Interesting to say the least

Holy...
Maybe I should hurry up and beat EotN with my Derv now before this hits just so I don't have to relearn the entire class.

Increased emphasis on inflicting conditions... hopefully not at the expense of decreased direct damage, for PvE that is. I'm not a PvPer, but somehow I'd really like to see how this new Dervish aquits itself in non-faceroll game modes.
Crom The Pale
Sounds quite good to me, I may actually have to delete a char and roll a new Dervish.
Dratyan
My main character is a dervish, and even though I don't play anymore, I might return just to see if those (big)changes will actually work. If it is as Stumme said I'll probably enjoy this new style for the profession.
go cubs
Haha holy shit, my mains a derv and I am fairly close to Gwamm (Need vanquishes and guardians to go)
I will need to learn it all again hahaha.

Ayuhmii Shanbwa
they... say... how far they are???
wow, this is real nice
i'm gonna try to get a draconic scythe later on, so my derv may see the light of GW again
its a real surprise that we get to see this (both derv update preview and info about how far % they are)
and from what i read, i'll use my derv more often not long from now
derv being new AND having new mechanics, yay

Wow...I think I need to remake my Dervish now...
This should be awesome!

Hehe, enchantments that work like stances. I think this had actually been suggested by me before. Having to stop chasing a kiting guy to reapply an enchant really prevents Dervs from being effective melee classes in PvP.
Steps_Descending
From first skimming : instant cast enchant, more condition (an old dervish theme, for those who remember the very-early NF days) and some mecanics "borrowed" from the various gods (classes)... interesting!
added :I hope some of those changes make it into PvP (expecially flahs enchants)

Flash Enchantments and Mysticism A bigger mechanic change than the avatar skills is the addition of a new type of enchantment. Flash enchantments are spells that can be cast instantly and will not stop your movement if you are running. |
I would love to see this idea used for other classes aswell.

Can't wait to pvp against these new dervs. They sound dangerous!
SpiritThief
I just started playing for keeps on my ranger but it looks like my old drunkard may make a come back with these.

Now because I'm the only person who cares about how PvE monsters and enemies work after updates, should I be worried about Joko's Domain now even more and/or vanquishing Nightfall?

'Is this really happening!?' - my reaction
Looks good, almost like adding new class to the game. I'm looking forward to see even more changes and of course live update.
Hope this time dervish will be more viable in PvP and shake the meta a little bit.

| Use Aura Slicer to inflict Cracked Armor and Bleeding to your target and follow up the damage with an initial hit from Heart of Holy Flame. Get a few hits in on your foe with holy damage on their lowered armor, then strip it off with Pious Fury. When you strip off Heart of Holy Flame, your foes will be set on fire. For even more damage, wait until it almost runs out before using Reap Impurities. |

Adrenal scythe attacks?
Yes please!

I hope they take into account what the update will mean for FA/JQ. (Fa mostly.) Its fairly clear neither place was taken into consideration when the mesmer update was released. We don't need dervish garbage akin to mindless wd/ww mesmers running around.
S00per Dave
As a player who plays the casters more than melee, this update has me worried about dervishes in general and not just those with Vow Of Silence. O_o Will definitely have to have a better meat shield in the group.
ChrisCo
I'm wondering what they have done with the scythe, im figuring upped the minimum dmg or even attack speed.

The new Avatar of Balthazar would work wonders with a 3 paragon hero team.
Increased adrenaline would fuel 'Save Yourselves' easily and you're still less squishy because of the increased armor and the burning will help when bringing 'They're on Fire!' on a para hero.

How did this thread get to thirty-two posts without someone pointing out that the game now has an interrupt with a casting time of zero?
Enjoy getting your Infuse interrupted.

This won't affect GW whatsoever, and adrenaline for dervish: yay is all i can say.

I guess I'm just staring at the synergy options which I wonder if the devs have looked at. AoB + Heart of Holy flame + any spammable dervish enchant = constant burning which is pretty useful for a whole lot of other class skills you can bring on heroes, like Searing Flames, They're on Fire, Steam, Earthern Shackles, etc...

Wow, gonna take some time to read up on all new changes.
Interesting with an update that will basically break every current D/Any or Any/D build in the game lol. Not saying it's a bad thing of course, but they might just soon mass-move every Dervish builds on gwpvx.com to the historical archives
And all your Dervish templates, you might as well soon move them into a historical folder as well.
The good thing it will stir new life in an old game, people who might have gotten tired of the game will suddenly find something new and different, basically a new profession.
Hm, and what will the lore seekers in Druid's Overlook come up with for such a massive change? A major cataclysm among the gods resulting in a major power leak forever altering every Dervish in the game?

Methinks it will be a good idea to stock up on dervish tomes and scythe mods before the big rush.
