I just capped Vow of Strength and I was wondering if there was a good PvE Vow of Strength build that any of you made/found?

Try this, I find it a decent Vow of Strength build for myself.

Vow of Strength
Veil of Thorns
Armor of Sanctity
Mystic Regeneration
Heart of Fury
Spirit Bond/Balthazar's Spirit
Conviction
Zealous Renewal (optional)

Basically, Veil of Thorns+Armor of Sanctity+Mystic Regeneration+Spirit Bond/Balthazar's Spirit before you engage battle.
Apply Vow of Strength + Heart of Fury as soon as they run out.

This build depends on the positioning of your Devr to ensure that you hit as many mob as you could. In terms of energy management, its pretty minimal. Since you are running lots of enchantments at the same time, you will be close to 10 pip of health regen at all time. The only thing that you will be worried about is ranged attack and enchantment removal.

Note: this only works in PvE.

VoS is my favorite dervish elite. The scythe attackes are just ok, and the avatars are just crap. I posted my build on a different thread llong ago, but here it is.

Mine is very similar to Coloneh's so i won't bother posting it. Consider using PvE only skills such as Aura Of Holy Might and "By Ural's Hammer!" for an even bigger % damage increase. Asuran Scan is great vs bosses too.

Maybe use Vital Boon and Signet of Pious Light for Selfheal.

But bring Scythe to 15 and Earth just 10. Will be more damage in the end.

gp /w for flail. add in a few other damage boosting skills like Aohm, and dodge this, maybe a little watch yourself and some you move like a dwarf, and you have a pretty solid build.

Thing is.. Vow of Strength is easily outclassed by Aura of Holy Might with only rank 1.
You're better off replacing it asap.

Vamp Scythe of course i like using that too but without a pet i use

[skill]vow of strength[/skill][skill]faithful intervention[/skill][skill]mystic regeneration[/skill][skill]heart of fury[/skill]Aura of Holy Might, Great Dwarf Armor, open, open

the 2 open spots generally depend on the area, sometimes its a res, sometimes, mending touch, or brawling headbutt, or whatever you have for a preference

The best thing about going D/R is the pet!!

And you do realise Great Dwarf Weapon is target other?

I didn't see it mentioned above, but if you don't want to put many points in BM for Heket's, you can run Dwarven Stability. This allows you to run 14/13/3 (scythe/earth/beast), which gets you 44% on VoS, and 6s natural duration on Heket's. With D.Stability, 6s Heket's becomes 12s (assuming r10 Delver), which is plenty for its 10s recharge.

I usually like this scenario better, because VoS builds typically have lots of free space on the skill bar, but no spare attribute points. The downside is another enchantment you have to cast in addition to VoS, AoHM, and whatever else you brought.
