Hi, I am looking for a good all-around build that includes an avatar, and of course eternal aura. I want to be able to survive, so a few defensive earth prayer enchants would be nice. Just post any good build you know of that fits this description.



~Thanks!!!!

... who needs crappy Earth Prayers when you heal by spamming attacks?

You have monks, those help you survive. Otherwise, Dwayna is good enough.

im too lazy to go check my build and get the build and check but mine is balanced so here it is
use suli's sythe and make sure you can get as much energy as possible.
1. AoB
2. Eternal Aura
3. zealous renewal
4. mystic regen
5. Lyssas strike or Zealous strike
6. mystic sweep
7.erimites strike
8. optional (maybe rez?)

i dont remeber the stats but make sure you use the skills in order. so when you get in fights do 1,2,3,4, etc. if its a small group just do 1,2,3, and than 5,6,7. once zealous ends, you energy should go back and do it again. youll live most of the time.

Ok so maybe this would be a good build?
[skill]Avatar of Dwayna[/skill][skill]Eternal Aura[/skill][skill]Heart of Fury[/skill][skill]Wild Blow[/skill][skill]Protector's Strike[/skill][skill]Eremite's Attack[/skill][skill]Vital Boon[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

- (Maybe Victorious Sweep, since I don't bring rez with heroes?)(Both Monks have rez)


I am trying to get out of that over-defensive mode that most dervishes get into.

I tried to put in low energy cost, relatively quick regen(spamable) attacks, due to Dwayna.

.................................

Should I replace vital boon with Mystic Regeneration? Should I include Vital Boon and Mystic Regeneration? Maybe Conviction? Should I ditch Earth Prayers completely, and allot points only to Mysticism and Scythe Mastery, putting a different skill instead of Vital Boon? Thanks a lot for your help.

~Mason Drop all the Earth Prayers stuff if you're running Dwayna, you don't need any more healing. [skill]Mystic Sweep[/skill] > Protector's Strike.
Also take [skill]Zealous Renewal[/skill] and [wiki]Aura of Holy Might[/wiki]

rest in mysticism one caveat with this build if you don't have an ebon scythe one of those optional slots better have staggering force in it to change your damage to earth otherwise Ebon Dust aura is a waste of an elite slot.

If you have EotN, you should be able to get Great Dwarf Armor; if you really want some defensive enchants, that should do the job and you don't have to spend Earth Prayers points on it. That lets you focus the rest on Mysticism and Scythe Mastery, which means you do more damage.

Hmm..

Drop protector's strike for victorious.
Drop vital boon for rush / mending touch / watchful intervention / mystic vigor / whatever; which then means you can drop earth spec altogether.
