Dervish Avatars question - Guild Wars Forums

syronj · Mar 13, 2011, 01:09 PM // 13:09

I recently discovered the avatars available to dervishes and have enjoyed starting to use them. I was wondering how recently these avatars were created -- was it during the recent Dervish upgrade? Thanks.

The answer to this is yes

Avatars were made when Nightfall was first created. Although they, as well as many other Dervish skills were adjusted in the recent update.

Thanks. I like three of them so far; not sure yet if I'll try to capture the Lyssa and Dwayna ones.

Avatars have been there for dervishes since theyre release as far as I know.

Avatars have been around since the release of Nightfall. It is only recently that they have become very popular because they were changed in the dervish update. Of course, they could also be in use because now people are actually playing their dervish...

Handy to Cap them if you are going for Skill Hunter at some point

to bad they bug with splinter weapon and divine halo, when the avatar ends the hale disappears. when the avatar ends but splinter is still active my scythe disappears

They seem to be relatively easy to capture, as I've gotten three so far.

An unrelated question: since MOX's fighting animation is with his fists, does it matter whether he's equipped with a scythe in the inventory screen? Is there any point in continuing to upgrade his scythe?

If a hero isn't equipped with a weapon they will not be able to use an attack skill, but can still cast spells. Also they usually tell you in team chat they have no weapon equipped.

dwyana is very useful for hero and minion healing when used with strip bars

The animation is punching, but he attacks with a scythe. Forget what you see him doing; he runs like any other Dervish does.
