That FA runner
I run something like that every once. I really like the wind prayers heal that removes two hexes @8 wind. Helps with all the pesky snares. Also wearying. Miharo 16:17, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I play around with skill 3,4,5 depending on what mood I'm in, sometimes I use D/Mo with Contemplation of Purity and take another running skill in place of Dash if I'm facing lots of mesmers, it has nice synergy with Pious Renewal for instant hex and condition removal.

Your Vote
I'm not really going to argue much about it, but I just wanted to make sure you knew that cross-profession comparisons are highly-discouraged. Your point about daggers is fine though. Just a heads up that you may want to consider revising your vote a bit. -- Jai .  -  03:50, April 18 2012 (UTC)
 * Its fine as a vote. It would be like saying a vote with "my assassin using Avatar of Grenth is inferior to a dervish using Avatar of Grenth" would be discouraged. Chieftain Alex  10:58, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
 * No, it's not. In your comparison, it should be downvoted because an assassin with AoG wouldn't have mysticism to make it last more than like 1 second, but more importantly, it would be inferior to the assassin's other options. If, for some reason, AoG was the best you could do on a sin, then no, that wouldn't be reason to downvote the build. Just take the ranger dagger spammer, or any of the scythe builds that have cropped up since the derv update. All of those are inferior to some degree when compared to the original builds of dagger spam and PR/Wounding Strike or whatever, but they are vetted because they're still a very strong option for that profession specifically. Why don't you know this already, Alex? -- Jai .  -  12:10, April 18 2012 (UTC)
 * His point is that the build using strong dervish skills that are weaker on an assassin than running daggers is redundant to daggerspam. It cannot compete with the dervish primary build (and lets face it, it IS using practically the same bar with lower attributes) Chieftain Alex  12:24, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
 * It doesn't need to. I know what his point is, and I'm saying that it goes against voting standards. Whether it can compete with the other sin builds is entirely up for question and I'm not going to argue for it being vetted because, as other voters have mentioned, it's clunky and it has fuck-all single-target damage. But cross-profession comparisons have been against the (albeit unwritten, policy-wise) rules simply because rerolling in PvE is not an option in the majority of cases. If I want to play a ranger, I'm not going to bother with some shitty bow build, I'm going to grab a scythe or daggers because they're OP, even though a ranger can't hope to compete with the damage of a sin or derv primary. Hell, look at the Para daggerspam build.. Ups, you voted based on sin comparison, wtf. Ugh, you're hopeless. Random Wierd Guy, don't follow Alex's ignorance here, and listen to the general consensus. -- Jai .  -  12:47, April 18 2012 (UTC)
 * In other words, until you can tell me how to get my Monk's titles on my Derv without grinding for hundreds of hours that I don't have, please stop telling me to run my Derv instead of my Monk. -- Jai .  -  12:53, April 18 2012 (UTC)
 * In leiu of your little edit there, no, that's not what he is saying. He's saying the sin version is inferior to the derv version, not some convoluted comparison between sin-VoS-compared-to-derv-VoS and daggerspam. Read his vote again. You're blatantly putting words in his mouth. Also, do note that I'm not even trying to get him to remove his vote or raise his rating. I'm saying he needs better reasoning, of which there's plenty to pick from. -- Jai .  -  20:51, April 18 2012 (UTC)

Your vote is still incorrect on this build. But just take out the part about being inferior to a derv primary and you're fine. jī·gō·dǔ -  14:44, 9 Jun 2012 (UTC)
