It's a nice concept, but I'd rather just use Prot Spirit.

1) Heart of Fury? Pious Fury is infinity more useful in a build using Pious Renewal
2) Eternal Aura is meh. A slot better used elsewhere
3) Kinetic armor.. ok, it's a set-is-and-forget-it +60 armor in this build to net you, like, what... 150 armor with insignias ? Why does a dervish need 150 armor and a PvE anti-wipe skill? Are you planning on getting wiped or is all that just insurance?

I mean, good on you for finding the synergy, but in most cases, a simple Prot Spirit and just being more efficient in battle will be more useful to you...

...unless, I add, you're team is built around adrenal-feeding Twin Moon Sweep, to which I imagine it, and pious Assault, will be used almost constantly. At that point you could spec 10 points into healing prayers for mending and it'd hardly make a difference, so go for it.

I think this post takes the cake.

There really needs to be a short message upon entering this forum that beating NM/HM in no way makes a build 'good' or not. To determine whether something is good or not you need to give factual numbers along with comparisons to other well-known good builds or else your opinion really means nothing at all.

Why you people think Pious Renewal works well with Kinetic Armor I don't know. You realize that renewing Kinetic Armor every second doesn't make it more powerful, right? It lasts 8 damn seconds (10 with enchant mod), you can upkeep it just fine with a variety of non-elite flash enchant if your objective is your own personal safety (and screw the rest of the team).

Also, as an advice to anyone posting a new thread: You don't need a TL;DR for a OP of just a few sentences. It, along with massive overusage of exclamation points, appears very childish and doesn't exactly invite people to take you seriously.

Perhaps because it helps people with poor concentration skills upkeep KA? The bigger problem, in my eyes, is that maintaining KA is stupid goal to begin with.

What!?! Not liking exclamation points makes you stupid and mean! I posted a build with lots of armor! So you must take me seriously!

tl;dr: Kunder is mean!

This reminds me of all the tank debates on warrior forums. Theres 2 things im gonna say.

1 if theres no enchant removal then just run Prot Spirit & SoA on a hero and micro it onto urself as you take aggro, and then ull be fine.
2 If there is enchant removal, or ur running this option you have access to elites which will give you better damage.
