It's more than likely indeed... But I wanted to have a complete list so that people would have a reference to speak about what could/should be changed and what is fine... :smiley:

[Erasculio]

I would like to thank the community, especially tarutaru and CMEPTb, for posting skill guides amazingly fast. We couldn't use those two on the Wiki thanks to a matter of layout (so Cérillia had a lot of work himself), but they surely helped the community a lot. Thanks. :cloud9:

they did seem a bit too good at the weekend, compared to the paragon

i found this so just if a mod r someone wants to fix it


All nearby foes take 40-100 holy damage. For 20 seconds, this Enchantment does nothing(s). When this Enchantment ends, you gain 4-10 Health for each successful hit while under the effects of this Enchantment.

take of the s on nothing!

thx :wave:

[BrotherGrimm]

Any chance availability on any skills will be updated?

[Krytans Warbringer]

i just wanted to say i saw that the place you find elite skill avatar of lyssa wasnt there so i would like to say where it is in sunward reach but its only there as long as u didnt do the mission at leads thru sunward reach i didnt find out if you can get it anyother way

[Elena]

recent update fixed acolyte of Lyssa not spawning after you done cemetry

[Nanashi]

Well with 16 myst I can get Avatars up to 79 seconds, says 60 on there. o.O

[Mizgog]

I think it's quite good that we got a Dervish skill guide quite fast, almost just after it came out.

I'm rather sad about the nerf that's sure to come though, Dervish is good as it is :sad: .

Also as you can see by my avatar, i love the skill :happy: .

Yep.

Check out D/Mo Forge Runner (http://guildwars.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=430171) in the guides.

[Sven IF]

Thanks, I'll need it, normally I would run solo droks with R/D, but I don't find a quest to get of island with my R so...

[cal k]

what skil do you recommend for D/W?

[Mizgog]

I hope the dervish doesn't get nerfed, if it does anet will most likely destroy farming and running builds.

In fact dervishes are just as vulnerable as other professions it's just how you use the skills to your advantage.

i love Dervish:heart: :p
i have a Dervish/Monk and its realy good :)

[death note]

hi , i havent been playing or kept up with updates so this might sound dumb but can someone help me out with info on the two skill ? pious assault and ebon dust arua . first when did they change pious assault because when i first play this skill didnt cause deep wound and this skill instantly recharge when you lose an enchanment this way , and now for ebon dust arura , dont know if i miss understood but thought if you are weilding a earth damage weapon than you will cause blindness , right? but i went out with a sword that has earth damage on it and i cant seem to be causing blindness on any of my foe's , thanks in advence and sorry for missed spell or bad grammer .

i also check wiki on updates but didnt see when they did it so am i just lost in the head

[jcwagers]

I'm afraid I can't help you with pious assault but I'll try to help with EDA. You said you went out with a sword that has earth damage but it didn't seem to be causing any blindness, right? Were you using attack skills or simply attacking with the sword? If I remember right, EDA only causes blindness when you hit a target using attack skills. Attacking with the sword but not using attack skills won't trigger blindness on the enemies. :( If you're using attack skills with EDA, and it's still not causing blindness, I have no idea what the problem is. Sorry!

first when did they change pious assault because when i first play this skill didnt cause deep wound and this skill instantly recharge when you lose an enchanment this way

That was a change not too long ago, and happened in steps. First they changed it to cause dw and gave it an extra 5 energy. Then they realized this wasn't good enough and gave it 1/2 casting time. Finding this to be too good, they increased the casting time to 3/4 casting time. I thought it was good at first, but it doesn't seem to work well with a dervish, and especially not with a protect or hybrid monk on the team *sigh*.

This skill kind of illustrates what is wrong with wind prayers and all it's enchant removal. Not even a deep wound is worth the loss of an enchant in many cases. Don't even bring up mysticism's bonus or how some enchantments do stuff when they wear off, it doesn't make up for taking off protective spirit, spirit bond, etc. Not saying the skill can't be used effectively, just that it will be hard to do so even if you don't have any enchants on your bar. Ah well, you basically just asked when the update happened (for which you could have found out on history page of either wiki just so you know) so I'll be quiet now.

[Akirai Annuvil]

Pious Assault needs to be nerfed. Dervspike is lame >.>
If you're removing Prot Spirit or Spirit Bond with it while being spiked, you're using it pretty badly. Removing an RoF or a patient normally ain't much of a problem and can be avoided if need be.
Most annoying point is that you can't combine it well with Aegis chains. Hardly an insurmountable weakness.

Which is why in dspike you lose Attacker's Insight and Grenth's Aura. The former is a nifty tool that makes your spike cost 15 less Energy and the latter pulls an Enchantment when used with Pious Fury. While overpowered, this is the kind of synergy the Dervish class needs to be used in a relatively balanced fashion. Removing the activation time from Pious Assault should be enough.
