You're forgetting that reaper's sweep causes DW when used at the right time. That's the potential for around a 150 damage hit. But yea, it may well be a choice to either have an elite for armour or an elite for damage. But at the end of the day, a melee's job is to kill things, not tank. More damage makes that happen.

2)With un-needed you mean that a melee can have 70 armor withouth taking huge damage? i dont think that. for the armor matter its and imho-way.
Monks prot you. They stop damage alot better than you do, which frees up slots to get proper skills as appose to more armour.

3) your personal opinion.
And many others' opinions too, i believe. Lyssa > PvE. Wounding / Melandru > PvP. Why would you want to spend an elite on a bit more armour when you have those skills available?

Erm Frenzy and Heal sig work fine on lvl 1 mantids ok


getting back to the topic- balthazar's avatar is perhaps the most used but one of the most (negatively) criticized elite skills on dervs. I use it more than i use grenth, so there must be something really good about it 8)

Lyssa and the tree kill stuff. Balthazar does not. Thus, balthazar sucks.

I'll pass on that. A couple days ago tried to explain that as long as you meet the requirement, the damage on a req13 is the same as the damage on a req7. There was much disagreement, and I went to do other things :P.

Grenth is a relatively horrible avatar in most cases but, can is useful in some elite monk tome farms- esp the insect monk bosses outside sunspear sanctuary.

I've made a lot of money spamming balth when running people-only because i cant be arsed running with a mo/e. The holy dmg bonus you get from it and its consistent spamming capacity makes it worthwhile against swarms of undead.

I really only see this skill in PvE, where the +40 armor and faster running is most useful. And combined with Eternal Aura, it can be maintained infinitly.
Also its used a lot for running.

Only thing is, when I see someone use it in RA, TA, or AB, I'm just thinking, well they are down a competent player...

Correct. If your profession has a melee weapon and your elite doesn't make that melee weapon kill stuff, you are wasting a slot.

Whooo, I'm not alone.

I was banging my head against the wall earlier trying to explain why wasting half of a Derv's bar on heals and defense is baed

Might leave...
