Dervish/Necromancer
Level: 20
Mysticism: 9 (8+1)
Scythe Mastery: 14 (12+1+1)
Earth Prayers: 8 (7+1)
Death Magic: 8
- Armor of Sanctity (Earth Prayers) / Mystic Vigor (Mysticism) for longer duration which means less energy intensive
- Tainted Flesh [Elite] (Death Magic)/ Wounding Strike [Elite] (Scythe Mastery)
- Withering Aura (Death Magic)
- Mystic Sweep (Scythe Mastery)
- Eremite's Attack (Scythe Mastery)
- Crippling Sweep (Scythe Mastery)
- Mystic Regeneration (Earth Prayers)
- Resurrection Signet ( )
I considered Vital Boon (Earth Prayers) but I didn't put in Victorious Sweep/Crippling Victory/Chilling Victory so it wouldn't be as useful. Reap Impurities is too much recharge and energy to consider.
I also considered Virulence as the elite but there's no synergy with the Dervish profession. Aura of the Lich (combined with mystic Regen) could provide a more resilient platform, but Aura of the Lich is 2 cast...
The idea is condition stacking with Weakness as the base. 9 Mysticism gives 3 energy return.
================================================== ====
Dunno if this will work since I don't have a PvE Dervish, but I was looking for a use of Withering Aura. Originally I thought of using Vow of Strength but it didn't seem to be worth the elite slot without damage enchantments.
This is meant for a hero and I avoid using PvE skills because of that.
Withering Aura?

I prefer to put aura on my mm, if I take any. They have 14+ death magic anyway.

you cant use tainted flesh like that, your party will hate you. if using tainted, you have to maintain it on your entire party.

It's a work in progress. I guess one of the optionals (Wounding Strike) is a better option. Keep in mind that this is PvE, so most things will not be human.
Dervish really isn't my thing so thanks for any input regardless

use rotting flesh instead then

rotting flesh doesn't give energy return, costs 15 energy, and has 3 cast time. I'm sure that doesn't fit on a dervish.

Kournans, Corsairs, Am Fah, Jade Brotherhood, White Mantle. These are human and I think you fight plenty of kournans and corsairs in NF 
.
And some monsters use plague sending so your team will hate you

And some monsters use plague sending so your team will hate you they'll hate you for using deep wound/cracked armor/blind too, what is the difference? Unless your party is so clumped (adjacent range) that disease will spread...
I'm not saying use Tainted everywhere, but it is viable when you know you won't be facing humans.

I would kick you from my team if you were bringing tainted and only planning on using it on yourself, lets put it that way.

Why not veil of thorns?

You should really use victorious sweep in PvE. It heals with every hit that you AoE on mobs if the condition is met. (Your hp is higher than theirs.)

LifeInfusion is back, with some more bad builds that took 2 minutes of thought!

You have 7 other guys on your team. To fit curses or death necro into it should not be much of a problem.
And they can provide conditions like weakness or disease much better than you. But Withering Aura is okay and a nice idea, and Wounding Strike works, too. Tainted Flesh is quite a waste.
Still, you can make pure Dervish builds and as I already said, others can provide you that support and you can save your attribute points and put them in Mysticism.
Putting Tainted Flesh on a Dervish Hero is total BS, he will go nuts and cast Tainted Flesh on everyone, but as a Dervish he needs to attack stuff with his scythe. He cannot do both, so better make a specialized Necro for that or do it yourself.

Notice the ? in the title. I haven't tested it because I don't have a PvE Dervish. It's a CONCEPT.

If something works why would I bother asking for suggestions 
And if you scroll up I don't have a PVE dervish and it's really not my playstyle so I do need help with it.
