The Hylian Nightmare - Dervish Melee Solo'er

Yes, a dervish farm build that isn't a rip-off of the 130 build! This build can farm pretty much all melee monsters that don't have healing signet! (Trolls, Minotaurs, etc.)


Dervish/Necromancer

Attributes:
Mysticism: 8
Scythe Mastery: 9
Earth Prayers: 15 (12+1+2)
Death Magic: 5

Equipment:
I prefer the preorder scythe
(Cold Dmg, 15^Enchanted, Enchants Last 20% Longer)

Dunewalker Head Piece (+1 Earth)
All pieces should have the windwalker insignia on them.
1 Rune of Major Earth
1 Sup. Vigor, or any type of vigor (though it's not even necessary!)
3 Runes of Attunement (+2 Energy Each)

Skills:
Tainted Flesh {e}
Armor of Sanctity
Conviction
Mystic Regeneration
Faithful Intervention
Vital Boon
Necrotic Traversal
Consume Corpse



Okay, as you can see this build is based on Tainted flesh and necrotic traversal for not only damage but damage reduction. Tainted flesh will disease all melee creatures that attack you and necrotic traveral will poison them (consume corpse is for health and energy gain).

Also maintaining 3+ enchantments at all time gives you 85 AL and with conviction on you have 99 AL. Also since tainted flesh gives a condition out to all your attackers, all of there attack damages are reduced by 20! Because of this the melee attackers usually only do 0 dmg and if they do any more it's only around 4-5 dmg! With mystic regenaration and vital boon you are easily healed and kept at full health if any dmg does go above zero.

Also this build is actually quite energy efficient and I never found myself in need of energy

Enjoy!

Last time I tried a build like this on mino's, they scattered and it took forever.

They run from tainted flesh? o_o
I mean with they don't run from veil of thorns so I'm not sure why they would run from Tainted.

Just got done farming Heket with this build and I am proud to say that they don't run at all from tainted flesh ^_^

When more than three melee enemies are on you at a time, they scatter. Especially when their HP gets low.
