I've been testing out the dervish for a while and I'd have to say...SWEET! I love the scythe and atks. The armor is WELL balanced(Not like the assassin kamakazi). There's only a few concerns. For one thing, there isnt really an effective way of healing your fellow dervish avatar. I was wondering what healing skills are pretty good to get ur dervish healed upon casting the spell that are worth checking out(besides Dwayna's avatar...) Thx

Cast vital boon then signet of Piety, its a big self heal. If you want to heal other people, look into the Wind skills I think.

Arcane Zeal
Extend Enchantments
mystic healing
Mirage Cloak
Imbude
heal party
blah
blah

this guy is a nasty healer

signant of piety works on other players as well as yourself. =) tried and tested in AB

No multi-purpose heals? Check the skills again my friend...this thing is probably the most versitile class there is.

Yeap. Mini Wammo in a can.

That's pretty cool, in and of itself.
Huge life. Big mana.
Medium armor, but better than lowest.
All kinds of skills, spells and signets. Plus the ones we don't know of yet.

I used to think it didn't get more versatile than a Ranger, but I'm holding that thought until I see more of what we haven't seen yet for the Dervish. She's quite a neat little class.

After playing as a Dervish, I'd have to say A-Net needs to work on this class more before release. Of course, that is exactly what they will be doing, but for me the Dervish isn't as fun as was the Ritualist was during their PvP event introduction.

I'm off to test the Paragon now.

I will say I like the Avatars though. Interesting idea!

Dervish is a better healer than a monk under edenial pressure.

the paragons do alot of damage with spears and everyone seems to like them, but what i dont get is rangers can do the same thing and no one like to use them with bow attacks for damage in pvp. But the spears are pretty easy to dodge, they move slow.

...

*laughs at Morganas statement* And eles are better at tanking right ?

Except even real wammos can play this class, screw up and have a pretty good chance of not dying.

dervish will pawn in PVE

PVP will require fine tuning though still lots better than assassin

Batou of Nine · Jul 29, 2006, 08:20 PM // 20:20

the D/Me premade has a good skill. its similar to Illusion of Weakness, but with no sacc drawbacks. Actually, no real drawbacks at all!

I think it was called Faithful Intervention (Mysticism?). 5 Energy, 2 second caste, 20 second recharge. @ 13 Mysticism, when you drop to 50% hp it ends and heals you for 200+ hp. suweet! and its so cheap n eazy to reapply. Its an enchantment of course, so you gotta cover it, but as a dervish you are spamming enchants anyway.

I been playing around with new dervish skills for 2 days now, and i LOVE this class. SO much potential!

cheers!

Just to set the records straight. Most assassins drop like flies because its Narutards and other idiots using them like tanks. I've met some pretty good assassins that actually understand the concept of hit and run.

Actually, to set the record straight, that's a bloody stupid myth passed around by people who still haven't gotten past their old wammo hate.

The Dervish has 70 Armor and doesn't die because it's built with sufficient survival skills. The Assassin is not, the escape skills which they are supposed to use to stay alive aren't build efficiently at all.

No matter how good you are with an Assassin it just IS a inferiorly designed class.

lets just say if i can tank a 4 man trapper team from TA solo as a D/W and kill them all with 3 AoE damage spells and 1 signet of piety....they need nefring....unfortunately
