The Dervish thread

Just reading zantai’s confirmation that guardian of empyrion can change its phys&fire RR to acid&vit RR with its transmuter. Dervish is no doubt will become very strong.
Also, double madqueen’s claw FTW!

Most obvious playstyle of dervish are those corrupted auto-attack repleacer with dual-wield with wps from nightblade trees.

Plus to this we could collect many from pseudo-pets (deathstalker, corrupted empyrion’s spirits, maybe even bladespirit with conversion from pierce to acid, and this new tier 3 constellation with, again, acid pseudo-pets) - and we got a pretty “tasty” acid (exactly acid, not poison) build with tainted army.
Sounds great.

Is there pic of this constellation skill?

Believe it or not, in my Dervish fantasy there was not a trace of acid AA in mind with acid & all :stuck_out_tongue: But it is indeed the AA acid has been waiting for

It was shown on some of grim misadventure, yes.
Something with tentacles, near abomination.

Cant find it :frowning:

Thank you very much

What? 86 flat dmg from conselation? No way this gona remain the same on final release.

I’d say it’s affected by stats:)

Well. I hate the name. It’s obvious that, if you go NB + OK, you’re aiming for a Acid/Poison build. There will be other possibilities but that’s the main theme of the class combination similar to Witch Hunter.

However, lore-wise, I think it will fit in much better than a Witch Hunter build. Witch Hunter’s are well-documented as using the powers of the Witch Gods against their own worshipers. This makes siding with the Order over Kymon’s difficult and Barrowholm downright impossible. This makes faction gear problematic in the long-run.

Dervish eliminates this. Now, you can be a disciple of Dreeg and side with Order and Barrowholm with no qualms.

Safe to say that my first build will be a Dual-wielding Acid/Poison Dervish dedicated to Dreeg. Auto-attack replacer, Scion of Dreeg, Nidalla’s, DW-line, and Night’s chill with psuedo-pets and Guardian’s Gaze.

This is shaping up to be THE Acid/Poison melee build.

The name is regrettable though.

I’ll confess I’m waiting to see if there’s anything that converts Aegis of Menhir to cold. Then I can really look forward to a cold Dervish (Aegis of Menhir, Vire’s Might, Ring of Frost). But again, that’s if there’s a way to make AoM cold.

I somehow doubt there’s a way to convert VM to acid, so I’m not really planning an acid Dervish.

Approaching 2019 and the release of FG.

I am currently leveling a nightblade who eventually will turn into a dervish. I was thinking an dw acid autoattck/wps build of some kind, and trying to sort out some gear that could be useful when endgame arrives.

Mad queens claw looks like a given with the recent addition of attack speed and bonuses to wps’es.

What else?

Recently buffed Rift scourge slicer + Path of the Three = old breaker level SS but with acid instead of cold.

Interesting idea. But how to convert cold? :undecided:

Yeah that’s the current problem. We already have some cold>acid conversion but they’re so scattered atm so hopefully something can either make them cohesive or just carry the build by itself. The synergy is already there tho.

errr, ~ 80% with helm and MI amulet. And you can also convert all the Second rite flat dmg and dot with 2x DG dagger.

It’s nice but not extraordinary. I leveled one 2-3 weeks ago

Are we talking WH now?

Putrid necklace(?) and Second rite? Not applicable to Dervish.

For some reason i had WH in mind. I know it’s not applicable cause I made Dervish too:p but not SS. I might try that variant too and see how it holds up with SS
