why is there no D/R

Or Dshot. You should try it. It's loads of fun. This, any person with a ranger primary or secondary should carry Dshot. It's hard to find something more entertaining than KD with Dev Hammer, quarter knock with Bash, and then quarterrupt with Dshot

In my oppionion the idea of posioning a sythe to do aoe damage with one of the skills that deals damage to all creatures around you is essential. That and troll urgent I believe it's called is another vital skill. These are just some of the reason I think this class works especially the abillity to posioning your weapon when a dervish can do at times a lot of aoe damage with his sythe Troll urgent is pretty bad.

Also, why waste time poisoning when you can just kill?

1. D and R are two of the weakest classes in GW right now. Combining them isn't exactly a great idea.

2. When running a physical damage dealer, you must always answer the question: "Does my secondary contribute as much as SY! would?" The answer is almost always "no." Hence P/W, A/W, D/W, R/W... What he said.

If you're the only physical in your team, taking SY is the best option in any scenario. 2x SY is optimal really.

well i was thinking about this one day and d/r actually makes sense because of one key skill, symbiosis! Dervishes are basically enchanted tanks, so symbiosis would help it out immensely when tanking or u could try to solo farm with it. There are better things out there, but there are also worse It also makes mobs much harder to kill. Unless you are running an orders team that skill should never meet your bar.

Aside from EDA and maybe VoS with volley, d/r is a pretty poor class. There's no need for defensive abilities when you're in the backline with a bow. Adding a pet might also seem usefull but unless you are investing in BM you are left with a semi-useless meatshield.
