Universal class?

Hi there,

Ive been away from GW for awhile but plan on making a come back! Lol. The look of a Dervish has really interested, due to the fact that if later on playing with it i can always change the secondary class to change playstyle. As i can get bored of the same thing lol. Eg because of the the energy of the Dervish i can effectively become say a mesmer? Obvioulsy id lose that classes primary attribute but the Dervishs armour can compensate for that.

Is this a viable idea?


Thanks

No. There is nothing as a true "universal" class and your example of wanting to become a mesmer is absolutely foolish.

There isn't a universal profession. U can run some builds of other classes, but isn't going to be the same thing.

There are viable options of classes becoming other classes, such as necros and eles becoming healers.

That said, there is no universal class, and trying to make a Dervish into a Mesmer isn't so solid. If you really want a different play style for a Dervish into a caster role, here's a PvX link on how to make you into an orders necro.

sometimes builds like that one work, but only because things like arcane orders synergize very well with the dervish primary attribute. something like trying to "be a mesmer" is a bad idea.

Signet of Illusion mesmer comes close, but it can't use elites, obviously.

[Master of Magic] or [Ether Renewal] on an ele - you can play any caster role - sorta...

for a Derv - no - not many options for running gd builds of other classes.

Maybe just [Arcane Zeal] - acting as a team support

Its viable, but not in the way you suggest. For a dervish caster, Look into wind prayers combined with some ele secondary skills. However, remember that no matter what, scythe damage owns whatever casting type build you come up with.

But its only pve, so have fun with it!
