Way of the Scythe and Hood: Things you should know about being a dervish

why you don't say anything about mystic twister, whith 5 enhantements you can deal loads of damage to 5 targets, thats huge

because mystic twister is crap

it's not crap it's better then mystic sandstorm

Mystic Sandstorm is also crap.
Flare is better than Mending, therefore it isn't crap.

Healing Breeze is better than Mending.
Healing Breeze is still crap.

c whut i did thar?

A bit of a long read to work through this thread, but I think I learned a lot about my new class. Just picked up Nightfall today with some Christmas gift cards... been out of GW for a while before now.

There are two things that are making my life easier as I get back in the saddle:
1) This guide.
2) ANet's "not deleting your whole account due to inactivity" policy I've been screwed by that in other games in the past, and it was nice to see my farming-ready characters still alive when I needed cash to re-equip and re-arm after all the changes.

An update to the article to cover the changed skills and whatnot would be much appreciated... I wasn't around when the changes happened so I have no clue what all changed.

With a bit of luck (and a lot of new knowledge for builds) I think my Dervish has a decent chance of making some headway in the Survivor title tracks. My previous character (assassin) didn't stand a chance lol

One side note.... since the +armor cap is 25, wouldn't it be pointless to use conviction while using AoB? Unless you are using it as a regeneration stance (meaning you aren't using any other enchantments), it won't do anything extra.

Great guide otherwise.
