Is there any REAL reason for a Dervish to play Factions? I know there is no Dervish skills [elite or otherwise] in Cantha. So if a Dervish is not interested in Factions titles; why should he visit Cantha?

thing is, I've got Prophecy and EotN and gonna buy Factions and NF to get more skills for my Ele. I'm thinking of making another toon for the new campaigns I'm buying- either a sin or a Dervish. seems to me if I make a sin I get the most out of the two new campaigns I'm buying(more skill hunting and gears); whereas with a Dervish Factions might kinda go to waste; except for AB I guess. Hence the above question.

Well, first of all - there is [aura of holy might] which is godly, but you can get that from your GH.

But the big question would be:
Are you sure you don't want to PvP instead? Because what you are asking is why do PvE if you don't like it?
You don't need to.
Play PvP.
And if you don't like that either - then you are playing a wrong game.


I'd play with a non-native character, that gets no new skills, though the chapter of choice because it's fun.
That's a REAL enough reason for me.

I'd say to enjoy the campaign. Like questing, doing missions and all. Doesn't matter much which profession you are using.

What Arduinna said. Enjoy it for the quests and missions. But if it's skills and such you're after, then yea, PvP would be the reason.

You mean AB? well, fortunately I do love the pvp of GW. IMHO its much better than a lot of other MMO's out there.

I think that the whole Factions campaign it's very nice, and i did it for the first time with my dervish having great fun.

BTW, rolling trought Cantha wearing Monument Dervish Armour it's cool

You can also get the green Draconic scythe after killing Shiro, which is a skin many like.

However, I agree there is not a lot going on in Cantha for Dervs.

Well, going to Cantha lets you unlock some useful skills for your heroes, like necro skills to make Olias a minion master. Other than that, there's no real point of going there with your Dervish.

In my opinion it boils down to: Dervishes are fun to play; Factions is fun to play. Do it.

Also, though a paltry prize these days, it's nice to have a couple of the end-game collector greens available if you need them for a hero or a niche build. Plus, as stated, Deep and Urgoz can be funtastically good.

[Aura of Holy Might]["Save Yourselves!"](yes some dervs like me use that).
Deep, Urgoz, quests, missions, Nm and HM books, stuff like that.

AoHM is virtually compulsory outside of PvP, and SY is overpowered. So I'd say more than some do.

You don't need to go through factions to get allegiance skills, and you don't have to go through factions to AB.

Anyways, go through it for the sake of going through it. Get titles, do books, etc. There's no new weapons/armor you can get (other than green scythe after beating shiro), but there's a whole campaign.
