Right ive been playing as a derv for a few month now and the only thing thats stopping me using it as my primary is that i cant find or make a build that can solo general pve , ive experimented with AoG and AoB but neither offer that great results, so basically what im asking is does anyone have a PvE general solo dervish build.??

Soloing what?

You cant just run through the game by yourself and expect to beat the campaigns, that goes for any class.

I mean for just like early game e.g kourna in elona when the foes are easy but theres mobs of them, and i have seen it before , in a group with a derv and they sprint ahead and just slaughter everything

It depends, insects and plants should be quite easy with AoD, but for example kournan soldiers groups are well balanced with enchant stripping so probably SF or spirit spam, but it's slow and pretty pointless.

Its like Lopez said; the mobs were either condition-less (and quite puny) or he was max level when he was doing this(while fighting lesser mobs). Nowhere is it even safe for a Derv to go way out in front and hold aggro unless the mob is something along the lines of a Snow Wurmling.

[Dervish]Enchantment maintaining and aggro managing is mutually exclusive; one's gotta give.

Okay so solo is a no go , so anyone got any good general pve builds other than the PVX ones ? I like the idea of condition spreading but haven't been able to make a 'great' build as of yet

Pick an Avatar you personally like, stick eternal aura and eremite's zeal on the bar for ever-lasting Avatar and have-at PvE.

Thats basically the dervish in a nutshell. While bringing other (overused) skill bars like Wounding etc. into play you are only kidding yourself.
