This is my first post on GWO and my first build posting, so please bare with me.

This build takes advantage of the AoE attack of the Dervish and also their slight bombing/spiking ability. This is far from a perfect build but it sure does have potential in both PvE (which is what i mainly what i do in GW) and PvP and can be made easily from the "whirling dervish" pre-build

Attributes:
12+1 Earth Prayers (+3 more once runes are available)
12 Mysticism (+2 more once runes are available)
*maxed this gets you 36 health/ 6 energy each time an enchantment ends*
any extra stick anywhere u want

Equipment:
Dunewalkers Hood w/ sup vig
Dunewalkers Robes (lots of earth damage flyin around w/ all these dervishes)
the rest Nomads
PvP Scythe w/ the +5 energy mod (we dont need to worry about damage)


Skills:
1 Rending Touch
2 Signet of Piety - heals for 121 at 13 earth prayers
3 Vital Boon - heals for 140 at 13 earth prayers
4 Dust Cloak - up to 92 damage at 13 earth prayers
5 Staggering Force - up to 92 damage at 13 earth prayers
6 Sand Shards -22 every time u fail to miss at 13 earth prayers
7 Signet of Midnight - blinds you and a foe for 15 seconds (very important)
8 Rez Sig
*aura of thorns can be swapped in for either dust cloak or staggering force, depending on preferance and if people will run from you or not in PvP*

How it works
This build may seem okay at first glance but what makes it shine is the AoE attack of the scythe. Sand Shards does 22 damage to target for and each adjacent foe each time you miss w/ an attack. one on one, thats not special, but against, say 3 players, after activating signet of midnight and blinding yourself, you're swinging away for 66 damage:grin:
Staggering Force and Dust Cloak provide spike damage and give you valuable health and energy when u use Signet of Piety. becuz lets face it, 121+36 health and +6 energy for FREE isnt too bad... Oh, and it recharges instantly if it eats an enchantment.:wink:
rending touch takes care of pesky enchantments (i'm talkin to you wammos) on the enemy while continuing to heal you and get back energy

if for some reason u have problems staying alive, you can spam vital boon and sand shards and use signet of piety on them or drop an aura of thorns if u have it equipped and make a run for it

and thats all i have to say about that

The other thread has the version I use if you want to take a look. Maybe a moderator could merge the two threads? Or maybe rename the other thread since it doesn't actually use IW.
