Its an ok Energy Return, but i usually use a Zealous Scythe on my Derv. So i dont really use Mysticism.

Because zealous and mysticism gives more energy than zealous. And if you're not speccing mysticism for the awesome skills it has, your build is already bad.

Way to pre-judge there. Makes you look stupid. Just because people dont like what you use and you dont like what they use doesnt make it bad. Not everyone is a Enchant/Mystic Regen Noob. I do fine without Mysticism.

Lack of mysticism on a Dervish is just stupid; it's like not taking Soul Reaping as a Necromancer.

Then he did not say 0 either. He might have been running a 4 attribute setup with a bunch of majors.

No, you didn't, you said a 'good percentage', there's a difference. You'll get a better response if you refrain from that kind of talk, not even to about 'some', it serves no purpose anyway.

out of curiousity, what build are you running? personally i can't think of a good build that doesn't use mysticism, but i'm willing to give anything a shot if it works. There are places where enchants aren't really the best options and i would like to try something new to spice things up a bit.

BTW, Mystic Regen is under Earth Prayers. All dervs must be running some enchantments. If they aren't, then they probably aren't using a scythe (or else they would die pretty quickly). Those enchantments take energy, but mysticism can give some of that energy back.

So that translates to:
- You don't use any mysticism skills, in particular no avatars.
- You have way worse e-management than a normal dervish (unless running zealous vow, for some random reason).
- You don't use Aura Of Holy Might or Heart Of Fury.

I'm sure i missed some other stuff. There is one word for you. Fail.

guess some people have yet to grow up, especially regarding a PvE/PvP fight.

i don't think i need to hint you guys anymore, so stop with what you've been doing or another topic goes down.

Im not arguing over which is better, ive said before. Neither is superior to another. Only problem are Egos. All i say is Mysticism is basically useless when you can get back x2 the energy with a Zealous before even 1 enchant wears off. Then i get bombarded that im a noob. How this site is 'Elite' by guild wars standards is beyond me.

Only reason I would see any point with 0 mysticism, is if you say had 12 SM, and 12 wind prayers for

Fast Casting is actually important in PvP...... Diversion without it would be unplayable after all. So please, enough with your not having a clue.

If you have 5 enchantments on you (and I'm talking about enchantments other people cast on you, not you on yourself), and 12 mysticism, the energy gain you're going to get is anything but useless. It also doesn't rely on finding groups of enemies for the energy gain to work; zealous still more than breaks even against single targets, but it needs two or three to really shine... and a lot of the time, targets don't stick together. (More often in PvP than PvE, of course.)
