Curse

Zuranthium · Jul 29, 2006, 04:07 AM // 04:07

Dervish/Monk

16 Mysticism
9 Healing Prayers
9 Protection

Infuse Health
Life Sheath
Reversal of Fortune
Guardian
Protective Spirit
Healing Breeze
Contemplation of Purity
Rez Signet (Pious Renewl for non-RA)

I've been winning like crazy with this. It's virtually impossible to kill and provides excellent healing to the rest of the team. This build is also incredibly hard to play. There is never a second where you aren't casting a spell.

By constantly keeping Reversal/Guardian/Breeze on yourself, the Dervish Mysticism skill gives you insane amounts of mana and allows you to constantly infuse/sheath/breeze the rest of your team. If they start attacking you...lol, you just will NOT die. You can keep Reversal/Guardian/Sheath/Prot Spirit/Breeze on yourself for an INFINITE (yes really) amount of time and remove conditions and hexes with Contemplation. Only chain knockdowns or two interrupting mesmers/rangers will best the build.

Incorrectly correctly capitalizing the first letter of each word is bad mojo!

tomcruisejr · Jul 29, 2006, 04:21 AM // 04:21

prolly wont get nerfed coz it can be still countered by knockdowns and 2 interrupting mesmers/rangers.

.....Did I kill you yesterday with my degen mesmer build?

I think I did. Still remember you trying to "Life Sheeth" before you died.

No, because I just made this build today.

Diversion and/or backfire will take out your build. Of course most random arena mesmers are too busy keeping that ele at bay with empathy

Cacheelma · Jul 29, 2006, 04:40 AM // 04:40

Lol, well, I mean yesterday on MY TIME, GMT+7. I guess it's still your "Today". Anyhow, it's during the weekend event.

KamikazeChicken · Jul 29, 2006, 04:41 AM // 04:41

I'd much rather run a smite/prot D/Mo.

Perrsun · Jul 29, 2006, 04:45 AM // 04:45

There's this thing... it's called "Well of the Profane"... you may have heard of it.

fiery · Jul 29, 2006, 04:46 AM // 04:46

I'm sure a ton of people use this build,your just first to post it. Monk's don't need res sig, need condition/hex removers.

tomcruisejr · Jul 29, 2006, 04:46 AM // 04:46

ill submit this to the next batch of premades and put "Designed by Scout" underneath it.

Diversion would suck big time. Backfire is no big deal, the recharge on Contemplation is shorter than the recharge on Backfire.

There's also a thing called "walking slightly over there so I'm not in the well anymore"

Gee, ya think?

The primary attributes for both the paragon and dervish are pretty uninspired. "How are we going to make this class's energy management unique and quirky? We've got energy when people die... energy when you score a critical hit... OOH, how about energy when an enchantment wears off!? Sweet!"

Bah, whatever.

At least he makes good use of Mysticism...

Time spent walking is time spent dieing.

Ricio · Jul 29, 2006, 05:10 AM // 05:10

12 Mysticism
11 earth prayers
6 wind prayers
10 protection prayers

D/MO

reversal of fortune
pious renewal
pious restoration
smite hex
restore condition {elite}
guardian
signet of piety
imbue health

Spam reversal of fortune /w pious renewal and guardian, use pious restoration for self hex removal. Signet of piety > diversion, as long as you lose the enchant and get the instant recharge, diversion won't bother it.

A very succinct definition of kiting.

crimsonfilms · Jul 29, 2006, 05:15 AM // 05:15

I the idea is good but not new.

The build is bad also.

Monks should not carry res and you dont have any real healing skill. Infuse is not a spammable healing skill. Breeze is one of the worse healing skill.

Its a lot of energy wasted on some mediocre skills.

MalVeauX · Jul 29, 2006, 05:20 AM // 05:20

Funny,

I've seen this in several places, and I've defeinitely seen it used online. Hell, I saw the basic concept after a few hours from release because it was pretty obvious that Mysticsm and Enchantments = Energy looping.

Anyhow, if you think you're the first. More power to ya.
