Personally as a Dervish I like them all. They are all needed to keep balance, and I like balance. Although I do not worship any of them I respect their morals.

Grenth

Being that I kill a bit too many things for the natural balance of population in Tyria, I worship Grenth. It's that simple.

P.S the reason why fun is because of his skill,Avatar of grenth!
P.SS his skill is only for first prof is dervish.

Does anyone think for the bad guys? What about abaddon, he's cool and evil.
Worshipping Abaddon would be the equivalent of worshipping cthulu in real life.

I'd worship Lyssa, and possibly Dwayna.

ide just like to point out that balth also sells boosts for cash :P
he has at least one shrine that will give the boosts that I came across the other day while mapping for title, in Southwestern most corner of "The Falls" southwest of ventaris.

My god would be Melandru. Being attuned with nature, living off the land and respecting its balance and the beauty of life is central to my chars.

Lyssa the divine combination of beauty and illusion. No matter how strong the body or magic of a foe, there is no sanctuary for the mind and will always fall prey to the powers of Lyssa.

Dervishes are all 5 (there's a bit of all of them in their skill repertoire and it's difficult to pin Dervishes under any less than the full pantheon), and Paragons are Balthazar (spear and command) and Dwayna (leadership and motivation).

I wouldn't say "worship" but out of utter and complete respect for Melandru.

Enjoying the beauty of everything as it is and then some try and destroy it, Melandru puts a stop to that and shows them what they are doing is only hurting themselves. You can't hurt the other without hurting yourself.

If I were in the Guild Wars world I would probably devote myself to Melandru. It's a war torn world, somebody needs to actively seek its restoration.

Of course, the pantheon of gods in the Guild Wars world actually help their followers with divine interventions on a semi-regular basis compared to actual religions, so any good little denizen of the Guild Wars world would seek to appease the entire pantheon regardless of where they allocate their personal devotion.

*skips through thread just to post without bothering to read other peoples' posts*

I'd say Grenth is my deity. Even though warrior and sin are my favored professions--suggesting Balthazar or Lyssa--, I have a liking for the idea of being a reaper serving my god by sending the souls his way for judgement. Did they live their life well? Were they horrible, and is karma about to kick them up-side-the-face?

My Assassin is a mercenary, paying homage to Grenth. In doing so he has gained a frightening power that complements his fighting style in a BIG way.

I follow Melandru... because she's the goddess of Nature, Balance and Survival.

She doesnt get head over wheels with her power. Yes, she's an old god, but shes also earth and her sense of humility is worth being admired as much as her kindness and beauty.

Wish there would be a druid class in gw like in WoW... My main chara is a R/E with druid armor; its as close at it gets.

Balthazar, the god of Might!

I hail Balthazar every time i face strong foes in battle, he gives me strenth.


Ps, Balthazar isnt a wammo, a wammo is a Warrior/MONK with mending/Healing Breeze. Balthazar is a god, a warrior, he doesnt need monk skills to fight his opponents, he will fight and destoy them all.

I fight for Chuck Norris, and Chuck Norris only :P

Actually, if I had to pick, it'd have to be Balthazar, because my two main characters are a Hammer Warrior and a Pyromancer/Geomancer (two outta three are loyal to Balthazar)

Balthazar.
3/6 of my characters are Warriors, and Bal's Avatar is the only Dervish elite my D/Mo has capped at the moment. Plus I've always been fascinated by deities of war in mythology. Wonder if the warrior spirit is more brutality, or poetic passion.

Next in line is Dwayna, due to my Ele being an Aeromancer, and almost all of my /Mo's using Smiting Prayers.

While my main is Necro, I'm not too keen on all the Grenth stuff. Lyssa for me, since I usually run SS + Pain Inverter.

I'll /kneel to anyone when I have enough DP.

My God, Lyssa, 'cause I like being on the winning team.

"A mercenary is a person who takes part in an armed conflict who is not a national of a Party to the conflict and "is motivated to take part in the hostilities essentially by the desire for private gain "

"though many assassins (especially those not part of an organization) also demonstrate insanity; other motivations are money (contract killing),"
