A simple Dervish build

Hi, I've got a lvl 20 Dervish which has a very silly build. My question is: can anybody give my a nice build that contains Dervish skills from Istan, Kourna and Vabbi, and some others (sec. proffession doesn't matter) also from Istan, Kourna, Vabbi, Lion's Arch, Kaineng Center. Maybe someone can give my some nice skills that work well together with the skill Avatar of Balthazar. I've checked certain sited but most of the builds contain skills that can only be accuired in the Desolation and Realm of Torment. Please help!

Avatar of Balthazar sucks.
Get a real elite that actually does something.

[skill]avatar of lyssa[/skill]
[skill]eremite's attack[/skill]
[skill]mystic sweep[/skill]
[skill]protector's strike[/skill]
Eternal Aura
[skill]resurrection signet[/skill]

... then whatever else. I like Aura of Holy Might.

Look around the forums for some builds.

Unlock skills account wide with Balthazar Faction (can be gained so so quickly in Zaishen Challenge)
or..
Use tomes

This is the easyest build I can think of. The elite can be captured in Sunward marsh.

Scythe Mastery : 12+3
Mysticism: 10+1+1
Earth : 7+1

[skill]mystic sweep[/skill][skill]eremite's attack[/skill][skill]victorious sweep[/skill][skill]reaper's sweep[/skill][skill]vital boon[/skill][skill]mystic regeneration[/skill][skill]Faithful Intervention[/skill][skill]resurrection signet[/skill]

Use a zealous scythe of enchanting to spam 4s reload attacks.

Forget about Avatar of Balthazar, it's only use is soloing Fissure of Woe.

Use tomes You still need to unlock a skill before getting it with a tome.

[skill]Wild Blow[/skill]
[skill]Victorious Sweep[/skill]
[skill]Zealous Sweep[/skill]
Any res you want to use can go here I usually use Sunspear Rebirth

The only caveat is that you really need an Ebon weapon. If you can't get one or just really like the one you're using then you can replace Aura of Thorns with [skill]Staggering Force[/skill] Sometimes I run Staggering Force in EoTN because of the weakness. Lay into the melee and spread your blindness around. Mystic Regen and Victorious should keep you nicely healed. Zealous is good if you know how to cluster your enemies. At best you can get a gain of 4 energy per attack. At worst well you get an attack that does extra damage for only 2 energy in the end.

I've also been known to run this occasionally.

[skill]Avatar of Melandru[/skill]
[skill]Wearying Strike[/skill]
[skill]Mystic Regeneration[/skill]
[skill]Eternal Aura[/skill]
[skill]Heart of Fury[/skill]
[skill]Reap Impurities[/skill]
[skill]Zealous Sweep[/skill]
whatever res you want can go here

With this one you really need a zealous scythe because it is sooo energy intensive. With Avatar of Melandru and Eternal Aura you can maintain your avatar form indefinitely in PvE. Since you're immune to conditions you can spam Wearying Strike and lay deep wound around you like mad. Mystic Regen helps keep you healed along with Reap impurities since most of your enemies will have deep wound condition on them. It also helps when you lose your avatar form since Melandru adds 100 health and if you aren't prepared for it when the avatar form drops it can mess you up big time. Zealous sweep is in there once again because it's a one energy damage+ skill at worst and at best it can net you 7 energy with the zealous scythe.

Mystic Regen might give you pause but here is how you do it. go to the battle islands. Go to the Zaishen challenge. Take some heros and fight the Illusionary Weaponry team. These guys are cream puffs. Build up enough Balthazar faction and go to the priest of balthazar. You can then unlock Mystic Regneration at the priest. when you do return to Kamadan and you can buy it like normal at the Skill Trainer. eternal Aura is a PvE only skill on the Sunspear Title track. Zealous Sweep is an Eye of the north skill.

There is my ab and the build I also use with when working with heros. I can actually tank very effectivly with this build, but it's not a great tanking build but it puts out very good dmg while also blinding everything and keeping yourself alive using vital boon and sig of pious light.

Seems like I am one of the very few people that uses AoB. Almost everyone else here says it sucks. lol....

I actually find it very useful if you love tanking with H/H like me. 70 base + 40 bonus = 110 armor. If you add stalwart insignia (+10 vs physical) or blessed insiginia (+10 when affected by enchantment), you can even bump it up to 120 armor. At this level, only a war with +20 vs ele dmg armor insignias all over and a max shield can outdo you. Not to mention that it has a 33% speed boost and does holy dmg (double vs undeads). Combine this with eternal aura, meditation and some earth enchantments or any other skills you fancy and you have a super tank with AoE dmg.

tanking is stupid and lyssa can deal out wat more damage. and if you did want to tank melandru and dwanya are better.

Balth got me through the second MoW mission, and easily so
