Curse

I just switched from a warrior. I can see right away that there are 2 ways to go with a Dervish. I can get lots of survivability and be very self sufficient, or I can become a very powerful spiker.

What do you recomend?

I think im going to try 16 scythe with a conjure just to see some 150+ crits, but I dont know how good it will actually be.

This is for RA mostly.

I think it's possible to go D/E wounding strike spiker, and bring some survivability.

Just don't go near Avatar of Balthazar...it sucks!

im pretty sure there are way more than 2 ways to play any class.

Damage. You don't need to be self-sufficient if all the enemies are dead. Its your monk/supports job to keep you alive, not yours.

Damage, you're a freaking DPS machine.
And don't even try to get near AoB (it's like Mending for Warriors).
Oh, and don't use Sup for Scythe Mastery, Major is definitely enough (if not Minor, which I personally prefer).

He is asking about RA. You are only 1/4 if you do luck out and get an actual monk then you may not have a problem. But if the monk is pressured you will need someway to keep yourself alive. Some healing is not a bad idea. You can still get a spike in.

You can get 150+ crits in PvE, but in PvP you generally have to balance your build so that it will actually work against some of the tricks people will try to pull. For that reason, most PvP builds rarely top 100 per hit. But that's OK, because you can land enough hits in succession to make it painful for your target anyway.
