D/

i remember the old riposte warrior build was able to do some damage against desert minos on that one mission... (been so long i been forgetting everything) i'm just bored of the warrior and have moved onto my D!

got myself pre-release and the pretty blue sword i'll use for this... i been wanting some kind of D/W sword build myself. But for right now I wanna see if there is anyway I could make a Mino Farming dervish so here is one idea...

i figure.... swordsmanship and tactics... i havent thought of what derv skills to use, i'm thiking the possible healing of wind prayers for spells like small fixes like pious restoration and natural healing should i never be on a enchantment ... i'll explain more on that in a bit

How could i do this?

I say you put in the following sklls..

Whirlwind attack...
bonetti's defense
riposte and/or deadly riposte
hundred blades or gladiator's defence.... i possibly throw hundred blades in there as a quick andrenaline builder for whirlwind attack since whirlwind attack has like a recharge time and if you read the the notes about it on wiki you'll understand.... like... whirlwind attack, 1 second later after recharge hundred blades, recharged then WHAM another whirlwind attack

I could use some help on this. I'm tired so if anything is not understandable then i apologize in advance

First, a Derv with a sword is only good if you are using [skill=card]Avatar of Lyssa[/skill] as your elite.Second, Whirlwind attack is based on adrenaline. Third, their are already dervish farm builds available. Why would you play to a warrior's strengths when they wouldn't actually be a dervish's strengths?

When you can honestly say that you feel that a sword derv would be better at farming anything than the current farming dervs then maybe it would be viable, but I doubt it can be anything more than a PvE playing diversion.
