That FoW tank would be better off using secondary. Sure he doesnt need it, but would benefit more from it.
Dunno, if you're talking about Forge quest (havent done other areas in FoW with Dervish sry), then D/Mo with Dwayna for me, beats Balthazar or anything i've seen other people play. You'll get tons of hex on you, which monk cant as efficiently remove in a fast way (without wasting too much energy) - and you can spam RoF and other stuff constantly to remove them. Having no hexes on your when you're fighting first groups, then in the cave, and near forge guy himself, means you can kill stuff much faster, survive better, and not be a threat to any tank near you (if there's one, and there shouldnt be). Not to mention that mending touch is priceless sometimes.

Come up with a Dervish-only build for PvP or PvE, i'll come up with a better one who uses secondary. Go on. Dont call me close minded unless you can prove it.

Arcane zeal+ meditation +zealous renewal
Pious renewal+meditation/other enchant
Meditation is a bad skill which needs a buff.
Arcane Zeal + Zealous Renewal is a horrible skill combination in my oppinion. If you're attacking you're not casting spells, and if you're casting spells you're not attacking. If you're not attacking Renewal is bad, and if you're not casting spells you're wasting elite. If you're doing bit of both you're wasting both skills and their potential.

As i said, post the full build. Then i'll post one which uses secondary profession, and is better than this one.
Balthazar + Conviction is good in areas with too many enchants strips (like in DoA, which is less than 1% of the game), but in more or less all other areas Dwayna + RoF + Prot spirit + Mending Touch beats it in tanking capability without having less dmg. Since i dont even see Dervishes in DoA who cares what's better build there when no build is good enough as of yet. Not to mention that there are a lot of game areas where's you'll take 100dmg or more even with higher armor, but with prot spirit u wont. Plus, these enchants can be helpful for your teammates as well. What if someone in your team needs a fast RoF or prot spirit to avoid dying? Numerous times in PvE someone would die in the group if i didnt do fast proting until monk had energy and reflexes to heal him back, or we simply killed enemy.
As for your avatar of choice, it comes down to Balthazar. Why? Dwayna is better with Mo secondary, Lyssa is better with Assassin or even Paragon secondary. Grenth is better with Warrior secondary. Melandru in itself doesnt badly need secondary, but i've used secondary on it too simply because it's seemed better (warrior or paragon was what i used here i think).
When making a build i always take into account team synergy as well. Do i benefit my team? Do i drain too much monk energy? Do i use skills which synergize nicely with those that team uses? Etc. | |
on the other side is windwalkers +15 armor also not bad...
