That's the build i've been trying with and so far no luck, it mite be my teams but i still find the survivability hard in this mission. I find with all my enchants up, i have so many afflictions that i have 1 degen. My energy is fine but i need help with this mission and a possible build to use for it. I was gonna use the mirror of ice build but The elite skill 'mirror of Ice' is only capturable at the end of factions, HELP.

Use avatar of melandru to counter burn and have hero interrupt metoer shower and stuff

i might try that, i also swapped mending hands for purge conditions, coz if i lose my conditions then mystic regen shud kick in and heal me anyway.

obsidian flesh dervish does well there.

There are tons of builds which work, you can search them on the forum. Im not going to debate that so am just gonna browse through your skill list.

First, my honest opinion is that Earth Prayers are overrated when compared to let's say Protection Prayers. Ya, i know a lot of people here will disagree, but i dont care about majority polls. Earth Prayers are OK for fun, but lack the edge that prot prayers give.

That being said, if you come across a mission which is giving you problems, switching to prot prayers (8 attribute is enough, with 15 in mysticism) instead of earth prayers might completely solve your problems; after that you can use whatever you prefer. Yes, Conviction and Mystic regen are great skills, and if some other profession had em, i'd massively use it myself. But when im Dervish, i neglect these and use prot prayers if i need optimal setup. I did use these skills in the beginning but they proved inferior IMO.

Try Chilling Victory, it's overpowered in PvE.

And you really dont need Purge conditions, it's inferior in every way to Mending Touch.

My DMo Juggernaut build makes this mission a piece of cake, but there is no need to use the same build, plenty of others are good. Mark Nevermiss gave you a nice tip; you can use heroes to help you, and just stick with some Dervish build you like. When i played Ranger in this mission, i put Broadhead Arrow on a hero, and he sure used it nicely. Even one hero with interrupt or daze will help, since mostly you run into few enemies, but they have strong spells.

Meh, use Vow of Silence and just solo the Tortureweb and Terrorweb dryders; they do no real damage without casting.

Burning isn't a problem here.... meh

theres prot spirit too, thats what i used there on my derv and did really well

forgot to reply soz, finished gate of pain ^^ i think it was the team, but i tryed countering the burning with purge conditions and it worked quite well, only problem was the recharge tinme so i only used when i had massive conditions. Thanx all ^_^

Meh, I got masters on Gate of Pain with a similar build to the OP. I think they key to your success is based on the rest of your team. Switching to use VoS, AoM, or Obs Flesh will probably work as well if not better, but your real problem is either your ability to control aggro or the ability/setup of the rest of your team.

Did Gate of Pain with couple friends, me Running Mysticism 16, Scythe 13, Avatar of Balthazar. It worked, not as well as I had hoped, but it worked.

Daze and interupt heros own this mission hard.

I wud use lyssa. You'll be suprized by the amount of dmg you do to the spiders when they're casting, absolutely insane.

yup, daze+interrupt and all the spiders do is....nothing
