Can anyone post a build that I can use through out istan, or until I can get an elite?

Thank You!

Coloneh · Dec 10, 2007, 10:24 PM // 22:24

no. builds have an elite skill. get one. below level 20 you dont use a build, you use a bunch of random skills. you dont have the attributes or skill choices to run a real build.

Uh....sure?

Scythe Mastery 9 or higher
Earth Prayers 9 or higher
Rest into Mysticism

Go find something better to do Coloneh.

the previous buyild
Lack of scythe multi hitting condition skill. I think there is only 1
[skill]Wearying Strike[/skill]

That would probolly work beter with armor of sanc.

There are always is the one the kounans use that does cripple whenever you deal dmg to them.

and you can get rid of the conditions with that one running skill that is used in the Balths forge runner

also lack of self enchant stip ftl

Allthough you do have some nice self healing with vic sweep and reap

Heavily depends whether you can get it... I think you're talking about ... veil of thorns or something. But you really don't want to weaken yourself with wearying strike.

Sister Rosette · Dec 11, 2007, 03:59 AM // 03:59

Well swap out Vital Boon for Veil of Thorns and you're still golden. However,
[skill]Wearying Strike[/skill][skill]Plague Touch[/skill] works too.

I'm guessing with low elites he is on noob island, therefore with lower lvl? I like how Sister Rosette put 3 10e skills on the bar for someone with very little

This is what you've got.

[skill]Chilling Victory[/skill][skill]eremite's attack[/skill][skill]mystic sweep[/skill][skill]twin moon sweep[/skill][skill]mystic vigor[/skill][skill]signet of pious light[/skill][skill]resurrection signet[/skill][skill]vital boon[/skill]

You will be using a build similar to this until you can get an elite. Only one or two of these skills are likely to change before you reach your first elite cap.

Turtle222 · Dec 11, 2007, 11:36 AM // 11:36

there is only one reason to use twin moon sweep...the animation is epic

Sirius-NZ · Dec 11, 2007, 11:55 AM // 11:55

Additionally, Vital Boon is a good skill to use for the purposes of self-rending. One of very few, though.

Sir Pandra Pierva · Dec 11, 2007, 10:48 PM // 22:48

lol that is why it is almost teh staple derv skill, I dont think I have ever seen a derv in RA/TA/AB/PVE run without it. I am not sure about the higher lvls of pvp

~ Dan ~ · Dec 12, 2007, 11:51 AM // 11:51

Vital Boon? A staple skill?!

lololololol

Utaku · Dec 12, 2007, 01:17 PM // 13:17

Usually GvG Dervishes run with no earth prayers skill.
Anyway, the skills you are given during tutorial will do the job, just raise your scythe mastery as high as possible.

Sir Pandra Pierva · Dec 12, 2007, 04:00 PM // 16:00

Dan what I see in every pug group almost every derv build here, every pve derv build, RA TA is vital boon. Like I said I am not sure about GvG and HA but everywere else I see it always. I think those areas show a bigger population than GvGers and HAers combined. But who knows.

PUGs are bad.
RA players are bad.
Almost every derv build here is bad.
The only viable derv build in TA (well, mel might be ok) is wounding strike. The bar moko gave me has no vital boon.
I personally never use vital boon.

.. So you were saying about it being a staple skill??

Abedeus · Dec 12, 2007, 05:05 PM // 17:05

Why use a build inferior to existing ones that use an elite skill? If you are on noob land, every build is good. Good elites are really close - Avatar of Melandru/Lyssa/Dwayna are one map, two tops from first city on mainland.

Vital Boon?
Not touched it since it left my bar somewhere on the noob island.
Not touched Earth Prayers either, tbh.

Coloneh · Dec 13, 2007, 04:01 AM // 04:01

if im bothing to specc into earth for general PvE, its for mystic regen. it combines nicely with HoF and AoHM.

Sirius-NZ · Dec 13, 2007, 08:59 AM // 08:59

Uhm... just my +2, but I really don't use vital boon in PvP either. There just seem to be better things you can do than worry about self-heals...

boarderx · Dec 13, 2007, 05:09 PM // 17:09

just use whatever, that is a good time to try different skills.

just dont spread you attributes too thin only use about 2 attribute lines
