Default AoL Build

Hey guys, brand new here. I'm using this build right now, I was wondering what some others thought about it.

1. Avatar of Lyssa
2. Faithful Intervention
3. Eternal Aura
4. Mystic Regeneration
5. Mystic Vigor
6. Lyssa's Assault
7. Victorious Sweep
8. Wild Blow

It has pretty good energy upkeep and does a fair amount of damage.

You dont need Mystic reg, at least not for PvE... Chilling Victory is a great skill

Yeah, you don't need that much healing.. especially with all those god-mode team build nowadays. Try Asuran Scan for more damage (if you have EotN), and replacing Lyssa's Assault with Mystic/Eremite's for more DPS. Might even try replacing Wild Blow with Protector's strike or Eremite/Mystic, for even more DPS.

I personally wouldn't use Mystic Vigor, Lyssa's Assault and Mystic Regen, for Replacement for Lyssa's Assault would be, for me atleast, Zealous Sweep which usually nets me more energy then I would with lyssa's since lyssa's costs 10e. Instead of Mystic Vigor add in Asuran Scan (if possible) and instead of Mystic Regen add in Aura of Holy Might which you can get from your GH for 3000 kurzick or luxon faction, depends which alliance you're in. Hope I helped any .

I personally wouldn't use Lyssa...ever. But anyway, for a Lyssa build, I'd use Zealous Renewal due to the large energy pool and in the end a full recharge.

Drop Faithful, Mystic Regen, Lyssa's Assault, and Mystic Vigor...Dervs are meant for damage in PvE, not self preservation.

Bring Eremite's, Mystic Sweep, AURA OF HOLY MIGHT (Important<-), and Asuran Scan if you like, Wild Blow is nice for stance removal.

A decent PvE derv should be pulling 100+ On casters In HM

Here's the bar I'd use with Lyssa PvE

And the one I prefer more.

Yeah, way more healing than you need. I only have that much on me when I'm solo-ing things.

My Dervish does AoL pretty much exclusively, I run AoL, Eternal Aura, Vital Boon (eh, cheap enchant that's been stapled on my bar forever, it makes a great cover), Heart of Fury, Faithful Intervention, Mystic Sweep, Victorious Sweep, [optional].

The optional is generally a secondary profession skill, as I run D/Mo most of the time I use Dismiss Condition because I freaking hate being blinded and it's also a cheap mini-heal. I also had a lot of fun replacing Heart of Fury with Conjure Frost and putting Chilling Victory in as my optional - I did that for Hell's Precipice and I just massacred that mission. Haven't gotten Aura of Holy Might yet but once I do, Heart of Fury will likely go byebye.

I've never really found Zealous Renewal useful. My energy is nearly always full by the time it ends anyway, so there's no point to it. Ever since I finally got myself a zealous scythe, I've banished it from my bar entirely as it's just a waste of a slot.

As soon as I started using this build, I started to have second thoughts. Thanks for setting me straight.

I'd rather switch Vital Boon for AoHM, to keep an IAS on the bar. Personally, I can's stand hitting things without an IAS, it's just too slow.

I like Vital Boon. Cheap enchant that recharges quickly and makes a great cover in case you're worried about something stripping your enchantments (as well as having a nice effect as well). IAS is nice but I've never exactly found it necessary; especially as there's really only one Dervish one that ends quickly and has a long recharge.

Use Drunken Master for IAS then I myself use HoF atm and many fights are over before it runs out, it's a great IAS tbh, OR you can use rock candy's.

Haven't been to EotN yet and thus don't have any of those PvE skills :P

I like Heart of Fury, I just wish it lasted longer and didn't have such a long recharge.
