[edit] Builds
(Note: the great majority of those suck. I'm not aiming at the most efficient build possible, but rather at something I have fun playing with. And while I don't think it's fun to have ten party wipes, I'm not against playing with a "bad" build if it's fun to me.)

Beginning with the builds themed over the six gods, this one focuses on Avatar of Balthazar's property of doing holy damage. Together with other holy damage dealing skills, this build focuses on defeating both undead enemies and those with high defense that are more susceptible to armor ignoring damage. Victorious Sweep, Chilling Victory and Faithful Intervention are among my favourite Dervish skills; many of my builds have the three of them, and almost all of them have at least one of those three.

A build inspired by the complains about an overpowered PvP build. Ideally this would be a team build, with the dervish as a D/E using a Conjure under the support of a Smiting Monk with Strength of Honor, but I have never been one to rely on team builds when playing with heroes. This build uses the absurd damage of scythes to just kill stuff; many of the skills were chosen just to fit the theme, though. Someone aiming for effectiveness may want to add Aura of Holy Might and replace Avatar of Balthazar with a damage dealing skill.

Very once in a while crippling the enemies become important, be it to avoid someone escaping, or be it to prevent melee attackers to reach my backline. This build aims to use Avatar of Balthazar's speed and high defense to cripple those enemies and keep them still.
[edit] Grenth, God of Ice

One more build following the theme of the gods. Avatar of Grenth isn't a skill suited for PvE, IMO, but I tried to make a build using it anyway. With the ice theme, I went for Elementalist as secondary profession in order to improve scythe damage with Conjure Frost, using Pious Assault (fueled by Mystic Vigor) as the main finisher here. An useable build, but I hope Avatar of Grenth is actually buffed into something useful.
[edit] Lyssa, Goddess of Subterfuge

Template code: Ogei0xs8IAZYHsuX8VcXex4A
A build relying on Avatar of Lyssa's hability of doing extra damage to enemy using skills. With the assassin's faster attack speed being further improved by Heart of Fury, the idea is to aim enemies using skills with long casting times, or just to attack hoping to catch someone in the middle of activating a skill.
[edit] Abbadon, Fallen God

This was the build I used through most of the Realm of Torment. Plenty of defensive skills, given the high damage of the monsters there; the need to focus on a single enemy and kill it as quickly as possible (in order to prevent Call to the Torment being triggered) explains the relative lack of AoE skills. Chilling Victory followed by Reaper's Sweep is a great source of damage; and while the current Wounding Strike is likely better than Reaper's Sweep, I'm fonder of the later skill anyway.
[edit] Abbadon, God of Secrets
| | |  | | | | | |
Template code: OgikEOp8aymz5eAzcJwcX2b5N5C
Almost the same build as above, but adapted to work in areas without the followers of Abbadon. RS + CV + MS + RS is a skill combination I'm fond of, although it becomes unusable when under too much damage.
