From the list #2 with SV instead of distortion is my favorite
3 is also very good because u can step in and out....

But, if your talking dervish builds... try this idea... run with a scythe (hit up to 3 targets) and use Sand Shards instead of distortion.... ive ran that before, for dmg, its about the most effective build, much much better then cyclone axe imho... even try same with veil of thorns instead of leach signet... keeps enemies close, crippled, and dying...

scythe = no offhand

no offhand = 12 less energy

12 less energy = harder to keep up with build's energy demands

1. i used it before, i guess they nerfed it. not that i was "lying" i just didnt know they did that.... like i said, use to run it...

2. you can always do this trick its F1 = 1 weapon set, F2 = 2 weapon set... works wonders

3. with this build, as i said before, i highly recommend hiding your energy when you can, because the whole build is based around a skill that requires 15 eng....

My advice is to try them all. Most of the builds here work good, and are sometimes just fun to play whether it is the best for the situation or not

I like the Me/D type as well. Dwayna's Touch is a good heal and whirling charge can give you an IAS. in any case, all builds are horribly susceptible to enchantment removal, so a few of the builds with illusion degen at least allow you to do _something_ when your IW gets stripped.
