Against Interrupts Well YOU got a GREAT chance of DYING.(I hate Mesmers and Rangers).

Build Loses against-Rits(Speacially agaisnt spammers) Mesmers Elementalist (if Interrupter) and Rangers.
Build Wins Against-Sins(May lose Against Condition Sins) & Wars

This build is absolute rubbish and will never go anywhere in life. Why firstly would you want to use a sword? Scythe for AOE ftw. Second, whats the point of using this as a farm build when you can barely agro anything, and almost every caster can own you?

What is it with Dervishes and swords, anyways?
Bloody wammos...

Hey you guys leave this guy alone and stop bagging him out for making a build that he enjoys he is just trying to share his ideas and you guys are bagging him out, i for one are a great supporter of sword wielding dervishes being one myself and i found it a heck lot easier then using a scythe at first i thought it would never work but i've made several really successful builds ( i even have a great solo FoW farmer using swords ), now i'm sure you guys probably had bad experiances using swords with dervishes but it just shows your incapable of managing to use such difficult builds. So don't give this guys a hard time and mate I think your build is great i used a similar one a while back ( i used frenzy in it ).

Stormlord Alex · Jun 02, 2007, 12:00 AM // 00:00

No, the build is terrible.
There's no synergy, he's not using his primary at all, and the only thing he's using Swords for is Jaizenju Strike, which is pretty lame as far as sword skills go.
It's a random selection of Earth Prayers, lacking in anything decent - Mystic Regeneration, and Armor of Sanctity is an obvious skill here too - and if the OP were to add Vow of Strength for real... He simply ought to a) Read skill descriptions b) learn how weapon damage works, then c) uninstall.
Oh, and using any old earth skills with a sword attack isn't exactly 'hard' for the most of us, if *you* find it challenging, Knight... I'm sure you're very special

Dervishes with swords are pretty terrible, outside of tanking/farming, Scythes are an awesome weapon, and far better and more synergetinc with other Derv skills. I'd almost go as far to say that dervishes with swords are completely retarded, but that's just insulting, isn't it?

Actually, OP, please use Frenzy as much as possible.
I'm pretty sure that a Bone Fiend, made from your fresh corpse, would be slightly more useful.
(read: the build is terrible, back to the drawing board)

God your a tool not even giving this guy a chance, there is nothing wrong with what skills you use in a build it's how you use them and your insulting me cause you can't even understand what i'm saying, i didn't say making the build is challenging the challenging thing is making a build using swordsmanship, a sword and health management is the challenging thing losers like you think your always right just beause you've been playing just that little bit longer then people. How are those inexperianced people meant to become any good at the game when people like you just pay them out, at the least give this guy some advice on developing his build don't just be a smartarse about it saying he should research it then quit the game and give sword weilders a chance just because you can't manage using one doesn't mean there complete crap.

Good going with the sword build.

It's inspired me.

I think I'm going to make a wand dervish damage dealer build, using my Furious Fire Wand of Dwarfslaying.

Rijasy · Jun 02, 2007, 05:56 AM // 05:56

I think its an intriguing build. I was also interested in the idea of a sword wielding dervish but havent had the time to invest in it. I will look into this when I have the time, and hopefully this build will offer some insight to aid me.

(I guess I'm just attracted to the odd builds :P)

The Defiled Knight · Jun 02, 2007, 06:49 AM // 06:49

Haha don't blame yah it's great to be differant from everyone else =P

howlinghobo · Jun 02, 2007, 01:54 PM // 13:54

people aren't insulting him because he doesnt conform to cookie cutter builds

this guy uses a sword with much lower dps than a scythe, and no attributes to allow for the ar bonus from a shield, theres a reason why 2 handed weapons are stronger than 1 handed ones, but this guy's just toatlly ignored it

The Defiled Knight · Jun 02, 2007, 10:49 PM // 22:49

But that's what sword weilders are about, there all about taking a stupid risk and alot of the time your build wont be successful that happens alot but sometimes you make an absoloutley great one, sword weilding dervishes are meant to ignore things like how damn good the scythes are, i'm a sword weilding dervish but i use scythes aswell depending on the situation.

Another point i like to make is yes this build may look stupid but it probably works great for the guy who made it i know i have alot of sword builds that my guildies have tried but been completely crap at using but when i use the builds my guildies tried i completely own anything whether i'm PvPing, ABing or just doing PvE i even have a great solo for FoW that uses swords.

So you may not agree with this but i believe it's how you use a build not what you are using in it because the exact same thing happens with my scythe builds and my rangers builds n stuff i'm great with them but my mates are rubbish.

Well now i'm gunan stop posting on this thread i've practically taken it over =P see ya'll around.

Tioshi · Jun 14, 2007, 12:50 AM // 00:50

I havent played for only 2months and i forgot everything about GW...so i havent researched for more than 2months + i even updated this build without knowing it was named Bomber or w/e i didnt even know it existed except yesterday...check the Thread Waponless Killer in this same Section

Yeah, kids own everything and they are 1337. I'm old and stupid, that I know too.

Why one would use sword over Scyte with one skill which is not even spammable?

The Defiled Knight · Jun 19, 2007, 07:29 AM // 07:29

Dude get a freaking life i bet you havn't even tried it, mabe you should accept people like to use unique builds and hey some of those people who try out this sorta build do screw up and can't quite grasp it and then some people make builds tha are great maybe tools like you should accept that some people are differant and try other things instead of just sticking to sterotypical dervishes if you only use the original weapons for your character you must be a really boring person... and i bet that when you were at school you were a little retard that followed the cool kid crowd... seriously you've got problems.

And this is directed to everyone who thought the idea of sword weilding dervishes are lame and useless and I really don't care what you guys say about me for defending this guys ideas.

Cathode_Reborn · Jun 19, 2007, 08:03 AM // 08:03

When using the weapon of your 2ndary prof, the question to ask is "what could you do that they can't?"

The problem with this build: everything it can do, a warrior can do alot better.

[skill]Avatar of Lyssa[/skill] A warrior can't even use this. If you're gonna use a weapon that swings faster than a scythe, take advantage of the speed.

[skill]Heart of Fury[/skill] The only IAS in the game that isn't a stance. Use it.

[skill]Hamstring[/skill] A warrior doesn't have the energy to spam this. A derv has plenty.

.....anyways you get the point.

Tioshi · Jun 22, 2007, 05:41 PM // 17:41

Another Thnkxs for Defiled lol

Anyways like i said i already change the Build go to Weaponless killer just some threads after this one ok... insult me over there plz...

~Let Your First Breath Be Your Last One~

Skuld · Jun 25, 2007, 09:14 AM // 09:14

Defiled, explain to my why sword dervishes have any advantage to scythe dervishes. Explain, I do not expect a barrage of garbled anger containing any of these words: unique, break, life, omg, grasp, original, cookie-cutter, stereotype. Just explain to me, calmly and clearly, why, please.

.... i recommend tutoring, but i guess for someone like you even that wouldn't go far.

anyways, I'm not against sword wielding dervish but thats not going to work. like you said it doesnt work against anyone, except for warriors and assassins. its limited even there. take advantage of the dervish energy pool by using those sword attacks that warriors dont have enough energy to spam or use effectively.dervish have a lot of potential with any weapon but in general i recommend staying with a scythe in most cases.
