Drop the sup rune. Get deep wound: pious assault.
that's meh at best, but better than other balth builds.

Drop the Earth Prayers, drop the sup rune, drop Faithful Intervention.

Replace with good skills, including Pious Assault.

Conviction and the armor from Balth will not stack, Conviction and Mystic Regen both hit breakpoints at 8 so you can drop an attribute point if you really want to take either.

If you're going to take Faithful Intervention to AB, you may as well take Crippling Sweep as well. The new FOTM is to bring Attacker's Insight and Chilling Victory + Pious Assault + Eremite's Attack for a retarded spike.

It's hard to screw up a Dervish in AB considering you do stupid amounts of damage just from autoattacks and have access to 20 different ways to heal yourself.

Sup runes are bad, use a minor.

If you really want to use Balth....
[skill]Avatar of Balthazar[/skill][skill]Attacker's Insight[/skill][skill]Chilling Victory[/skill][skill]Pious Assault[/skill][skill]Eremite's Attack[/skill][skill]Natural Healing[/skill]

Fill with one of:
[skill]Wild Blow[/skill] + Distracting Strike
Grenth's Aura + Pious Fury
[skill]Siphon Speed[/skill][skill]Disrupting Dagger[/skill]
[skill]Shadow Walk[/skill][skill]Dash[/skill]

okay if i drop earth prayers wat should I use for healing?

If I was to use AoB i would drop conviction for pious assault but i was to use melandru or other avatar i might keep it.

Attacker's Insight fuels Chilling+Pious superspikes, and since you'll be jettisoning the AI enchantment, you can get away with Natural Healing as long as you're not using Heart of Fury.

Mystic Regeneration is only good if you can easily keep up 2 other enchantments.

The problem is that it's crap, +24 armor is not going to save or help you nearly as much as, say, a block stance, interrupt, snare, or speed boost will.
