I'm not to far into the nightfall chapter and this is my first post (i think).
What: Farming Insects for 4 Sunspear Points Per Kill
Where: Outside of the east exit for Yohlon Haven
What I Suggest: Farm the Zaishen missions in the PVP Isles (I find "Illusionary Weaponry" team easiest to beat) to unlock the skills you want, and then go buy them with your skillpoints at a trainer.
[yes i realize it would go faster with a group of henchies... but those suckers drop purples and golds and i want em]
BTW you guys can correct me all you want on numbers and health etc, but if you follow the directions in this guide, you will see it works fine for farming in the location i listed above (any place else... not sure about lol).

Scyth Mastery: 11 +1(hood)+2(rune)=14
Mysticism: 10 +2(rune)=12
Tactics: 7
Earth Prayers: 7 +1(rune)=8 *OPTIONAL... I'll explain soon*
Skills:

Loose 1 enchantment, if enchantment is lost in this way this attack can't be "blocked" or "evaded" and you strike for +29 damage
*!OR!*
[]Twin Moon Sweep - Use against High Damage Dealers to keep health up.
Loose 1 enchantment, if enchantment is lost in this way, strike twice and gain 44 health (44 x 3 enemies = 132 health)
-----
[]Faithful Intervention - cost 5/cast 2/recharge 20 (mysticism)
If damage drops your health below 50%, this enchantment ends.
When this enchantment ends, you are healed for 126 health
[]Mystic Vigor - cost 5/cast 0.25/recharge 15 (mysticism)
everytime you hit with an attach, gain 6 health for each enchantment on you (max of 25 health) (24 x 3 enemies = 72 health)
[]Avatar of Dwayna(ELITE) - cost 10/cast 2/recharge 10 (mysticism)
For 63 seconds, whenever you use a skill you gain 41 health and loose 1 hex.
This skill is disabled for 120 seconds
[]Heart of Fury - cost 10/cast ).75/recharge 30 (mysticism)
For 17 seconds you attack 33% faster. When this enchantment ends all nearby foes are set on fire for 3 seconds
-----
Vital Boon (earth prayers) *!OR!* Balthazars Rage (mysticism)
cost 5/cast 1/recharge 8________cost 10/cast 0.75/recharge 15
[]Vital Boon - has a good instant heal of 158hp and no waiting time
for 20 seconds you have +72 maximum health. when this enchantment ends, you gain 142 health.
*!OR!*
[]Balthazars Rage - Better heal when this enchantment ends
All adjacent foes take 51 holy damage. For 20 seconds this enchantment does nothing. When this enchantment ends you have 9 health for each sucessful hit you made (9 x 3 enemies = 27 x 11 = 297 health)
(the 11 is the number of swings a dervish makes in 20 seconds without Heart of Fury active)
-----
Bonettis Defense (tactics)
for 8 seconds you have a 75% chance to block attacks. Whenever you block an attack this way you gain 5 energy.
Order of Use:
faithful intervention
mystic vigor
avatar of dwayna
heart of fury
vital boon *!OR!* balthazars rage
You want to cast vital boon/balthazars rage last.
The last enchantment you cast is the enchantment that heals you once it ends. Once vital boon/balthazars rage is stripped they end, and once they end, you get healed (hurray =P lol).
Cast Bonetti's Defense as it fills up, this will keep your energy up.
Your Main attack is Victorious Sweep. It hits for +29 and chances are if you keep hitting for +29 and you use either Twin Moon Sweep/Irresistable Sweep you are going to have more health that whatever it is your whacking, so the heal will go off i assure you.
When Avatar of Dwayna ends, don't freak out! If they arn't down to half and/or you don't have a moral boost by the time it ends... well keep on fighting as directed above. Avatar of Dwayna is meant to keep your health up in the begining when all the enemies are at full and there are alot of enemies. Once it wears off you should have killed at least one/two of whatever it is your fighting and you shouldn't need the +41 health because less things are attack you.
Well thats that.

*NOTE: If you have Avatar of Balthazar, you can replace Dust Cloak with it and the build is even better.*

This build works great in almost any team.
Decent damage output, great energy management, & a group armor bonus.
Can even heal teammates for 90 health with Signet of Pious Light (wouldn't rely on it though).

Dervish/Warrior
"Bonetti's Victory"
Scyth Mastery: 10 +1(hood)+2(rune)=13
Mysticism: 10 +2(rune)=12
Tactics: 7
Earth Prayers: 9 +1(rune)=10
The order of my skills on my skill bar (from left to right):
2/7/3/6/1/4/5/8
(numbers correspond to the number next to the skills in the 'Order of Use' section below)
Order of Use:
1) Dust Cloak (right when you get into battle, cast as it recharges)
2) Victorious Sweep (immediately after dust cloak, use frequently between recharge times and casting spells)
3) Signet of Pious Light (remove Dust Cloak, blinding adjacent foes)
4) "watch yourself" (Use it every time it's charged)
5) Bonetti's Defense (Use it every time it's charged)
6) Vital Boon (cast it and remove it with Signet of Pious Light for 248 health)
7) Distracting Blow (use to interrupt a target and adjacet targets, this skill can be a life saver)
8) Res Sig
If Dust Cloak IS recharged and Bonetti's Defense ISN'T, cast Dust Cloak and remove it with Signet of Pious Light, to buy yourself 4 seconds.
If the reverse is true then use Bonetti's Defense; once Bonetti's starts to wear off cast Dusk Cloak.
If Low on Health, cast Vital Boon and remove it with Signet of Pious Light for 248 health. Then cast Dust Cloak and remove it with Signet of Pious Light for another 90 Health. Rinse. Repeat.
Keep your energy up with Bonetti's Defense, use it every time it's charged.
Keep yourself and your team's armor up with "watch yourself", use it every time it's charged.
Continually Attack with Victorious Sweep, it will deal damage and keep your health up.
If you see a spell caster about to nuke you or a ranger/warrior about to heal up, use Distracting Blow to interrupt them. Use this skill wisely as you can't interrupt them again for another 10 seconds.
I have found this is a good base build to start with. I know everyone is all D/Mo and stuff but let me say this.
I went out with a bunch of D/Mo's and some Monk Heroes to cap the Avatar of Balthazar. I was running the "Bonetti's Victory" build above.
I was the first to run into the battle and the last one alive for about 10-12 seconds after everyone else was dead.
I never got the cap as a group but I went back with a balanced group of henchies/heroes using the same build (Bonetti's Victory), got the cap just fine.
--------------------
thats it for me.
hope I helped.
enjoy,
