That would be strange, no one would be able to kill dervs then. In either case- I love the skin on Balth, its good eye candy imo. Make the bitch dance lol

I rather it be dead than overpowered.

And it isn't too dead as of now. I daresay imo it's better than the other three Avatars in PvP...

...Grenth?

In some situations it may be more helpful than Lyssa. But immunity to blindness, and near-immunity to hexes, in general are much more helpful than ignoring prot enchants because they affect you regardless of who you attack (with the exception of for instance Aegis, which is seldom-used anyway).

Grenth is the God of death- my assuming his avatar (these days) what you should anticipate is death. He also has a crappy dance, necro rocker ftw

So you'd rather look cool then be effective? That's pretty bad.

Well

If the best player in the world always played as a balthazar dervish and the second best player always played a melandru dervish. The second best player would be considered the best. When it comes down to being good at the game, you can only be as good as your skillbar will let you.

That said I've only seen one decent balthazar build.

Any dervish bar no matter how bad it is can be made better by changing the elite from avatar of balth to an elite that actually does something.
