This build was throw together as I progressed through the game, but so far it hasn't let me down. Neverthless, I wanted to see what others thought about it and what changes can be made. I'm sure a bunch of spells here are redundent or bland in comparison to better ones, but I haven't had the heart to change them out yet. So any advice would be great.
Attributes:
16 Scythe (12+1+3)
11 Earth (10+1)
9 Mysticism (8+1)
(or 11 Scythe and 16 Earth)
Skills
Heart of Holy Flame
Aura of Thorns
Mystic Regeneration
Vital Boon
Armor of Sanctity
Reaper's Sweep
Chilling Victory
Res Sig
The base enchant is mystic regen, proc vital boon over that. Then use aura of thorns and armor of sanctity once you're in the fray. HoHF asap after that, and just keep up armor of sanctity while using reaper's sweep and chilling victory intermittently.
The base result is a constant 12-15 hp regen, and 16 points of damage reduction from enemies. If there happens to be one that wasn't affected by aura of thorns, just recast it or use reaper's sweep, assuming they're under 50% health.
Another Dervish/X Tank Variation
Tenshiken
Smokindan
I think it's a pretty solid build, myself. Saying that, I only have a 17 D/Me so I'm not too knowledgeable on all the Dervish skills.
