It's not really to difficult to get to EOTN you only need to be level 10....
Use the SEARCH function here to find builds or check PVX wiki...

i agree that punchout is the best way and if you are in nf it is very easy to get to lvl 10 and on to eotn just do the quests and pin your henchmen and or heros ahead of you to do the fighting.
but the way you asked the question it sounded like you wanted to fight through campaigns to get it bec otherwise it doesnt matter what class you are for puchout.
para is the best class for if you want to play through the game bec you can really buff all your party members and bec you are a backliner with 80al so it will be harder to die
i would not recomend playing through on a melee char bec they are often the first to die especally if there are ele spikes.

Not sure why someone told you derv is the easiest class to get survivor, since it's melee & not 80 AL. But yeah, punchout takes the piss out of that title track.

Good luck.

If you're doing other titles on that dervish, I recommend getting L. Survivor via skill capping. Why knock out 1 title when you can knock out 4?

Cuz if you die most people would delete that character and restart, losing even more money spent on cap sigs.

Having done it by way of skill capping, if you're dying in NM capping skills you might have bigger issues than some lost plat

You have a very good point, I hadn't looked at it that way =p

Suddenly I found a use for that 200k i have lying around in storage

Since my last post I finished survivor on my Dervish without resorting to mass skill capping or dwarf punching (Which seems like cheatting to me).

Avatar of balthazar was extremely helpful, combined with windwalker insignia it reduced incoming damage to very low levels.

Shielding Hands. Stoneflesh or Armor of Sanctity combined with either Balthazar or Conviction reduced most incoming damage to a flat zero (Overall I found shielding hands the easier to use due to it's fast cast and low cost). Needless to say if you're not taking damage you won't die.

Between those two concepts I was able to play a tank role taking most the flak for the party while slashing and PBAoEing and allowing the heroes to do their job nuking stuff, I completed NF, EotN, Prophecies and a significant portion of the Fissure of WoE in that way, (bringing me to about 1.1 million xp) before doing HM skill capping in the desolation for the last part.

Honestly, Dervish is the easiest survivor I've ever done - they have such a vast range of self defence skills.

The best class for survivor is warrior, because you get the highest AL for dwarven brawling. The strength AP helps too as opposed to lolmysticism

But any class can do it easily. If I were you I would disregard the people crying that brawling for LS is cheating. LS is the only title you can screw up forever. It's logical to attempt the fastest way to do it, so that if you do fail, you won't lose as much time.

Actually, Dervish is the best class for survivor IMO, and you can try it with my old Juggernaut build, which will deal nice damage while having amazing defense capabilities. The advantage over typical earth tanks and I dunno what, is that you can safely play almost any game area, and that if your defensive enchantment gets stripped you can quickly recast it since they're spammable.

Of course, the build is old and was made before EotN skills etc, but the core is the same: Dwayna + Prot spirit + RoF spam, and good Mysticism.

I dont remember if linking to that other website is allowed so I'll just copy paste:

15 Mysticism
12 Scythe (but can be 14, another sup rune wont hurt much at all)
8 Protection Prayers

(The rest is pretty much obvious; two runes of Attunement, Radiant insignia... 20% longer enchantments on scythe etc.)

Reversal of Fortune
Protection Spirit
Victorious Sweet
Chilling Victory
Heart of Fury
Mending Touch

Rez

Prot spirit can be kept on more or less all the time. It works wonders in high end pve. I also keep watching party box to drop it on any ally who needs it (same with RoF).
Chilling Victory does cold dmg even when you're blind. If you think this skill is only good in PvE and not in RA, think again. I was totally suprised how many people cluster there, letting the scythe smack like 2-3 of them plus their spirits if any.
Most battles in RA will usually be over by the time Dwayna expires. Yes, you're thinking again, no one is that stupid to cast hexes on you, since you can spam RoF and other skills. Wrong. Hardly anyone knows what this skill does. I've had 6 flawless in RA before lag killed me, and everyone kept putting anti-warrior (even Backfire!) hexes on me all the time. Which magically disappeared.

Spamming RoF while under Prot spirit and Dwayna, does wonders. If someone is attacking you (which is especially frequent in PvE) you waste 1 energy to get 100 heal + you reduce 50dmg. I cant possibly imagine why someone will want a warrior tank. Yes i had monsters using their disenchants on me, but it didnt hurt me since i spammed prot spirit back on.

Tweak the build and that's it.
