I think many dervish used ursan too, as me. The dervish is so powerful class, but u have to know to play it...˙(hmm sounds rly stupid) After the Ursan nerf i was thinking on builds, etc..Until i found this:

[Zealous Vow][Lyssa's haste][natural healing][Flurry][Protector's strike][Eremite's attack][mystic sweep][victorious sweep]

Attributes:
12 + 1 +1 Scythe Mastery
12 Wind Prayers
3 Mysticism ( You dont need mysticism cause you gain energy with Zealous Vow )

I'm asking you: What you think about this build?
It's tested, pretty good in my hands, maybe on others too ^^

TY and plz close my other threads ^^

I'd swap Lyssa's Haste and Natural healing for something else. Save Yourselves is always a good choice on a derv bar.

A better IAS/IMS might be whirling charge-no damage reduction, IMS and IAS and with your attribute in wind prayers should be fairly consistent throughout battle.

Vow is always going to be up, so natural healing is not the best idea. If you place lyssa's haste with another enchant, dwayna's touch might not be a bad swap in for natural healing. And with two enchantments, Mystic sweep is dealing only +18-20 damage per swing. You can replace it with stronger/higher energy skills since you have vow. I can see Radiant Scythe working very well with this...and yes, Save Yourselves is a beast if you're hitting 3 targets at once.

With Mysticism 4 and Mystic Vigor you'd atleast get 9 health back from the 7 you lose.. :[

Energy loss seems fine in this build since you're getting it back fast. Whirling Charge does seem like the better choice though.

Does Zealous Vow on a Dervish result in +1 pips overall, or -3?

Does the -3 simply subtract from the total pips?

I haven't tested the build so plz no flaming if it works great...but since this is for PvE(right? Ursan?) why would you need running skills? Also protector's strike(or w/e) only does that when you hit a moving foe...which is less likely as mobs don't kite as much...and I've never seen a build with such low mysticism O_o but maybe you don't need it in this build.
Oh yeah ty for UB nerf...see...it increases build diversity!

Lyssa's Haste is to maintain energy when moving (since you're not hitting to regain energy). Protector's Strike is to simulate IAS since it has faster than normal attack speed (0.5 versus scythes' 1.75 seconds).

Flurry drops base damage though, and should be swapped out for a better IAS.

Also, 3 Mysticism still gets you 1 energy and 3 health when an enchantment ends (lol).

Quite frankly, with the attribute spread you posted above, I doubt you'd be able to spend the excess attribute points anywhere useful, so you may as well get the slight health and energy boost due to triggering Mysticism.

I think you should get [Flail] instead of [Flurry]
