Default Picking out a couple of secondary’s for discussion.

Monk or Dervish secondary which in your opinion is better?

[skill]vigorous spirit[/skill] and [skill]restful breeze[/skill] Healing while attacking and great healing when not also the ability to add a resurrection spell.

[skill]Vital Boon[/skill] or [skill]aura of thorns[/skill] and [skill]Mystic Regeneration[/skill] constant healing and other options for conditions.

Both secondaries will have to worry about enchantment rips

Personally I see dervish as a better choice at least for me. Especially when you mix the long lasting cost enchantments with +20% enchantment handle. Not much of an energy concern since you are constantly able to attack.

Dervish I guess, though I'd rather have Ele or Rit...

Yep. Vig spirit is kinda lame. Sand Shards work only with Scythes. Mystic Regen is too much ene, even for Assassin, class with the greatest e-management in the world.

WTF you talking about, Abedeus? Mystic Regen is one of the only good Derv skills for assassin. About a third of all MBlossom builds use it. And the profession with the best e-management is Necro. 30+ energy in 15 seconds, just from sitting on the midline. But yeah, think a bit before you post.

Vig sucks, and i think mystic regen is a bit of a waste. Restful aint bad though but A/D can do WAY better things than heal.

Was not referring to the skill itself, but the useless argument: one third of all moebius builds use it.
1/3 of al the Warrior builds in PvE use healing hands. That means it's good, no?

Spamming Watch Yourself and Go For the Eyes isn't hard, you can actually control your energy more directly

In Pve Necro's have the best Natural Energy management.

A necro does not need to do anything to get energy back.

Paragon's must have adrenaline/ energy and use that.

Sin's must be attacking,etc.

If your getting energy for doing nothing? And its pretty much all the energy you need every 15 seconds?

>.> hmm.

stop arguing over stupid stuff, we all know that its a great skill/build for PVE, regardless of how many builds use it. you just can't beat the crazy regen, perma ias, and perma 75% block combined with insane dps from death blossom.

dont even try to compare it to a healing hands warrior.

I actually have a build for both A/Mo and A/D^^.
The AD is used for Heavy Multi-Damage.
And the A/Mo is good in survival.
Try getting, Vigor Spirit and Live Vicorously with Golden Skill and Death Blossom with Mobious Strike and Critical Strike^^.
It's really fun especially with Critical Defences.
And the A/D just get a schyte with Kurzick Derv Skill, Way of Assassin, Master and some Scyhte attack.
Causing Heavy Damage^^.
Scythe+Scythe Attack+Crit Damage+??% more damage = 100+ Damage each strike^^.
But those Rits with Daggers are better^^.

Vigorous Spirit + Live Vicariously (spelling correctly makes you look a lot smarter) = Way of Perfection. Might not be QUITE as much healing (comes close if you've got 12+ DM and CS, with Crit Eye in there), but it frees up your secondary, gives an extra pip of energy, and only takes up one slot. Plus, VS+LV makes you look like a paladin idiot.
