the build my teammates, guildies and enemies want to have.

A build on how to be practically invincible, have mass conditions and hexes and still keep on fighting, and goes toe to toe with single and mass enemies without worry.

BTW, I've been using the alias Rai Coldwatch during the event on my dervish, so if i notice loads of people using my build tomorrow, remember what crazy fool decided to tell you

How to use this build --

Well now that the basics are covered, time to explain how to use this build.

Throw essence bond and Faithful intervention on
Run towards enemies
Throw on Aura of thorns before getting into combat range followed quickly by mystic regeneration
HP REGEN - +16
Start to hack away at the enemy, before adding on mystic vigor and mirage cloak
HP REGEN- +24
Follow up with Balthazars rage for extra damage
HP REGEN- +28

Use Avatar of melandru if you believe you will get dazed, or if you require that extra +4 hp regen. Normally you shouldnt... REMEMBER TO KEEP MYSTIC REGENERATION ON AT ALL TIMES!


Suffice to say, the mass HP regen pwns almost anything in the way. Fighting while empathied, SS'd, in a met shower and with life transfer on works quite well

Although damage output on this build is from normal scythe attacks and Balthazars Rage. So, remember to divert enough attention away from your allies...

Some good counters that has been used against me in RA :

Mass air spiking, blackout when mystic regeneration just wears off, and defile enchantments :S




Still enjoy this build for the last day of the PvP event. I know it'll get nerfed, but I'd like some other people to have some fun with it before hand.

I fought people like this a bit today. Well, similar build anyways.

I started taking Nature's Renewal and dropping it in a corner.

Then proceeded to use my Tiger's Fury & Bash.

Oh it was GG, by the way.

HP regen caps @ +10

What's doing it for you is a constant +10, not the +28.

And then you run into 3 Ritualists holding some funny looking ashes and their staffs look a bit wooden.

oh the joy I had watching people playing Dervish loose life just cos i was standing close.

Anyway good build, Im sure it wont be nurfed as the more people that use it, the more people will try to stop it, eventually it will be countered.

But if I run into a stupidly high regening Derv im gonna slap you :S

Why would you use essense bond over balt spirit? Essence only works on physical and elemental, balt works on everything.

For example: IW, energy surge/burn, HOLY damage...

10 Regen won't take you that far.... 20 hp per second... any single good person will do upwards of 50 dps.. what happens when you got 4 on you. Mirage cloak and mystic vigor will help, but you are far from unkillable ><

There are beter builds that are harder to kill and do more damage.

What if hes hexed? The 28 will cover for the -10-??? degen he could be suffering.
