Dervish The New Farmer?

[Locke07]

What do you guys feel about the dervish becoming a new solo farmer. I see a lot of abiliity to inflict massive dmg to groups. Maybe a Dervis/Monk. With stacking on the waiting enchantments that do instant dmg then must wait 30 seconds then they affect. Combined with a skill that strips your enchantments you can have some very neat effects happening at once?

Something like

Mystic Sweep
Chilling Victory
and other enchantments like Balthazars rage

[Psychotic]

monsters in Nightfall will need a HUGE boost to keep up with the damage output.

i was wondering about that too

Of course, Dervishes are going to be great at farming. Tried Live Vicariously and Vigorous Spirit on a Barrage Ranger before? Similar effects here.

BUT... Dervishes will have loads of trouble farming if there is enchant removal, whereas some other classes can go without enchants.

I made a farm build already..

But they also have advantages of loosing the enchantments...

There already seems to be a limiting factor:

Scythe attacks hit max 3 targets

At least people claim this from observation. So all Live Vicariously/Vigorous Spirit Builds must be rethought.

Well of course, the Scythe is the perfect instrument for farming and has been the instrument of Farmers for years.

lol, that's true

For a Dervish farmer i think something involving earth prayers would work out well, i was thinking a D/Me with earth prayers using sandshards and signet of midnight to blind your self and then u just hack away, maybe something like this


sand shards
Signet of Midnight (E)
Dust Cloak
Staggering Force
(the one that makes u take less damage from foes suffering a condition)
Mystic Sandstorm (or whatever its called)
Mirage Cloak
not sure on last one though
