AoHM converts elemental damage to holy damage.

In PvP you'd want Wounding Strike because it applies more pressure and can be used more often. You'd also want a speed boost in all PvP as a melee based physical.

Lose the Major in PvP, you're not gaining much from it.

I would say stick with [[Wounding Strike] spam.

[build prof=Dervish/any Scythe=12+1+1 Mysticism=8+1 WindPrayers=8+1][Wounding Strike][Mystic Sweep][optional][optional][Enchanted Haste][Attacker's Insight][Heart of Fury][Resurrection Signet][/build]

The first optional slot is for another attack skill:
- [[Chilling Victory] is often used for its powerful damage.
- [[Lyssa's Assault] for good energy management.
- [[Crippling Sweep] for a snare.
- [[Rending Sweep] is used in hex heavy teams or when you have a hex of your own for enchantment removal.
- [[Victorious Sweep] for respectable spammable damage and conditional health gain.
- [[Symbolic Strike] for spammable high damage (Replace [[Enchanted Haste] with [[Signet of Mystic Speed] and [[Signet of Pious Restraint] for the other optional).
- [[Wild Blow] to for an unblockable critical attack along with stance removal.

The second optional slot is free for any profession, here are some popular options:
- [[Faithful Intervention] for its long lasting enchantment and fueling of [[Wounding Strike].
- [[Conjure Lightning] or any other Conjure for increased DPS and even more fuel for [[Wounding Strike] and [[Mystic Sweep]. (Up your elemental attribute to 7).
- [[Frigid Armor] is used for protection against Burning and [[Steam]. (Use with [[Conjure Frost])
- [[Hex Breaker] for protection against powerful anti-melee hexes (Replace [[Enchanted Haste] with [[Signet of Mystic Speed]). (Up Wind Prayers to 10 and put the rest in Domination Magic).
- [[Grasping Earth] for an AoE snare (synergies with Rending Sweep). (Up Mysticism or Wind Prayers by 1 and put up Earth Magic to 5).
- [["Make Haste!"]] for Relic Running in HA. (Up Mysticism or Wind Prayers by 1 and put Command up to 5).
- [[Song of Concentration] to prevent interrupts on the Ghostly Hero in HA. (Up Mysticism and Wind Prayers as preference).
- [[Death's Charge] for tele-spiking.

use conjure+wounding strike,much more effective.

and btw,aura of holy might converts your damage to holy so conjure is useless on the same bar.

Well...
1. Didn't know that.
2. I don't even use AoHM, only added it because I was missing one skill and I don't know where it went xD (read: can't remember which one I use usually o_0)

I basically almost always use Flame Djinn's Haste aswell, another case of a slight difference in what I use, and what I post... Thought it'd make more sense like this, but ehh =D.

And about Wounding Strike; I WANT to use Reaper's... 1. SHITLOAD of damage on top of Deep Wound
2. I've got a whole Devil/Reaper kinda theme going on on my PvE-Derv, and imo Reaper's suits the theme better than Wounding... =D.

0 is a round number, too. you'll end up with that much health more often if you run a major, so if you want to see pretty numbers that badly you won't be disappointed with your rune choice.

also, [wounding strike]>[reaper's sweep] and WS conjure dervs are a well-known build that dominated the gvg meta some months ago.

Thank you very much, because this person has absolutely no way of getting to the PvX website. This guy was asking for feedback on his build, so you go the PvX and find the only build in the AB "great" section and copy and paste. You are truly an expert.

ac1inferno · Nov 28, 2008, 01:36 AM // 01:36

He might not have known about it. I did give him feedback on his build. Giving him a build that works is a way of helping.

If this person was aware of PvX, this person would have utilised it anyway. Trying to improve builds often brings it to the stage of turning it to a "cookie-cutter" or whatever you people call it. That's going to be the same in 90% of all build threads like this.

illidan009 · Nov 29, 2008, 02:14 AM // 02:14

Unless you hate WS for it's "ZOMG SO IMBA"ness, I'd take that over Reaper's Sweep. PvE you could also take eternal aura to maintain HoF.
