So is the Dervish basically like a Melee healer / Defensive buffer?

From Guildwiki

Described as "a scythe-wielding holy warrior", they are a close-range profession capable of hitting multiple opponents and utilizing enchantments to deal damage, inflict conditions, and protect and heal herself/himself. Many of their abilities strike multiple foes, allowing them to be fierce combatants on the battlefield.

That explains it

I like to think of the dervish as an enchantment based warrior.

No, paragons don't have enchantments:P
I think of the dervish as a warrior, someone that uses alot of physical attacks for damage, based on enchantments, using enchants to help ias, heal, defense.

Call me boring but u could have just thrown all ur threads into one dude xP

and a dervish is like a Melee caster i suppose u could say. Think of them as a monk with wep skills.

Ok thanks everyone. And yea I could have thrown it into one thread but i didn't want to make people type a list of what every class does

so thought this would be easier for people

kind of think dervishes as mending wammos on steroids actually. it all fits, because they have:
-built in hundred blades
-uber mending and uber healing breeze rolled into one skill
-uber sever artery and uber gash rolled into one skill
-uber final thrust, without the annoying conditional
-uber defensive buffs, that are actually good

really, i think anet created the dervish by looking at the mending wammo, and made the dervish to be exactly like it except a lot better.

Dervishes are for killing stuff and staying alive.

Dervishes are meant to be decent tanks while putting on a lot of pressure and spread deadly conditions (via Wounding Strike) quickly, and deals a lot of damage(maybe not quite like a sin spike, but harder to counter and more durable).
