War vs. Derv

Real men play warriors, pussies play dervishes and hit wounding strike on recharge hoping to kill something.
I also hate sins, paragons and ritualists... Core professions get things done.

dervs in pve

warriors in pvp by far. (funner, and less, gimmicky(wounding strike spammer!))

I have played both classes in pve and pvp, and I "I not every 1" like warrior better. I did not take to time to go over every post here so forgive me if i say something that is already said and accepted as a point of why warrior or derv is better.

Point 1: Something Warriors have over Dervs is knock downs. Ive been using Earth shaker, mokele smash, flail, enraging charge and For great justice a lot of pve for that passed year or so. With that as a base build you can keep 1-5 foes in knock down lock for about 8ish secs meaning they cant get out of any AoE that going on or hurt any 1, so you win in 2 ways. I find this more useful than Dervs ability to do Aoe, however not every thing can be knocked down and Dervs will excel in areas like that

Point 2: Wars dont need energy, but they do need adrenaline meaning unless you take something like FGJ and EC your going to be weaker at the start of the battle but stronger after 5 to 10 secs after the battle has started and will stay stronger. Dervs can just go in and start beating on stuff right away due to the need of energy, their power will go down after 10 to 30secs in to the battle, however you can use zealous weapon and fix this as long as you keep hitting things.

Point 3: Wars have a lot of IAS skills to pick from. When you add up the DPS, When you dont have a IAS your DPS is only half of what it would be if you have with a IAS. IAS works better with war than it does with dervs as well cause you get more adren and it will pumping up your DPS more. Dervs have 1 IAS that i know of and you cant stay in it 100% of the time like a war can. However a lot of dervs attack skills attack 25% faster than a war's attack and this makes it a lot easier to spike down a target with 3 or 4 attacks

So the 2 classes are very different, and depending on your play style will dictate what class you think is better. Im in love with hammers and knockdowns so i like warriors better but some other people may like the AoE and DPS that Dervs offer. They both are good but i feel more useful as a knockdown warrior cause im saving monks energy by keeping things knocked down and boosting my teams AoE DPS by keeping them knocked down.

SY says Hi.


nothing a dervish has can compete with an invincible party amiright?



aoe you say? earthshaker and triple chop

if your only reason for dervs is big damage, you fail. Moebius sins put out the highest dps in the game.

dervs have slightly better Dps than warriors because of the aoe, but sins actually have better survivability with [critical defense][critical agility][mystic regeneration]

warriors get chained kd's, invincible party, and the Dps is still very high.
