Overall, however, I'd have to say Dwayna. MAinly because I use it for FoW solo farming. In the FoW that is one of few spots it is sort of maybe a place where I would use [skill]Avatar of Balthazar[/skill] but Avatars such as [skill]Avatar of Melandru[/skill],[skill]Avatar of Lyssa[/skill] And[skill]Avatar of Dwayna[/skill] are useful in most aspects opposed to only a few. Who doesn't want +20 energy and extra dealing damage or health and Immunity to conditions or even healing every time a skill is used?

You mean, Balthazar's takes no thought or skill to use? Who'd have thunk it.

4. Grenth (charming but largely irrelevant)
5. Balthazar (go play a Warrior.)
Apparently, when it comes to Dervs, females rule. Melandru - isnt overpowered, unless youre facing a team that relies on conditions to win. Without condition pressure, melandru is a waste of elite.
Dwayna - is underused, imo better than melandru.
Lyssa - good damage vs any builds/situations
Grenth - enchantment removal ftww??? hardly irrelevant bud... unfortunately most people chose to use this for looks alone (lol like this d/n with a staff I saw in ab the other day lol) and have no clue how good it is
Balthazar- good for AB/pve. not 'go play a warrior' by any means.
each has its use and useless. I dont like to play dervish these days, retired mine to a farming character.

Im going to take a shot in the dark and say you didnt understand what i wrote
I meant that with balthazar you dont have to.. worry so much about losing the avatar.. its just easier to manage everything in general
i would deffinately use melandru if it was less energy and lasted longer
untill then its just too hard to manage and keep it up indefinately
then the others i just find useless in most situations

Because, you know... No-one throws Deep Wound onto a spike, nobody ever runs a cripshot, and blind doesn't exist anywhere?
Oh, and being able to spam Eviscerate isn't at all overpowered, too.

How and where is it good for AB/PvE use? Its already been covered why its useless in PvE, due to the fact that non-elites can provide the same benefit. If you mean its good in AB because of the 33% speed boost, I recommend you take another look at your non-elite list again.

Burst just realizes the silliness of taking an elite because its easier to use. What good is ease of use if it does nothing more than occupy your elite slot? |

+40 armor is a poor excuse for a survivability buff, 33% speed boost is unnecessary at best, and holy damage is better achieved other ways. I don't know which of these you think makes Balthazar a worthy use for your elite skill.
At least with:
Lyssa, you can kill things insanely fast and spam more attack skills with the {significantly} higher energy.
Dwayna, you can remove nasty hexes in a few areas that make it worth while, and give yourself some great healing.
Melandru, enjoy condition immunity and spam Wearying Strike til your finger turns purple.

It's probably been said to death, but why does the god of war's avatar *not* do any more damage or attack any faster?
Y'know... I'm a little bad when it comes to thinking of power combinations, but the idea of using melandru + attack skills that imposed a negative condition on you is intriguing!
