New to Derv

K so far i've (when i bought NF) started a derv, did the first 3 quests after learning skills, and deleted it... just so i could get some skills for pvp.. Now i want to revisit the alt... Any advice on a starting Derv?

i'd assume you're talking about PvE. If so, buy some Dervish tomes and unlock the following skills: Heart of Fury, Mystic regeneration, conviction(maybe), Attacker's Insight(if you have EoTN), and a few scythe skills you like. Get max armor. Don't wammo and aggro a lot of mobs(which is why many perceive pve dervs as "noob")
As always, the avatars imo are probably the most fun skills to play(at first...) so when you get to main island do cap them. Grenth kinda sux, but everything else is usable...if you get an elite Dervish tome though, DO NOT waste it on this. Unlock Wounding Strike and use it.
I can't think of anything more right now...
Have fun playing dervish!!

K well I have Nightfall as the last one i bought... But, I have never gotten a tome before.. How do i unlock them? I've caped skills before too. So i don't wanna be the damage taker of the group? (PvE)
