Default Shandow Form Dervish, is it a good combination?

Dervish most attack are canceling the enchantments himself/herself, can the Scythe attack cancel the Shadow Form while Shadow Form is nearly end?
I don't have the shadow form so I can't test it by myself

only thing that stops shadow forms health loss is reusing shadow form I'm pretty sure anything else ends in you haveing the 50 something health it leaves you with.

Just tired it. Removing shadow form by use of a scythe attack gives the health penalty. Probably not a good combination in the middle of battle.

youd have to time it perfectly. too early and the scythe attack would remove death nova, too late and it wont be applied in time

It does raise an interesting question though. Does removing Death Nova trigger it? Or is it simply just another removed enchantment with no added benefit?

Because considering it's low cost/low recharge time...if attacks like Twin Moon Sweep and the like do trigger it....D/N Death Nova Spiking could become pretty feasible....

it triggers when the target dies, as stated in the skill description

OT: No. Though with a Faithful Intervention or something you might be able to cancel out the near-death experience. Still, it's a waste of an elite slot for any situation imaginable.

I was wondering if [protective spirit] won't make you lose all but some 50hp when SF ends.....will tried it out with a hero monk.....

Anyway: SF is only good if you can keep it permanently, otherwise it sucks. So my opinion on SF on dervish and all the other professions is : DO NOT USE IT
I tried out using [extend enchantments] + [shadow form] but it does not work cos [extend enchantments] ends before SF and it make a non-sense to use it.....even if you reapply before it ends it will make you lose all enchatments!!

I made a SF sin for farming cos in need of money, but after 20 runs in the UW with the sin i'm really annoyed to play SF.....even if i can get 4-6 ectos per run and many golds.

[Shadow Form] is pointless on a Dervish. [Extend Enchantments] doesn't help it anymore since buff. [Protective Spirit] doesn't prevent health loss, only damage. And [Death Nova] doesn't activate on removal, only death. And I don't see how the Dervish removing the enchantment himself is much different from it expiring as far as end-effects go.

i tried shadowform with [faithful intervention][watchful intervention] and it works to get your hp back up but isnt really worth the trouble imo, it was kind fun to toy around with though but id never seriously run it.
