Onslaught Dervish PVE

Hi well , i'd like to have some tips for my build for make it perfect with onslaught , for now it using Pure dervish skills ,i would like have suggestion for the second job (not monk) i want to be more original if you can help me and make god suggestions feel free to post!

for now i am at:

Scythe : 10+1
Wind : for now it's at 15 because i don't made a +1 helm so it's 12+3
Mystis : 8+1+1

skills are for now:

-Mystic Sweep,
-Lyssa Assault (for ener management),
-Chilling victory
-Onslaught (Elite),
-Mystic vigor,
-Dwyana Touch (or Pious restoration),
-i put Mystic Twister Very usefull when the foes are blocking makin a 90~125 dmg one shot
-Evidently a Rez

if you are here for flame just skip this thread and unleash your anger in an another thread thx!

I would go for another elite. onslaught, along with wind prayers is quite underpowered

16 scythe
12 mysticism
9 earth prayers

It get's the job done

Sorry for the spam but how do you get images of skills like that?

You can just hit "quote" on his reply and get the syntax.

Onslaught is omfg hard to capture in PvE. I gave it up and had to unlock it in PvP. But I tried it with henchies and henchies in DoA are not a good option, so whatever...

[skill]Reaper's Sweep[/skill][skill]Mystic Sweep[/skill][skill]Chilling Victory[/skill][skill]Heart of Fury[/skill][skill]Mystic Regeneration[/skill][skill]Mystic Vigor[/skill][skill]Conviction[/skill][skill]Rebirth[/skill]

something like:
scythe: 12+1
mysticysm: 10+1+1
earth: 8

well thx for posting build but the fact is i want to be Original not copy cat or whatever you would name it. Wind prayers are for now underpowered but some skills in Wind are good i want ask some orginilaty not just Earth prayers build.

but i thx you all for the suggestions of build, mine was pretty same except i used Faithful intervention and Avaar of Balth

- if it's possible to stay on the principle of the build which i stated on the 1st reply , just advise of some skill of another profession etc

You would be better of with 16 Scythe and 13 Wind.

Onslaught {e}
Whirling Charge
Chilling Victory
Victorious Sweep
Lyssa's Assault
Rending Sweep / Eremite's Attack / Wild Blow
Featherfoot Grace / Wild Blow / Eremite's Attack
Res


But really Onslaught isn't that great in PvE. I used it to spike Abaddon in the last mission but otherwise it is lacking in defense generally.

I kinda like Onslaught in PvE.

The description of how it works makes you think, "hey, I'll use the higher energy/longer recharge attacks" but I don't think that's the way to go. I like using the lower energy, quick recharge attacks, because you can really spam them under Onslaught.

I'm at work so I can't look up my build, but it's something like:

[skill]Lyssa's Assault[/skill][skill]Banishing Strike[/skill][skill]Victorious Sweep[/skill][skill]Mystic Sweep[/skill][skill]Onslaught[/skill][skill]Mystic Regeneration[/skill][skill]Faithful Intervention[/skill][skill]Renew Life[/skill]

Stats i really don't remember, except that it's enough Earth prayers for Mystic Regeneration to be +3 pips for each enchantment, and high enough wind prayers that Onslaught isn't down long, probably 11+1. Rest pumped into Scythe mastery with a superior rune, leftovers in Mysticism (Faithful Intervention isn't there for the heal, it's there for being always enchanted for Mystic Regeneration & Mystic Sweep.)

for now i thought of :

Wild blow , Flail (true 5 sec but it's Adr) , Harrier haste for cancel the stance , natural healing

Worst thing about Onslaught in PvE is that it's in wind prayers, which isn't really needed in PvE.

For those players who don't want to accumulate too many deaths and just hate dying all the time (normal occurence when capping Onslaught in Nightfall especially with hero/hench team), ask someone who is farming the Onslaught of Terror i believe the name of the boss, E/A or A/E Slivers are the norm and successful solo farmers for this particular boss, have him or her solo the boss he goes down in 7 seconds or so, while u wait in a safe spot for your cap.

Or just take Ebon Dust Aura, lock Norgu onto the Rain of Terror, and whack him dead....

hmm ive been thinking... what about an onslaught thumper?? or could be used instead of flourish on an assasin

Dunno, onslaught feels a lot like having 8 expertise for your attacks only. Seems just underpowered to me. Much like Vow of Strength. They should buff Onslaught to 50/50 and VoS to +4%/lvl
Edit: Come to think of it, the only way I'm ever using onslaught is if they buff the entire wind attribute.

when you think about it, onslaught sounds like an awesome skill....25% less energy, attack skills recharge 25% faster..and at 16 wind you would be able to keep it up 24/7.....but like everyone else i to believe Wind Prayers are way underpowered and until they buff or add skills that make worth dumping attribute points into when I'm not using a running build I'm staying away from them.


EDIT: I have heard that W/D can use this skill to some effect though.....

onslaught might be worth considering if wind prayers got a buff. but if wind prayers were buffed, then zealous vow would beat the pants off of onslaught.
