change radiant insignia into survivor insignia. You don't need that much energy, your e-management is fine

Wouldn't mind playing it If i was the dervish. I however have a bad luck of splinter weapon hero's not casting it on themselves. If it is the only melee (or coupled with another melee splinter scythe) then I guess they would cast it on themselves.

If they use splinter and ancestors right, then yeah, looks solid.

I would ditch FoMF for rez signet, just because I prefer rez sig more, and Usually when I need more then rez signet, I would need someone to run away and come back with rebirth instead. But that's just me.

Also the healing scythe attack, I would swap with eremites, But I suppose dervs do need some kind of survival skill anyways..... Depends on what you prefer.

My experience with this build (running two of these) is that if you put em on "guard" in stead of "aggresive" (or whatever its called) they spam splinter on them self, each other - and other melee/bow chars in the party (which imo is ok) - and they tend to spam ancestors more when they're on "guard"

problem is sometimes when i put splinter on heroes(melee) they tend to use it on anyone but themselfes,i mean even if im alone with 1 hero (ranger for ex) he will put splinter on me than on him even tho im a spellcaster.

At first glance I thought that this was a primary ritu build since I couldn't wrap my head around the 12 in Channeling.
Why raise it above 10?

1. more dmg

2. i started off having imbue health in the bar - and the heroes just couldt manage it - so i went for 12 channeling.

And the few pts of energy and health just wasnt worth it (imo)

EDIT: @ legacyofkain85

Just dont use melee weapons on ur casters (works here - damn fashion ^^)
