Help for a newbe. o:

Hellow,

I just started Guild Wars some weeks ago.
[I have all campaigns]

I have choosen a Dervish..
I have already read the skills on wiki..
I made an own build but I'm not really happy with it..
I tryed to make an build with some attack skills and some health skills.
But that with the healing doesn't work that well.
Maybe somebody can recommend me some skills.

I read some theards here already but I dunno the "GW-Language".. xDD
Like AoE build and so.. I have no idea what that means .. ;P

This is my currently build:


[OgCjkyrG7OPXmL097LuFvjb4LA]

Twin Moon Sweep
Mystic Sweep
Victorious Sweep
Farmer's Scythe

Heart Of Fury
Vital Boon
Zealous Renewal
Avatar Of Grenth


My attributes:

Scythe Mastery +14
Mysticism +12
Earth Prayers +6

I would be glad for [nice] help. (:
Thank you.

Sorry for my English.

First, welcome to the world of guild wars as you are fairly new . Second, yes, "gw-language" can be confusing, and I sometimes have to be reminded of what some terms mean, but you will at least get used to some of the more commonly used ones. AoE is one of them, and it just mean Area of Effect. AoE builds means builds that deal damge to multiple enemies a lot, though I would think dervs do that naturally. With that out of the way, you mentioned looking at wiki etc, but you didn't mention reading the sticky on dervs? Here it is:http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/b...t10472307.html. It is a fairly helpful guide, especially for those new to the ways of the derv. I also think you should check out this website, which is a compilation of quite a few commonly used builds, http://www.gwpvx.com/PvX_wiki.

Now, some general advice. Once you get used to the game a bit, you will realise that being on the frontlines and self healing/healing in general don't usually go well together. It is best left to specialised healer heroes/henchies. However, if you do like that combination, then there is a derv build that is applicable to this situation. Dervs are probably the only class that can heal and be frontline at the same time. The build in question revolves around the avatar skills, Avatar of Dwayna. Just pop a couple of attacking teardown skills like wearying strike and some flash enchants like the Zealous renewal you have on your bar. When you have found the right combination of enchants and teardowns, and have worked out the timings, you can be a very powerful healer as well as a solid frontline character.

Hope this helps.

Since you're from Germany, you might want to take a look at a very nice German community over at http://www.wartower.de/news/ (I'm assuming you speak German :P) There is also a German version of GuildWiki here: http://www.guildwiki.de though I don't know how complete it is.
