Tell me what ya think

Profession
D/*
Attribute Points:
Earth Prayers - 12 + 1 + 3
Mysticism - 12

Skills:
Dust Cloak
Staggering Force
Mystic Regeneration
Heart of Holy Flame
Balthazar's Rage
Pious Renewal {E}
Mystic Sandstorm
Resurection Signet

Weapon:
I've been using Rajazan's Fervor but no offhand so i've been doing this with 30 energy but any offhand that gives more energy will help.

Armour:
Any armour you want to use I basically have any health bonus runes and the superior earth prayers it's really up to you more energy can't hurt if your daring enough and wanna take a risk of having low health throw a rune of Superior mysticsm in there.

Usage:
Basically run in and agro monsters and simply cast the enchantments in the order that they are in your skills bar ( order i said above ) and repeat this as many times as needed, With the ammount of enchantments and mystic regen it's fairly easy to solo alot of differant monsters, i've been using this for PvE, PvP and anything really ( it works fairly well in FoW and Underworld but make sure you have monks with you maintaning your health mystic regen wont keep your health up against aataxes for example ).

So any input or advice of how i can make this better would help but have fun using enchantment bombers are possibly the most fun you'll have with a dervish as far as i can see you can't get much better then what i'm using.

It would be more effective if there was no damage cap or recharge time on Mystic Sandstorm.
Unfortunately Mystic Sandstorm has a damage cap of 130 and is earth damage.

You're better off running PBAoEs from the Elementalists, as they have roughly the same recharge (15-20ish). Frozen Burst comes to mind.

Get rid of mystic regeneration for a starter, you wont really need to use it at all. Take Aura or Thorns, Mirage Cloak and Conviction to give you massive damage reductions and superb defense.

Since all your skills would recharge when you stack your enchants and pour em off with Sandstorm, you can rinse and repeat, making sure to re-apply conviction, to keep that defense up.

Just my two cents though

Yeah your probably right just some monsters do belt out alot of damage especially when farming in hard mode with this build but in some situtations you could replace Mystic Regen for Aura of Thorns or something like that, thanks for the input.

Yours worked real well for me, i'm trying my own D/E bomber it's sort of a combo of the well known Mist Form build and skills for dervish enchantment bombers that have been mentioned on this thread i'll post it right now tell me what you think of it and if it could work i'm buying the last skill i need for it right now i'll say how well it worked.....


Attributes
Earth Prayers 12 + 3
Fire Magic 12

Skills
Mystic Regeneration
Conviction
Meteor Shower
Bed of Coals
Dust Cloak
Staggering Force
Eternal Aura
Mystic Sandstorm

Items
I'm doing this with max armor and a staff. So i have 40 energy and it works well so far which is without Bed of Coals.

Usage
Mystic Regen and Conviction before you take aggro, lure all monsters near you ( not sure how many you'll be able to handle yet ) and cast Meteor Shower followed by bed of coals. Quickly use Dust Cloak, Staggering Force, Eternal Aura then last but not least Mystic Sandstorm.... which means

-Average of 12 or so health regen from Mystic Regeneration and Conviction which will also give you +24 armor.
-273 damage and knockdown from Meteor Shower.
-72 damage and 6 seconds of burning from Bed of Coals.
-80 earth damage and 5 seconds of blinding from Dust Cloak.
-80 earth damage and 15 seconds of weakness from Staggering Force.
-80 damage and the ability to quickly reuse all the dervish skills from Eternal Aura.
-130 earth damage from Mystic Sandstorm.



so it's fairly straight forward, tell me what you think of this and if it'll work i'll be trying it when i get on tomorrow because i'm off to bed now so see ya'll tomorrow and tell me about it if you try it.

Aura lasts 10 seconds on you and doesn't recharge the fire spells. A bad choice.
The 273 dmg from meteor shower take (3 seconds casting, 2 seconds animation, then 1 hit every 3 seconds...)14 seconds to happen.

Still meteor shower really only needs to be used once if you have enough energy you can quickly cast the 3 enchants and then wait for recharge then use the three enchants over again meteor shower and bed of coals only really need to be used once to get the damage started

and of course i'm back and yes i have tested the build with all skills and it works great still some minor tweaks needed but still working on it.
