Hi, Guys

I just created my first Dervish build using GWFreaks Software and I'm looking for comments And suggestions from all the experienced Dervishes out there. I also created this post NOT to be an index of Dervish builds but to be a place for a new dervish to: Post their build ==> and ask for suggestions on improvement. I would also like the more experienced Dervishes to answer the newer ones questions, give suggestions to them, or even post a build that you used at their stage in the game and see if it would benefit them. People Please Use Constructive Criticism when trying to help improve someones build. Here is how I would like the format to be (a ' * ' means it is optional to be in your post):

*A Short Introduction to your build Goes here.

Equipment:

Head: Armour Name: Armor=+__ (+__ while); Other Attributes=+__;
Chest: Armour Name: Armor=+__ (+__ while); Other Attributes=+__;
Legs: Armour Name: Armor=+__ (+__ while); Other Attributes=+__;
Hands: Armour Name: Armor=+__ (+__ while); Other Attributes=+__;
Feet: Armour Name: Armor=+__ (+__ while); Other Attributes=+__;
Weapon: Weapon Name: Damage=__ - __ + __%; (Requires: __ Scythe Mastery);

And Heres the Build:

Then just copy your build from GWFreaks Software export window, and there you go.

Please only post template codes if you don't have time to do all this.
Note: You don't have to do the "Styling" like Underlining and italics... Just your build... I just like to make stuff look cool...

I will post an example below this post...

This build I made is basically for beginning Dervishes like myself on Istan up to about level 11 to 12. This build includes all skills accessible on the island, also. (I use a Major Mysticism Rune because I don't want to buy a Minor one as I already bought a Major on accident

).

Chest: Blessed Elonian Robes: Armor=40 (+10 while enchanted); Health=+25;
Legs: Blessed Elonian Leggings Of Minor Earth Prayers: Armor=40 (+10 while enchanted); Energy Rec.=+1;
Hands: Blessed Instani Vambraces Of Major Mysticism: Armor=40 (+10 while enchanted); Energy=+5;
Feet: Blessed SunSpear Shoes Of Minor Vigor: Armor=40 (+10 while enchanted); Energy Rec.=+1;
Weapon: SunTouched Scythe: Damage=9 - 21 + 20%; (Requires 5 Scythe Mastery);

Ok, well, to begin with, let's look at your build.

Zealous Renewal is really not a good skill. In fact, without an IAS, it's really rather pointless (as you won't gain much more energy from it than you lose casting it). Attacker's Insight is significantly better for energy management, even at very low wind prayers.

Heart of Holy Flame isn't really that good either. A better skill would be Eternal Aura (on Istan, the AoE from it is a great source of damage).

Without the mysticism skills, you could then put the attribute points from it into wind prayers to further fuel attacker's insight (for best results, use it with chilling victory and then pious assault).

My 2 cents.
- Your 8th skill isn't worthy. You've got only 8 skills, why do you want to take one you won't use during the exploration ? Either find a unlimited rez or let heroes/henchmen do the job.
- I don't like Pious assault. In fact I don't like to strip myself from any boost I can have.
- You need to spam attack skills. Currently you only have three attack skills, two of them with high recharge, then you do mere scythe attacks between each eremite's attack.
