I tried something like this on guru before, but failed horribly. I suppose I did not give enough information as to what I wanted, this is quite long, so to entice you guys, there will be prizes.
Read on to find out more.
About me & what I’m looking for;
I’ve played guild wars for approximately a year straight; have played all characters from monk to tank & nuke, but have only found Monk & Assassin to be the most viable.
Cut down to 3-4 characters, and trying to deck out my dervish. But before I deck out any character, I make 3-4 builds that I will LOVE to play. Dervishes? Aren’t really my thing. Let alone dervish builds. Sure, I’ve seen all the normal builds people always use. But have yet to see something unique & viable. Me? I PVP some, but I am NOT looking for PVP builds, I have made those for my dervish. I am strictly looking for PVE builds.
What I don’t like;
• Forms(Avatars) I like to look at my character when I play.
• The two elite scythe attacks[wounding strike, reapers sweep] (Unless used in a way I might have never seen before)
• Leveling up multiple titles to use a build
I love PvE only skills if they are useful, and most of the time greatly powered, but leveling hard titles or (multiple titles) will get annoying. Please (obviously) limit your PVE only skill use per build to 3 (since its all you can put in), and please, do NOT have me get a title over r6 (r4 kurzick/luxon) to be USEABLE. Also, please do not have me have to max more than one or two titles over r6 to be useable.
• Things I’ve seen before. Don’t give me PVX builds, or common builds. I want unique, builds that make me think. I am not asking for a super build that impossible to create, or some secret hidden build, I want a build not many people have thought of using, or thought of it being useful.
• Using the dervish as a tank and/or pure self healer. These are the only builds I’ve been able to see. I have made derv healers, but not affective PVE derv healers.
You may;
• Use PVE Skills [Read above]
• Design the build to be around any secondary character
• Use any type of weapon
• Have it be anything [interrupter,damage,condition spam] Please no TANKS.
Requirements;
• Follow what has been said above
• Energy management/and or adrenal management for your build
• Unique builds are appreciated & desirable, things I never would have thought of, but please don’t make me a 55 PVE derv.
I would much rather prefer a build that only a dervish could make viable, or a build that favors dervish, else I could make a PVE build that could go on any character based around summoning and stuff. Please make a dervish build, so when i play my dervish, im really playing a dervish.
Need to know more to make me my perfect build? Read below.
To make a build I’d like, you probably need to know what I usually do in the game.
Firstly, I have all three campaigns. Secondly, I don’t PUG & only go with heroes + my friends and + their heroes
We usually hm/nm uw/fow/dungeons including orr, ooze, and slavers.
My derv will also normally have judges insight on itself; no earth/cold/etc changes in weapon PLEASE.
We usually bring;
Two damage dealers [us]
N/mo Supportive BLOOD
Me/N Interr/Blood
N/mo Supportive BLIND CURSES [not physical support curse]
N/RT & Mo/me and/or RT/mo Hero healers
Optional; Smiters for hard hitting areas that are susceptible to HOLY damage.
First prize is 20,000g (20k) in game gold.
Second prize is 5,000 (5k) in game gold.
These go to the people who have made the best builds.
Time allotted; til I find my build(s) & test them.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. ; Angie
I will search forever if i have to, but i am CONFIDENT that there is a dervish build out there for me.
This is pretty stupid...you wanna ignore all the good elite skills because you don't like avatars and Wounding Strike and Reapers are...well I dunno what you think they are but lets add them to that list anyway. You're left with a bunch of crap elites and will at best get a mediocre build out of this. I think you should probably just avoid playing a Dervish. Get back on you're sin or monk since they are the most "viable" class.
