Meh, try:

[skill]Mystic Sweep[/skill][skill]Eremite's Attack[/skill][skill]Protector's Strike[/skill][skill]Rush[/skill][skill]Heart Of Fury[/skill][skill]Eternal Aura[/skill][skill]Avatar Of Lyssa[/skill] + res

I guess you could swap Rush for [skill]Wild Blow[/skill].

And for the pictures you type [ skill] Name Here [/ skill] (without the spaces).

Isn't [skill]Pious Haste[/skill] better than Rush for a Dervish, anyway? It costs energy and rends, but it's pretty cheap, can be kept up permanently, and you probably don't need both HoF and increased run speed at the same time...

Might be an issue of taste though, I *have* seen builds using both (P.S. I mean both PH and Rush builds, not builds with both at the same time

). I've just found Pious Haste more helpful in alliance battles...

To the OP - if you can you might want to reconsider rune use - yes 12 mysticism is a good breakpoint but keep in mind that HP is important for a Dervish, and by having a Superior AND a Major rune you're cutting out over 100.

As far as i remember HoF doesn't catch kiters..

Rush can also be kept up permantly mid-battle (pious haste can't really be used mid-battle). It costs adrenline freeing up energy for your other stuff, and doesn't strip HoF.

I always have pious haste for AB too.. but that's for running around, not chasing flee'ers.

[skill]golden fox strike[/skill][skill]fox fangs[/skill][skill]nine tail strike[/skill]

Washi · Nov 27, 2007, 11:26 AM // 11:26

That's what I use. Sometimes I swap HOF for run skill since mystic/eremite are fast enough :P Wild blow is one of the best skills in game, and it benefits from scythe's high max dmg.

Yeah my sec is an ele. I guess I could change to warrior. This was my first char. so I had no idea when I picked ele. It looked cool I guess. thanks for the advice. So I shoud use a major and a minor or two majors. I figured the dps was important and the sup was cheaper. I guess I know why now.

Sirius-NZ · Nov 28, 2007, 04:32 AM // 04:32

Ele has a few good skills - sometimes Signet of Lesser Energy is handy - but not for a Lyssa build.

Its not bad, but I have one question:

Do I get a free 7 day trial?

kaldak · Nov 29, 2007, 05:13 AM // 05:13

Dont forget about [skill]Radiant Scythe[/skill]! Works great with the lyssa energy boost.

Sirius-NZ · Nov 29, 2007, 11:34 AM // 11:34

...yeah. Actually, I've hit things for well over 100 damage with that (generally 60 armor enemies, but it's still a lot).

[skill]Heart of Fury[/skill] is a must with Avatar of Lyssa.

If you go secondary warrior you can also consider using an axe or sword with a shield. They have faster base attack speed, which will benefit AoL as well.

If you put some points in tactics you get the benefit from the shield as well. You can then use some sword/axe ot tactics attack skills. (things like Jaizhenju strike, pure strike, barbarous slice, silverwing slash, distracting blow)

You could load up with 1/2 sec atatck skills from the warrior skills, but imo you don't really need the fast skills if you're using Heart of Fury.

It's just an alternative to consider.

Not really, tbh.
[skill]eremite's attack[/skill][skill]mystic sweep[/skill][skill]protector's strike[/skill] are far more reliable than blindly wailing at something with an IAS, and should be on every Lyssa bar.

I dunno I personally like Aura of Holy Might + Heart of Fury. I get consistently high damage even without the added spike damage from AoL.

I think he's talking about PvP, since he put Protector's Strike there to deal high damage against kiting foes.

Protector's Strike is there because its a 1/2 second cast time attack, allowing you to more easily time it during your target's skill activations to trigger the +damage from AoL. Besides, its only got a 3 second recharge.

If the point were to bring it for kiters, Bull's Strike would be a way better option. Protector's Strike is only +10 damage at 0 Strength.

Sirius-NZ · Nov 29, 2007, 08:56 PM // 20:56

Crippling Victory/Sweep do pretty well against kiters as well.

I switched my sec to warrior and put in [skill]wild blow[/skill] along with , [skill]Heart of Fury[/skill],[skill]Mystic Sweep[/skill], [skill]Eremite's Attack[/skill]. I used [skill]Eternal Aura[/skill] and I was crushing people. Thanks for the advice.

Coloneh · Nov 30, 2007, 04:08 AM // 04:08

also get aura of holy might if you can.
