to much healing, not enough aura of holy might.

I have seen 100 of these dervs everywhere- good for PvE.. but don't you dare bring one into PvP- they do no damage, and can get all their enchants ripped.. usesless build if you ask me-

PvP Dervishes are pretty much Mel and ... Mel.

Vow of Strength typically falls short of attack skills if you don't have Aura of Holy Might pumping your base damage. In that kind of situation, the armor-ignoring damage bonuses are generally going to outweigh the % increase of Vow.

VoS builds also don't need that much energy - at their maximum offensive effectiveness they're basically using two or three enchantments and an IAS, none of which need to be refreshed that often. As such, Zealous Renewal probably isn't necessary, and it's better to run Survivor or +AL insigs on your armor rather than Radiants (which I only find necessary for Mel).

Bringing healing on VoS bars isn't necessarily bad, since you have a really high Earth spec and many free skill slots anyway. Again, the offensive core of the build revolves around essentially three skills: VoS, AoHM, and an IAS, so the rest of the bar is pretty much up to you (within reason). Please bring a res though - on a bar like this there is absolutely no good reason not to.

Nobody mentioned taking this into PvP. This is the PvE section after all..

how about adding an ele skill in there - like conjure flame for example

Complete waste of attributes. You'd get more damage raising Scythe Mastery or Earth Prayers higher.
Conjure damage isn't modified by Vow of Strength since it's a separate pack. Not sure about AoHM with Conjure but I would expect the same.

Coloneh · Nov 18, 2007, 11:49 PM // 23:49

conjure is no longer a separate packet. I dont think VoS would affect it though. it would still add some damage.

dan, if your post about PvP was directed at me, notice that the only line in my response regarding PvP was the first line, which was in reply to Epic.

If you look at the way AoHM actually works (according to wiki), there is no way it would affect Conjure. Specifically, AoHM is said to directly increase your damage rating, rather than multiplying your damage by a set percentage. While this actually makes its effect a lot stronger than listed, it also means that +damage bonuses gain no additional benefit.

It was @ Epic. I just didn't see the point in including PvP references.
