Hello. I just recently created a Legendary Survivor character, so I bought max armor+weapon+elite tome.
I couldn't decide whether or not which avatar to pick. My friends are saying AoB or AoL, but I'm only on Noob Island, Elona, so I don't think AoL who'd help.
I think AoB would work, but I've heard that AoB isn't that good

So which should I pick?
Thanks in advance!

P.S. I'm a D/Mo

Avatar of Melandru would be good for a survivor character. +100 health and immunity to conditions.

Yeah either Melandru or Dwayna. Dwayna gives a heal and hex removal but melandru is probably the more solid of the two. Survivor Dervish should be Melandru with a buttload of earth prayers. You may do dick for damage but you will be a damage sponge.

imo dwayna is better. with some spammable attacks and skills, plus conviction to raise your armor, you'll do better than with mel

2 cond 1 hex each time :P

arkantos, i need to steal your avatar.

i'm not such a big fan of using avatars on a survivor dervish. something that will be down for a minute at a time just seems rather unreliable.

Why do you need to spend a tome on elites that are just outside Sunspear sanctuary?

Coloneh · Oct 21, 2007, 06:40 AM // 06:40

he is on noob island and is running a survivor character.

Just stay well away from Avatar Of Balthazar, will you?

moko · Oct 21, 2007, 11:35 AM // 11:35

ava of batasar u can hav armor nd run wen u get in trouble!!!!!!111 so ggud omg

...

melandru imo.

Coloneh · Oct 21, 2007, 02:28 PM // 14:28

dawanya and melandru. bout dawanya for lower levels for sure. no way you would be able to maintain melandru.

Marverick · Oct 21, 2007, 02:48 PM // 14:48

Use Melandru, mobs tend to not attack players with high health so with that, Vital Boon, and Great Dwarf Armor you will rarely get attacked. Also no deep wound = less chance of getting spiked down.
Eternal Aura will keep it up.

Balthazar may be good for defense but it has absolutely no value in offensive purposes in PvE. At least Melandru allows you to use Wearying Strike for a Deep Wound.

Dean Harper · Oct 21, 2007, 06:02 PM // 18:02

AoM if you want survivor

AoL+Wild Blow/Spammable attacks if you want extra damage+energy pool

AoD if you need to get rid of conditions and feel you need extra healing

Its really not even that good for defense. There's more to staying alive than just having a big stack of armor on you. Dervishes already have really good survivability options.

To the OP, if you simply must use an avatar, use Melandru. I would probably use Vow of Silence, immunity to spells would be extremely nice on a Survivor. Plus it would feel like less of a waste of an elite tome.
