Like the topic says i've been playing my Dervish for a good while now (PvE only) and I liked the class, its pretty fun...but...i found something lacking.

I couldn't put my finger on it at first, then as I tried to find a real niche for it in areas like Domain of Anguish for example, I found there really wasn't one...

I found in high end areas (DoA, UW, etc) I was either playing the tank role or damage spike... yet.. other classes could do that too, and better. Which left me a little discouraged. Then I came upon this little section and skimmed over the vast amounts of walls of texts and arguments, and I was validated in that I did see I wasn't the only one feeling this!
(By the way my first char was a warr, and I love using him still too)

Anyways, I wanna ask about some build advice. Though i've noticed some hate towards the Avatars, I still find them fun. Like AoG, AoD, AoL , and even AoB.

For damage I like to use : (in Forgeweight level i used AoG)

Eternal Aura, Avatar of Lyssa, Heart of Fury, Chilling Victory, Radiant Scythe, By Ural's Hammer, Asura Scan, and the last is left open depending on where i am. Then just wreck them all when they're balled up, especially if I get splinter weap buffed on me.

As for tanking I have these two builds that use with my friends.

last two spots are open for like "feel no pain" or some other pve skill.

the other build ive been messing with is this one:
sf tank, with last two spots open again for maybe some pve skill or something.

With someone casting balth spirit i can handle it pretty well. Of course there are better classes suited for tanking,but i don't wanna leave derv out really.
(also i hope i posted the codes right, otherwise ill type them out.)
