45 fame, an ass load of Balth faction, and almost no brain power needed. to bad it will be nerf'd in a few hours. get your time in with it while you can.
p.s. do we get the record for fasted team killed ever? 39 seconds has to be pretty high up there on the list... it was a necro touch spike so they ran right to us... it was ridiculus...
Dervish are soo broken, and i took full advantage of it. 45 fame night ftw!

Thoose dervish teams are sucking fun out of pvp weekend for me. We had to stop yesterdays guild HA run cause there was only 2 options - dervish team or anti-dervish team. When we tried one we pwned zaishen in 9 seconds!!! Lol!
Quid Pro Quo
Yeah that build is pretty broken but it requires a full skilled team to pull it off. When they nerf it the casual gamer will be hurt much more overall while the elite gamer just figures out a new build.
And they think cutting down on farming helps the casuals.

They introduced new overpowered profession and it can't be played less than this level..mechanic of primary attribute of dervish is broken and over powered and most of dervish enchants orbing around this attribute..any try to nerf his useful enchants will make him impossible to play with.
I like this profession tbh but i know it was just PvP event with powerful professions to seduce us to buy Nightfall, then when they sell 2 million copy and top guilds abuse these 2 new professions in GvG, Anerf start to swing its nerf bat on both of them, and we go back to same endless stupid loop.

Your one of the fun ruiners. This build was overpowered and many people were saying "I hate you anet" in their name then playing it. I hope they all are slayed by balth.
Stockholm
This was after all a BETA TEST, just so they can see what needs to be changed and what works. You can be sure that they will analyse the data from this weekend, and make changes where it is needed.
Too bad the fame will be reset after the event is over.

Fame will be reset after the event is over? I seriously, seriously, doubt that.
Permasiel
To be honest, if you only got 45 fame a night "abusing" something you consider to be seriously "broken", you should uninstall. Now if it had been a couple hundred fame, it'd been different.

I remember that Rits were also considered overpowered during the PvP preview, now hardly anybody plays them.

I'd be ashame and think you're a fool if you don't take advantage of the new skills while everyone else is rather clueless about it. If you break it enough, anet will change this when Nightfall comes out.
Nate The Newt
for the people saying "eww... only 45 fame..." keep in mind i got home at about 12:45 PM my time and played till 3 AM, only about 2 hours worth of playtime. 2 hours and 45 fame and about 14k balth faction is alot for me considering i went from 22 fame to 65... and since the preview weekend started my Balth faction overall total has gone from 30k faction to 75k faction. the preview event for Factions was alot more fun, but this one is alot more profitable.

Most rits you see in PvP now are just ritual lords used for defensive purposes. Find me a ritualist build used for offense in pvp.
H2BH
The very nature of rit skills pretty much screw them into a stationary type of play and being staitonary makes attacking kinda more like hey some idiot finaly came close enough....

What happens is Anet make overpowerd-ness, we all get excited, we buy Nightfall and they beat it with the nerf stick! Remember old temple strike?
Phades
Except the old temple strike wasnt even remotely overpowered and it was a energy pig for assassin primaries considering they had to use a lead off before it and needed to cover the conditions with twisting afterwards.

45 fame in 1 night is not much to boast about.
I did HA for 2 days and I'm rank 3. Its all about your team not the build.

Mr.Style
Everyone also has to remember that this is, as mentioned before a BETA. One of the primary reasons that they do this is to test the professions and to find the reaction of the general public. You also have to remember that with the next chapter skills are included for the old characters as well. Most likely these skills will help balance the playing field. If not, then Anet will find another way to make sure that the professions are balanced. You can be sure of that...

No skipping maps, 5x hold thats alot of fame.

Fully broken build, never going to make it to the release like it is.
Saider maul
Yeah the build is well thought out and several variations of its like.
I dont think the healing of mysticism is the problem. make 1 energy for every 3 ranks not 1 for every 2 ranks and that will slow down their abilities. make all the spikes 10 sec recharge and this will be equil to a touchie.
doesn't matter many scythe builds are near as strong so i am not to concerned. I will miss it though.
