Hey I Love the Dervish class but I have never been able to get a good scythe build.

I'm going to start playing through all the campaigns with my Dervish, can anyone please give me a good scythe build??

I'm going to be running 2 HB monk heros and a Nuker Vekk, If that helps at all

[wounding strike] is ur friend here. You also might want to check out pvxwiki.com They got some good dervish builds, and again, you might wanna check out the wounding strike build if you wanna deal some major dmg in PVE.

We all love [wounding strike] , widespread deep wound / bleeding ? sure why not. also [aura of holy might] is <3 in pve if you run into some of those undead mofo's. Personally I would run D/Monk with :

[wounding strike][chilling victory][reap impurities][mending touch][aura of holy might][heart of fury][watchful intervention][sunspear rebirth signet] or [Resurrection Signet]
then a zealous scythe of enchanting or fortitude with a 15^50 or 15^enchanted inscription.

hope I helped

[wounding strike][mystic sweep][chilling victory][no skill][attacker's insight][heart of fury][aura of holy might][no skill]

Flail or whatever IAS for Heart of Fury if you want.

This build = lolpve.

OR buy a staff, slap an enchant mod on that, remove enchant mod from scythe and put on a fortitude one and don't waste it.

Tyla is twisting my wurdz D:

[Save yourselve's!] might be better instead of [mending touch] in my build..for a little added "godmode"

threadwin!
[wounding strike] rox in most areas
unless you're encountering tons of undead enemies then you just take [avatar of balthazar]
and on a different note
[avatar of balthazar] isn't good just cuz everyone uses it
ava of balthazar sucks in most parts of pve unless you're fighting undead

If you do you'll be joining all the lazy mindless players in the game who can't be bothered to make an efficient build of their own.

Dervishs don't need ursan for damage, they are extremely powerful already.

Ursan is real boring in my opinion, but if you want to spam 1,2,3 mindlessly be my guest.

If you're fighting undead, bring aura of holy might instead of Balthazar. It will also convert your damage to holy, and allow for a better elite. Most undead don't bleed, so WS isn't as good. Melandru is better, as undead are notorious for blind and other melee hate conditions.

You do understand it's mainly for the deep wound and the bleeding primarily acts as a cover condition, right?

As for Ursan, it's less effective when there's only one. Stick with playing a Dervish and not an Ursan.
