Title says it all.

I've narrowed my PvP choices down to two. Elementalist for Conjure Frost w/e, And Warrior for Wild Blow and such.

Can I get opinions on what is best for my Dervish? I'll be doing TA, GvG, and AB. Thanks!

Either way, it doesn't matter, because you can freely swap your secondary any time you are in a Town/Outpost.

Try each combo, see which works best for you.

I haven't encountered blocking stances as much as in the past, thus making Wild Blow rather useless. I would definitely go with ele for Conjure, more damge and another ench to fuel your ench-dependent skills like Mystic Sweep.

conjure works better. if some silly ra kid is using stances just press tab. monks are silly too and the only stances they use last 3 seconds max, so you'll be good with conjure.

In RA, I always go D/W, if only for the reason that there always seems to be that one Ranger that has Escape, Natural Stride, Dodge, and Lightning Reflexes lined up one after another on his bar. One Wild Blow, a Crippling Sweep, and byebye Ranger.

I agree with above, stance removal can be very handy. Conjure builds are very good but (for example) with warriors endurance recently being converted to a stance, stance removal is great. Many classes use a stance and really a derv can remove them very effectively, For the most part you will be able to get both and this is a minor decision to make. I vote warrior, then get Elementalist after.

Not only is stance removal handy for those you will meet that can use stances well, Wild Blow is also a guaranteed critical, and unblockable. Since he won't be using Adrenaline attacks, the "you lose all adrenaline" isn't really a drawback.

For 4v4, definitely /W for [[Wild Blow] since you're probably going to be the only frontline. It's the same reason a Warrior would go with [[Whirling Axe] over [[Eviscerate]. The extra DPS doesn't matter if a stance is going to negate all of it by blocking. If you need something to fuel [[Wounding Strike], [[Faithful Intervention] can do that.

For 8v8, [[Conjure Lightning] or any other Conjure since you're not the only frontline and there's going to be more than one.

I like D/A.. well, for low-end pvp.. AB actually. It's fun using Death Charge and spiking squishy targets, then teleporting away with Viper's Defense and dashing away

It's probably not the best choice, but it's fun. I've also found it quite effective actually..
