Dervish



Dervish characters can only be created on accounts that have access to Guild Wars Nightfall.

Mysticism (Primary)
Mysticism, the Dervish's primary attribute, reduces the cost of your Dervish enchantments by 4% and gives +1 armor per rank of Mysticism while you are enchanted.

Earth Prayers
Many Dervish spells, especially those dealing with defense or Earth damage, become more effective with higher Earth Prayers.

Scythe Mastery
Scythe Mastery increases the damage you do with scythes and your chance to inflict a critical hit when using a scythe. Many skills, especially scythe attack skills, become more effective with higher Scythe Mastery. When attacking with a scythe, you strike up to three adjacent foes in front of you.

Wind Prayers
This attribute increases the duration and effectiveness of the Dervish's Wind Prayer skills, including prayers that speed movement and lash enemies with cold damage.
