If I'm running an MM primary or hero and also a physical damage hero, at least one of the latter is /P for Go For the Eyes. W/ or /W for Watch Yourself is also a big part of the plan.

I made her a D/Me with Sympathetic Visage XD

It actually helps since the melee mobs cannot adrenaline spike after that.

Here's what I've been using to great success:

Signet of Malice
Wearying Sweep
Crippling Sweep
Rending Sweep
Siphon Speed
Res sig
Armor of Sanctity
Ebon Dust Aura

In order, that is:
Deep Wound, Cripple, Disenchantment, Blind, and a good amount of self-defence. No skill is more than 5 energy, so the build is easily sustainable with 9 in Mysticism.

I've tried some of these builds on this thread and I like this one. A couple of things though:
1) Is an IAS worth it?
2) What would you take out for heart of fury?

I gave her Wild Blow + Skullcrack{e} + bunch of earth prayers defensive skills, I can't complain now, she is charging Skullcrack really fast and interrupting well, cancelling annoying stances a she's a good survivor too.

yeah I tried it with Vital Boon out for Heart of Fury, it wasn't bad. Problems were obvious though, the hilariously large armor of a lot of these mobs means the extra attacks don't have as much effect as they should. It appears most of the dmg is done with skills. Also you can't keep HoF up all the time, Mystic Regeneration gets to be a bit of pot luck, the difference is quite large.

Personally i'm a dervish player and I have Melonni as one of my key hero's whenever i go out. So anyway would like to share with you my build for Melonni. Might not be the best but it works for me and am very satisfied.

Looking at Melonni Blinds !
[skill]Mystic Sweep[/skill][skill]Victorious Sweep[/skill][skill]Eremite's Attack[/skill][skill]Mystic Regeneration[/skill][skill]Heart of Fury[/skill][skill]Vital Boon[/skill][skill]Ebon Dust Aura[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

The is what i observe from the AI of melonni. She is generally a very hostile player. She goes upfront to a target uses EBON DUST AURA and spams the first 3 spells. This blinds the target.

Usually players would go for Cleric/Doctor in a group first. So by the time Melonni joins you to fight the same target, you will have 2 blind targets. She uses Mystic Regeneration when she life is low or VItal Boon.

Victorious Sweep is used often so she heals quite alot from this.

Equipment you need is: Ebon Scythe mod.

Eh? Heart of Fury is the best IAS skill in the game.

If you intend to play Dervish without IAS you're betting of playing W/Mo with Mending.

The only exception i can think of is a combo Zealous Vow + Protectors Strike + Eremite + Mystic Sweep.

how is she using avatars?

Cebe · Jan 18, 2007, 08:58 AM // 08:58

Until I made a Dervish myself and unlocked some skills I used her as a Ritualist...since I still have no Razah... 25 base evergy and a staff with +20 energy on and she's fine.

One great use for her is Gate of Madness - she solos Shiro for me while I cap the shrines. She uses all the skills right 90% of the time, but I keep an eye on her to make sure she prioritizes EDA and Staggering Force. With Melonni running this, the hardest part of Gate of Madness was NOT killing Shiro before I had finished capping all the shrines...

Earth Prayers: 14 (12+1+1)
Scythe Mastery: 9
Mysticism: 10 (9+1)

Wild Blow
Conviction
Ebon Dust Aura [E]
Staggering Force
Heart of Fury
Mystic Vigor
Mystic Regeneration
Resurrection Signet

Zealous Scythe of Enchanting 20% (+15% dmg enchanted)

She never ever seems to use Ebon dust aura...

- Tain - · Feb 23, 2007, 10:52 PM // 22:52

What do you have her set to?

Pandora's box · Feb 23, 2007, 11:54 PM // 23:54

Like Tain (you hehe), without Wild Blow, with epidemic after heart of fury , agressive mode. Earth 12+1, Scyte 12+1, Myst 3+3
