EveryoneI know tells me to get a warrior over a dervish ..

One Skill determines everything. [Earth Shaker] And another defies. [Fleeting Stability]

Warriors have [earth shaker] [dragon slash], are powerful in general, have high armor and resilience and the ability to deal damage without relying on strippable enchantments. Are useful in PvP and High-end PvE.

Dervs CAN do somethings better than warriors under the right circumstances though.

IMO War>>>Derv Yawn... you almost know what your talking about.

Anyway, a standard warrior using a sword or a Hammer is going to be doing less damage then a Dervish with a scythe, but with the fairly recent buff to [warrior's endurance] warriors can use a scythe and spam attacks like there's no tomorrow.

Assassins have it pretty good with a scythe as well since you can use enchantments like [critical eye] and/or [way of the master] that increase your chance of a critical hit which means more damage, more energy, and the ability to maintain key enchantments like critical agility and critical defenses indefinitely during battle.

The only reason to make a dervish over those two classes would be because you think they look cooler or if you specifically wanna use an Avatar build. Sad but true.

The warrior is more commonly used in, and serves a distinct purpose in pvp.

However, Avatars themselves are more than enough reason to make a dervish your main. Avatars can serve as utility, healing, and extra dps all rolled into one. Of course, they are only truly effective in PvE where they can be kept up practically 100% of the time b/c of Eternal Aura.

As for sins, although the OP suggested the choice would only be between derv and war, they are quite effective in pve, but crit scythe builds rely mostly on enchants that can be stripped. Dervs rely somewhat on enchants too, but stripping an enchant off a derv can only result in more energy to fuel those attks.

My bet is you plan on alot of PvE, in which case I suggest Dervish, but keep the warrior/sin close by when you get bored of title grinding

avatars are a fun game mechanic

most warrier elites are basicaly
hit foe(s) in the face really hard!
dervs can transform into a god, THEN go hit foes in the face really hard Where is your AoE knockdown?
