Ive been Toying around with this little spike for a while in RA and when I took it to EoTN it was incredible against the Charr.
I was using

Mirage Cloak+Twin Moon Sweep
Wounding Strike, Victorious Sweep, Mystic Regen, Eternal Aura, and Faithful Intervention.

So I always kept Faithful up and the Mini-Spike was, Mirage Cloak-Wounding Strike-Twin Moon Sweep-Eternal Aura.

Lemme know what you think

Wounding Strike -> Mystic Sweep / Eremite's Attack is much, much stronger.

And less energy demanding...

How about [Faithful Intervention] > [Heart of Fury] > [Aura of Holy Might (Luxon)] > [Eremite's Attack] > [Mystic Sweep] > [Pious Assault].

Pious Assault is much stronger than Twin Moon in my opinion, though it does cost more, it also allows you to dish out deep wound without using an elite slot. Aura of Holy Might deals damage on putting on and strpping the enchantment. Eremite's and Mystic are strong skills, as Tyla says, and their quick attack speed will help the spike. Perhaps go for some [[Wild Blow] action in there for moar overpowered lulz. Possible use for [[Onslaught] in that build? Or [[Avatar of Lyssa] for more spikiness.

(I've not tested that by the way, was just my immediate thoughts - and granted, wouldn't be any use for RA. )

Unless you don't count waiting for a minute to get energy back up...

I always thought +20 ENERGY was e-management on a dervish. Check out that Sunspear skill he has that keeps your enchantments up forever. This is PvE, after all.

I might get rid of a few enchantments, like Mirage Cloak, and toss in [skill]radiant scythe[/skill]. It's almost a spike in itself. If you are hitting them that hard, you don't really need the cloak.

2) with 12 in mysticism u gain +4 ene each time an enchants ends and that build has 4 enchants. A dervish has +4energy regen.
3)Obviously you don't have to use all the skill to kill a mob, but just some combinations like [mirage cloak] + [pious assault].
4)I used this build in RA and pawned a sin in less then 10 secs....and i had no problems with energy.

Cheers RA is full of idiots, you can't judge a build's effectiveness by using it there.


I'd also like to know how you got [eternal aura] and [aura of holy might] into RA.

Cheers What Milkflopance said, and RA really does mean nothing. It only gives you a small basis on what skills work and what skills don't, and I even believe that part untrue.

And 10 seconds is nothing, in terms of energy.

I just wanted to say that for a fast spike u need to use many skills which requires more energy...full enchanted and using many attack skills requires much energy.

@Milkflopance: obviously i did not use [aura of holy might] nor [eternal aura] in pvp....i'm not so dumb to put skills i cannot use
