I'm not a fan of avatars, particularly not Balth. I see no real self heal,Balthazar's rage hardly counts because you have done nothing to maximize it's effects with an IAS buff, which should be a priority considering you only have 70 AL. For that matter I see no other AL buff aside from AoB. If you absolutely have a hard on for avatars I recommend using Lyssa, Melandru or Dwayna because they have more utility. Heart of Holy Flame can be replaced by Heart of Fury, same ending effect but with an IAS buff. Scythe's are slow. I personally think Mystic Regen should be a staple on a dervish bar but some people prefer to use conviction instead and take the armor buff over the regen. I'm not sure why you have so much holy damage in there. Let me stress this, because I see a lot of people make this mistake,holy damage only ignores armor if it is a direct damage spell. In other words just because your attacks with a scythe do holy damage does not mean they ignore armor, so unless you're fighting undead ditch the holy damage skills. I notice the Zealous Renewal inclusion which would indicate to me you are looking for e management solutions. With 12 in Mysticism you should be seeing a decent return from enchantment endings. I would ditch Mystic Sweep in favor of victorious sweep. Mystic caps out at +30 damage, at 16 scythe mastery I believe victorious scales to +30 or very close to it and it gives a conditional heal. Lyssa's you get for free because of the energy return provided you meet the condition, and with faithful you should, but I question the usefulness. Sure it's a freebie but I'd rather use the energy and do more damage than get a freebie attack that does only mediocre damage. I give this build a 4 out of 10 since you obviously put some thought into trying to create an original build but I don't think you really thought about the skills you were using.
