Ehhh.. I usually enter from ID or Kor districts so the players aren't bad like that.

Ofc enchant removal is useful, but trying to cram everything into one bar is dumb.

EDIT: I thought you said linebacking < monk stomping before, but whatever :P

..... only Kor here. But Kor is kinda "wtf" lately, dun know why Chinese dis mayb? :/

Dropping S&M isn't that painful so switching it for rip or rend worths it. Crip + gash is enough to kill though.

BTW, what's that avatar?

Mirage Cloak imo. I haven't tried Patient Spirit in a D/Mo but it should work pretty well (taking the place of Mystic Regen).

With no condition nor hex removal? No.....just........no. I would rather sacrifice blocking and be able to remove important hexes on me, such as spiteful spirit, crippling anguish, arcane conundrum, etc...

None of these are actually a problem.

"Coward!" is good, near broken imho. It's not very common, but when I face it it's usually a big PITA ><. even been running it on a derv, but wounding strike was just too good to pass up. Annoying thing is that you can cast it on a completely different target then the one your wailing on so sometimes people just don't see it coming ><.

Hey everyone, this is my first post on this forum.

I'm playing GW for about 2 years now, but I was inactive for a few months. I just bought Nightfall, so the D and P are new for me. I like to hang around in RA and I'm wondering if someone could post a fun Dervish build to play with in RA?

Thanks in advance.

It is not only your perfect skills that play a role in this, communication or the lag therein plays a role too, and we all know, that pings aren't very constant. So stochastics play a role in chaining KD perfectly.
Maybe my connection is just pretty good. I can consistently quarter people almost every time.

stuff about crushing, energy, flail, completely different bar, etc.
nah, i was really only talking about 1 skill replacement. pulverizing is fine, and since you have an energy based ias, it's probably even preferable. Flail is no good unless you have crushing either. You also don't have bull's strike, so your energy is only going to your ias and your cancel. You should be able to afford power attack instead of fierce blow just fine.

Try this:

[build prof=W/any hammer=12+1+1 Strength=12+2][Backbreaker][Pulverizing Smash][Body Blow][Heavy Blow][Power Attack][Enraging Charge][burst of aggression][Resurrection Signet][/build]

I put a major strength in because it's RA, so the lower health shouldn't be as much of an issue and it's worth it for the breakpoint on enraging. Heavy blow and Hammer bash are interchangeable in this build. Sometimes you might want to bash right after you kill the other guy with backbreaker. The other flexibility options are lost though--you aren't going to land a deep wound if backbreaker misses, even if you can still bash.

Body Blow is strictly better than mighty blow since i do 14 strength. Same damage and a very small chance it could be used to deep wound without a kd. Otherwise, you can probably just run mighty blow like you were. It should play exactly the same as the one you posted, except you can quarter knock someone if you want.

A good Warrior (particularly Hammer) and a good Monk can pull two other complete morons for match after match. Damage + Healing = Win.

QFT. One good damage dealer>three bad. 1 Warrior+3 Monk team just rolled RA while overpowering their heal/prot alone. (Perma frenzy while trusting monks is nice)

By metaing against it do you mean SBS? Because they'll strip that. Mend Touch will gimp you pretty hard considering you have to stop to use it (5e) then chase your target which will probably be kiting.

My 'metaing' against SoM is DBlow, though they still shit on your face with MoI + SoM.

Oh well. Shit skill is shit.

I use Plague Touch and throw the blind on someone else that isn't the Me/N. With a fairly low amount of Attribute(4, but go 5 in case of weakness), you can make Plague touch send 2 conditions and you don't lose the momentum you do with Mending Touch. It works in RA because most Me/N think they win on the first blind.

Being as its cheap, I was considering Plague Sending at one time too, but Plague Touch has no recharge and sacrifice would hurt a bit since my warrior has high life.

I think he's taking it for the 1/2 speed attack. I don't like it though, Hammers need the knockdown, they aren't as powerful or even as fast as scythe.
