I recently dusted off my Dervish for the purpose of Glacial Stone farming, but now I feel an intense need to play him.

So, I must ask, which GWEN title track would you all recommend? Armor is inconsequential; I only wish to obtain skills that fit the Dervish playstyle.

Bowstring Badass · Jun 17, 2008, 04:16 AM // 04:16

All of them. Just do all the quests for the skills and crap and grab the select few that will work.

it takes like 2hours to do it, so just take them all. The norn is uber easy and uber fast aswell, adn it also gives u Ursan if u are gaving trouble with pugs

IMO it's Norn.
Skill line from this faction gives a melee character an edge. Many +damage useful skills like Dodge This!, I am the Strongest!... Or a great skill for aggroer, I am Unstoppable!

Dwarven is by far the fastest, both with or without farming. Norn + Asuran are about middle and require a bit of grind, while vanguard is by far the slowest, there are only 3 areas you can get it in and its grind city. Make sure to save your books for vanguard for that reason.

In terms of skills, here's the wiki link, go pick what you like. Each line has a few awesome skills and lots of mediocre ones. Most of the skills are pretty good on any class, and as a dervish you should have energy available for them.

Dwarven and Norn skill lines contain useful skills for melee characters, and are pretty easy to get a high level in.

The most useful for Dervish are Norn and Dwarven skills. And Dwarven is the fastest and easiest to max - sit 3 days at snowmen and you're okay.

There are a lot of skills to use as a Derv - Finish Him, Dodge This, I Am Unstoppable (almost a stamped skill on melee EotN build), Signet of Infection (free diseased if you are using Wounding Strike), Ebon Standard of Honor/Wisdom, Ebon Vanguard Assassin/Sniper Support. Sadly only 3 work at once ;[

Yeah, probably Norn first and foremost. After that I'd recommend Asura for stuff like Pain Inverter and Asuran Scan. Dwarf has GDA, which is nice, but ranks don't help it so much...

zelgadissan · Jun 17, 2008, 06:43 PM // 18:43

[I Am the Strongest!]...[Dodge This!]...[I Am Unstoppable!]...Dervish domination. [You Move Like a Dwarf!] can help with kiters as well, but not necessary on a Dervish.

Dwarven would be second with skills such as [Light of Deldrimor] as yet another PBAoE bomb and [Brawling Headbutt] for obvious reasons.

-Makai- · Jun 17, 2008, 07:47 PM // 19:47

Thanks for the replies. I think I'll go with Dwarven and Norn as most have suggested. It's a shame that [Club of a Thousand Bears] doesn't knock down multiple foes, though...

Ooh...double reputation point weekend is coming. Excellent timing.

N1ghtstalker · Jun 17, 2008, 07:52 PM // 19:52

i like the asura summons
always good to enlighten pressure when those things get targeted

-Lotus- · Jun 20, 2008, 10:02 PM // 22:02

go for norn first. you can get to arount r6 very quickly and "I am the strongest!" pumps out ridiculous damage for 5 energy.

Dronte · Jun 20, 2008, 10:17 PM // 22:17

What is the best place to farm deldrimor? Secret Lair of the Snowmen HM , or there is something faster?

zelgadissan · Jun 20, 2008, 11:34 PM // 23:34

I refuse to believe anything can beat HM Snowmen for Deldrimor. Obviously HM books but this weekend it's probably equal if not better TBH and much much simpler (although much much more mindnumbing).

Shadowmere · Jun 21, 2008, 04:16 PM // 16:16

There's a lot of useful skills in Dwarven & Norn as people have said but [Asuran Scan] is a wonderful skill for any physical damage dealer. I has more uses for a sin as they have skills that can play of it being a hex but the +25-75% attacks are nice for anyone.

the cast time on that is longer than it already takes to kill almost every foe as a lyssa derv. very pointless.

Bowstring Badass · Jun 22, 2008, 06:55 AM // 06:55

I agree with lotus. Asuran scan is still useful on dungeon bosses though bout the only thing though.
