Hello everyone, I consider this to be my best dervish build, and was wondering if you all could tell me what you think of it. I've never used these forums, so I can't do the fancy formatting but here goes

.

Skills:

Wearying Strike
Signet of Agony
Plague Sending
Plague Touch
Mystic Regeneration
Contagion
Dark Aura
Ressurection Signet

Attributes:

9 Blood Magic
9 Death Magic
9+4 Scythe Mastery
7+1 Earth Prayers
7+2 Mysticism

The idea of the build is to spam conditions while laying down some heavy aoe damage. You enchant up with dark aura, contagion, and mystic regeneration. Then you find your target, hit wearying strike (the weakness triggers contagion and the sacrafice on contagion triggers dark aura), hit signet of agony (the self bleeding on the signet triggers the combo again, and you have applied aoe weakness/bleeding). Now hit plague sending (which triggers dark aura again) if you see some people grouped up to give them 25s aoe bleeding, then plague touch the weakness onto whatever is closest.

Any similarities to builds already in existence is purely coincidental. I always seem to find some awsome combo a week after its debut

. What do you think?

Put in another enchantment in place or sending or touch, maybe? seems like a waste of space to have both, and you dont get much regen out of 8 earth MR+2 enchants.
Other than that, looks fun as hell, will try it.
EDIT: Aren't the attributes spread a little thin?
EDIT2: This is the single most damaging build I've ever used on PvE. You need 2 or 3 monks so you don't kill yourself, but just Contagion+Wearying Strike makes up for the fragility. AWESOME, thanx.

I'm glad you like it

. The reason i have plague sending is for runners, the 25s bleeding hurts pretty bad when you can't get is off you, so I put it in with plague touch in case you can't get to someone in time, but its also useful if you get hit with blinding surge, just hit some grouped up warriors with plague sending to get rid of the condition. I like it because its ranged AND aoe, but by itself it can't remove the conditions you apply to yourself with the recharge.

have an alternative for plague sending?

dont have prophecies

ty in advance

Before using plague sending, I was using mystic vigor to soften the constant hp sacrifice. It worked well, was just harder to get conditions off myself sometimes. IIRC, the signet and dark touch are prophecies as well (im not certain, they may be core). Hope that works out for you

This build was on wiki before the wipe, plague sending being the optional slot, in which I used armour of sanctity as you will be surrounded by foes suffering from a condition.

I have to agree tho, i have this build and it too for me is the biggest dmg dealing build i've ever played

By "this build" do you mean the exact build I posted was posted on guildwiki? Ouch. Thats a punch to the gut. The best build I've ever designed was on guildwiki

lol yup, all except plague sending (although it could be used in the optional slot) but gj for coming up with it anyway

It is a really strong build imo.

Great_Harvester · May 20, 2007, 04:02 PM // 16:02

Oh well, thanks. I'll still use it and consider it my masterpiece build.

The attributes are all different, and I like yours better after trying both.
