Wow, i thought your mo/a smiter build posted in another section was bad enough. Now you've done it again!

Seriously, just stop posting builds.

You will bassicaly need to look for a build around Avatar of Melandru I guess. You have to take into account that the AI is less aggresive when you have a lot of health. Combination of AoM, HoF, MR and Imbue Health seems to be working for me (almost Indomitable Survivor, ok it isn't that much but it is working).

Watchful and Faithful Intervention are a waste of slots in this regard I guess, sorry Solus Spartan. They can keep you alive, but you don't need more than +6 regen when running AoM -with the exception perhaps of a few high level areas, but as always, different areas = different builds- and the actual save from these skills isn't that breathtaking.

For attack skills, when bringing AoM you have to take Wearying Strike. I'd also add Banishing strike for PvE in Factions and Victorious Sweep for the extra HP in general.

[skill]Avatar of Melandru[/skill] is not worth it. Too expensive in energy. Use Mending Touch with [skill]Avatar of Dwayna[/skill] instead. Removes 1 hex and 2 conditions plus gain health. That's your insurance.

[skill]Victorious Sweep[/skill][skill]Eternal Aura[/skill][skill]Vital Boon[/skill][skill]Mystic Regeneration[/skill][skill]Avatar of Balthazar[/skill][skill]Faithful Intervention[/skill] Optional, Optional

This is how I got Legendary Survivor.

If you are careful, and have a balanced team, like mentioned above, you should not die.

Good Luck.

P.S. I usually had Capture Signet as one of my Optional Skills and Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support as the other.

Dwayna = fail in all but the most hex-heavy situations.

The survivor build I recommend is dwarven boxing - fast and risk-free.

You could be right if the dervish is running Dwayna on any seconary professions except D/Mo. IMO Dwayna's effects compliments very well with monk's skills especially Mending Touch.

A point to take note of is that somewhere around level 10 - 15, his dervish would be in Issnur Isles or Mehtani Keys. Those areas are notorious for hexes (E.g. Frozen Skales, Mandragors, 'those mesmer plants thingy'). All the more a dervish would be in need of Dwayna's Avatar. (Assuming the dervish could not get a ferry to Cantha or GWEN.)

IMO Melandru's should only be used once the dervish reach max level.

The hard part of survivor is tier3. If you can't even reach tier1 without dying, I'm really not sure what to say. Worst case, you can cheat and get a ferry to Consulate for pennies and pick up max armor - voila, lvl10~15 monsters do no damage to you.

Hexes that just degen typically aren't worth removing, especially when they're being cast by lvl10~15 monsters with almost no attribute in the linked stat. The kind of 'hex-heavy' that I'm talking about are areas that hex stack you to the point where you can't even do damage - snares, punishment hexes (empathy/SS), faint, clumsiness/inept, etc.

Honestly though, for survivor purposes, Kilroy's punchout is fast, safe, and class-independent.
