I just started a Dervish not long ago and I finished the Game, got to DoA.

I was still new there a few days ago, until I "found out" the Obsidian Tank build..

I was just wondering if there are some more dervish builds for DoA..

or did I make a mistake making a dervish, cause for me DoA is the main spot of Nightfall

Dervish tanks are inferior to warrior or ele ones, the PUGs won't all pick you. The D/E doesn't have any sure-fire anti-interrupt mechanism, so it can screw up, and that can mean failure for the team. Many people don't wanna take that risk.

I'm also new to DoA, and I have a question kind of similar. I used to Urgoz Warren alot when the longbow was 200-300k, so I am used to this kind of stuff.

It says on Wiki that when fighting Mallyx (the last part of the quest right?) "Ritualists are perhaps the best class built to deal with Mallyx, as they do not rely on enchantments. He has no way to deal with Spirits or Weapon Spells, making these useful for defeating him. Displacement and Shelter are very potent in containing Mallyx on his own."

My main is a rit and I would like to play DoA, but when I go into the Gate of Anguish, there isn't any Rits. Couldn't a rit replace the bonder or something by having Shelter? I heard many people die to Mallyx from his enchant strip.
