Dervish Build for torment area

i use multiple builds but the best one for my is:
Avatar of balthaza
Lysaa attack
Chilling victory
Eternal aura
Sunspear Rebirth sig(if wiht other players)
Zealous Renewal
Mystic Regeneration
Faithful Intervention Don't listen to this fool, his build sucks.

Torment, imo isn't much harder than anywhere else. Therefore, you can just use a general PvE bar - and plenty have been posted around this section.

In general, Balthazar doesn't do much. Lyssa and Melandru are the best avatars for PvE. This might sound like a newbie question (and it may be) but, why is Melandru and Lyssa better?

This might sound like a newbie question (and it may be) but, why is Melandru and Lyssa better? Balthazar gives +33% speed boost and +40 armour. Now, neither of those effects is bad per se, but the thing is that speedboosts don't do much in PvE (most enemies stay in one place in NM), and that +40 armour doesn't seem as nice when you realize that it doesn't stack with the ubiquitous "Watch Yourself!" or with stances like Conviction. It also makes your damage holy, which is nice vs. Undead, but Aura of Holy Might does the same and it's an incredibly good skill.

Melandru on the other hand gives you +100 health and immunity to conditions. 100 health is no small amount, and it certainly ups your survival ability. Conditions are also present in most PvE areas, and AoM means your monk has one less person they need to remove them from.

Lyssa gives you high bonus damage vs foes activating skills. Since caster foes tend to spam like crazy, that means that you get that bonus on at least half your attacks against said caster foes. More damage = win.

This might sound like a newbie question (and it may be) but, why is Melandru and Lyssa better? Lyssa damages the Heck out of a foe if they are casting spells or anything slow Rez spells Etc..

Melandru – plus 200 HP and conditions do not affect you (awesome)
Take an -1 +15 energy off hand with you just incase you get a neg DP

This might sound like a newbie question (and it may be) but, why is Melandru and Lyssa better? Because they actually do something.

[skill]avatar of lyssa[/skill][skill]wild blow[/skill] Take those 2 and fill in the rest of your bar with a res and other crap all you really need for PvE... You forgot to mention that [skill]Eremite's Attack[/skill], [skill]Mystic Sweep[/skill] and [skill]Protector's Strike[/skill] should be stapled to your lyssa bar.

My Dervish Bar:

Radiant Scythe, Eremites Attack, Zealous Sweep, Wild Blow, Distracting Strike, Avatar of Lyssa{E}, Eternal Aura, Sunspear Rebirth Signet 5 attack skills Only 1 is timed yet no IAS. Fail.

My bar:

[skill]Mystic Sweep[/skill][skill]Eremite's Attack[/skill][skill]Protector's Strike[/skill][skill]Wild Blow[/skill][skill]Rush[/skill][skill]Avatar Of Lyssa[/skill] + Eternal Aura + Res.

5 attack skills Only 1 is timed yet no IAS. Fail.

My bar:

[skill]Mystic Sweep[/skill][skill]Eremite's Attack[/skill][skill]Protector's Strike[/skill][skill]Wild Blow[/skill][skill]Rush[/skill][skill]Avatar Of Lyssa[/skill] + Eternal Aura + Res. no AoHM? really?

Wild Blow
Eremite's attack
Mystic sweep
"I am the Strongest!" (or Rez when not using H/H)
Lyssa
Eternal Aura
HoF
AoHM

This might sound like a newbie question (and it may be) but, why is Melandru and Lyssa better? Avatar of Balthazar is a collage of mediocre effects stabled together into one big mediocre elite skill. None of the effects that AoB gives you are worth gibing up your elite for and nearly all of them can be achieved with non-elite skills anyway.
