Probably saying the obvious or someone else has already made this build and was not found by search.

Skill Setup:
1. Ebon Dust Aura
2. Veil Of Thorns
3. Armor Of Sanctity
4. Conviction
5. Vital Boon
6. Reap Impurities
7. Optional (Ermites attack/Mystic Sweep/Twin moon sweep-Remove Vital boon)
8. Optional (Rez sig)

Attributes:
12+4 Earth
9+1 Scythe
9+1 Mysticism
7 Unspent

Weapon: Bubahl's Grasp or any earth damage scythe
Armor: + energy(Recommended) or +armor while enchanted or stance

Build is shutdown by mass enchant removal. (Not meant for enchant shutdown on foes)

Notes: Use Veil of Thorns and Armor of Sanc as an easy to understand combo. Activate dust aura and spread blind with your two-three attack skills. Reap Impurities is decent healing of 160sh. Build listed is meant to be a semi-modifiable Dervish core. Apologies for the idiot moment and not saying so earlier.

Not Tested: Can possibly 2-man underworld by switching the rez sig for rending aura(To deal with Shield of Judgement from smites) and bringing a famine ranger.

Ebon Dust Aura

Elite Enchantment Spell. For 30 seconds, if you are wielding an earth weapon, your attack skills also cause Blindness for 4...9 seconds.

I dont see where your build even utilized the skill... and i dont see any skill on your bar to "mass enchant removal"... you'd need Mystic Sandstorm for that

What you need is to ditch reap impurities

grab a hassin's Shell (10AL no req shield) a nice Q9 Axe and use Cyclone

try...

Axe 9+1
Earth 10+2
Mysticism 11+3+1

Cyclone Axe
Penetrating Blow
Ebon Dust Aura
Aura of Thorns
Mystic Regeneration
Armor of Sanctuary
Vital Boon
Sig of Pious Light / Res

Windwalkers insignias(15AL with 3 enchants up)

AL.. 70+10+15 = 95
Zealous Axe with 20% enchant 15%while Enchanted

or something to the extent that your applying attack skills otherwise ebon dust aura is useless. if ur looking to to do a mass enchant removal u need something like mystic Sandstorm... and then u can just use dust cloak to apply blindnees to everyone when the enchantment ends

anyways... your suggested build unfortunately is useless

sry... unless im way overlooking something

You are.

You are overlooking the fact that he is not trying to DO mass enchantment removal, it is a COUNTER to his build.

His build is designed to apply blind to masses of mobs at once.

reap impurities is his attack skill to cause blinding, which is a poor choice with an 8 second recycle.

Consider mystic sweep or wearying sweep for their fast recycle times. Since you have no secondary, take D/N and plague touch (or better yet, plague sending) out the weakness, for even more tanking goodness.

So, in summary.

Skill Setup:
1. Ebon Dust Aura
2. Veil Of Thorns
3. Armor Of Sanctity
4. Conviction
5. Vital Boon
6. Wearying strike
7. Plague Sending
8. Optional (Rez sig)

Attributes:
12+4 Earth
9+1 Scythe
9+1 Mysticism
Rest into curses, or leave as 0, either work fine.

Usage: Raise your 'shields' (enchants) and whack a fat group of mobs with wearying strike, sharply followed by plague sending. The group of mobs is now blinded and weakened. If they actually manage to hit you while in a blinded frenzy, they will do quite a bit less damage.

I had actually started this build out with as a derv/mes with physical resistance instead of conviction but decided to leave it as a full dervish core. Somehow dropped ermites attack, Mystic sweep, and twin moon sweep as "Optional" without thinking. Reap Impurities is for the health gain which negates quite a bit of the damage you're taking over Blind on 3 or more mobs and the reduced damage from Veil Of Thorns + Armor of Sanctity combo.
