Curse

Hi guys. I recently took an interest in AB and have decided since my dervish is gathering dust, I'd use him. I've tried the AoM build posted on PvX but decided it wasn't good for my playing style, so I've begun experimenting.

Please tell me if this build is any good, or what needs to be improved upon. Thank you in advance!

Pious Reaper

[skill]Reaper's Sweep[/skill][skill]Victorious Sweep[/skill][skill]Chilling Victory[/skill][skill]Vital Boon[/skill][skill]Pious Haste[/skill][skill]Mending Touch[/skill][skill]Mystic Regeneration[/skill][skill]Faithful Intervention[/skill]

12 Scythe Mastery
11 Earth Prayers
11 Mysticism

Usage:

Start off by casting Faithful Intervention for added durability. This is also useful to increase the effectiveness of Mystic Regen. If you need to run towards an area or chase an enemy, cast Vital Boon to cover Pious Haste since it has a fast enough recharge to keep up with the skill. This way you'll ensure enchantments like mystic regen or Faithful Intervention aren't cancelled.

When attacking, start off with Chilling Victory or Victorious Sweep, followed by Reaper's Sweep. When under conditions, use Mending Touch. Vital Boon can also be used if under heavy spike.

Another build I have is this:

Harrier's Reaper

[skill]Reaper's Sweep[/skill][skill]Victorious Sweep[/skill][skill]Chilling Victory[/skill][skill]Pious Restoration[/skill][skill]Natural Healing[/skill][skill]Harrier's Haste[/skill][skill]Mending Touch[/skill][skill]Remove Hex[/skill]

13 scythe mastery
13 Wind Prayers
Rest goes into protection

Basically, you use harrier's haste to aid in spike damage and as a speed buff, then attack with your three melee skills. Remove hex and mending touch are your utilities and pious/natural are your two heals.

Please tell me what you think of these builds and how I can improve on them. I realize there is room for variables in both builds, with HoF being a possibility in the first one, and Harrier's Grasp being a possibility in the second.

As much as Remove Hex has improved, I'd still put Holy Veil on that second one, especially on a Dervish that gets energy when it's removed.

I use this build on my D/Mo since the recent buff to AI.

14 Scythe Mastery
12 Wind Prayers
6 Earth Prayers
5 Mysticism(Just dumping att points now, you dont need myst for this build.)

[skill]Wounding Strike[/skill] [skill]Mystic Sweep[/skill] [skill]Chilling Victory[/skill] [skill]Attacker's Insight[/skill] [skill]Featherfoot Grace[/skill] [skill]Vital Boon[/skill] [skill]Pious Restoration[/skill]

Random skill for #8, whatever you want.

Next one is the enchantless(somewhat, Ai doesnt last long at all) varient.

14 Scythe Mastery
12 Wind Prayers
5 Protection Prayers
4 Mysticism

[skill]Wounding Strike[/skill] [skill]Eremite's Attack[/skill] [skill]Chilling Victory[/skill] [skill]Attacker's Insight[/skill] [skill]Harrier's Haste[/skill] [skill]Mending Touch[/skill] [skill]Natural Healing[/skill]

I cant really comment on the build because I think Reapers needs a buff in recharge to be more effective.

Pious Haste with 3 enchants is gonna drain em fast.

attacker's insight is a bad idea. are you honestly going to have a spammable deepwound elite, and then limit it to 1 deepwound every 15 seconds?

since you already have high wind prayers, use harrier's grasp instead. it will make your job much easier.
