Fun Dervish Builds

Sand Shards with Signet of Midnight and a buttload of IAS with Eternal Aura is hilarious. The build looks like;

[Sand Shards][Signet of Midnight][Eternal Aura][Heart of Fury][Conviction][Optional][Optional] I've seen this build on PvX for Raptor Farming. But even at 25 damage a pop with 15 Scythe Mastering, isn't the killing quite slow?

To that build, though, I'd augment it with GDA instead of Conviction.

I can say from personal experience that no one expects the RoJ derv. Not even the spanish inquisition. It is a really fun build to play. Especially when you're fighting someone in melee and you cast it and they die because they can't get unstuck from you fast enough.

I also saw someone using Pious Renewal, Mystic Sandstorm, and a bunch of quick-activating enchantments for some nice nuking. One of these days I'm going to have to try it. I had lots of fun in JQ lately playing around with a RoJ dervish. My favorite part is when a warrior comes charging in, starts attacking and missing due to Mirage Cloak, I use Mystic Regeneration and/or Vital Boon to build up some hp, and them BAM! RoJ, Castigation Signet/Bane Signet and it dies soon, probably due to confusion xD It's also funny dropping RoJ on shrines and running off with Pious Haste or something while having massive hp regen. Seems like people just don't know how to deal with you, and it's fun.

...I so want to try an RoJ Derv now. Or a fire nuker. Just because the mental picture I have of that (as well as the reactions of whoever I'm playing with) is priceless.

I've also been meaning to try out a Mystic Sandstorm nuker, too, just because it sounds like fun. And also because my friend I usually play with would be like "um. What the heck did you just do?" A Mystic Sandstorm nuker is fun, but doesn't dish out enough damage by itself. My friend and I tried syncing JQ once to try it out, and it was fun. Using Aura of Displacement to shadow step inside a shrine mob, with Faithful Intervention, Vital Boon, Mirage Cloak on. We then used some sort of AoE damage, like Dust Aura, and then bam! Mystic Twister, Mystic Sandstorm, and you're teleported out. Although we had to sync everything to kill the whole mob, it was fun.

And the damage stack between Mystic Twister and Mystic Sandstorm = oww.

Yep, I'm noting this down to try in the future.
