You're not abusing Adrenaline gain right. Spam with impunity. 141.165.139.19 02:09, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Hammers should really be used w/ Stonefist whenever possible. Lyssa's Haste and possible Rending Aura, with teardown attacks. Really. Aonsephonie 18:49, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

use a sword and get harriers. Readem 19:34, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

why bother? balth is outclassed by grenth, or onslaught or even renewal. Lania Elderfire 19:44, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

onslaught and renewal suck dick. balth is actually pretty decent. I do agree that EDA and grenth are better. Readem 20:57, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Caplan and SjorDL's votes
Were made before the build war changed to reflect this build's usage (per the section above). Can we have them either change their votes or have them removed? Aonsephonie 20:07, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I've looked at the history and there was a significant build change after their votes. I'll remove and they can revote on the new bar if they wish. -- Toraen TheJanitor [[image:ToraenSig2.png|link=User:Toraen]] 20:30, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

IDK if you guys can fix this but the pop-up text for Fleeting Stability says that at 11 Earth prayers it will last for 6 seconds but it's actually only 5 seconds.66.66.155.13 04:37, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
 * It's already noted here . Well, it's not specifically noted, but it's already fixed in the database editcopy. -- Toraen TheJanitor [[image:ToraenSig2.png|link=User:Toraen]] 04:47, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Update
5->3 secs of burning makes Balthazar sad, but the adrenaline gain is the important thing, imo. 86.23.65.151 11:12, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Could just put Aura of Thorns in optionals, it also works with Whirling/Rending (i.e. Wind Prayers) over Fleeting/Staggering. There are plenty of other things you could take (e.g. Test of Faith, another scythe attack etc, something from a secondary like, I dunno, Wild Throw) instead, but I think it should work OK like it is.

 * Ey widow, long time, no see. Anyways, the burning is just a thing you can still apply alot in the game. It is still the most common build you will EVER find guild wars GvG these days. [[Image:Shadow_Form~_Slayer.jpg|19px]] Slayer  à la  Shadow Form   06:57, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I know, it had one of them update tags on it, I was saying it doesn't make much difference (Widowmaker, lazy). 86.147.7.94 13:15, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

The skill is not properly reflecting the update (May 23, 2011) that made the fixed burning duration variable (3 seconds -> 1...3 seconds). I make this statement here because I don't know how to make that change (or if I am even capable) Chark 21:53, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
 * ... also Aura of Thorns functionally changed from the same update and has not been properly updated and may have implications for the build Chark 21:57, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
 * PvXwiki:Curse noticeboard. Don't worry about skill updates, they have already been taken into account regarding the viability of builds (unless there is a build-update/archive-pending tag on it). It's pretty obvious that AoB dervs are still run. All of the skills are current in our editcopies but are awaiting sync with the servers by a Curse admin. I think the message we sent ended up in a spam folder again so I'll need to contact them. --  Toraen   talk  23:44, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Yet another update, lack of armour and slower Pious Fury. I don't think it makes the build bad... actually it probably balances it. Are people still running these things, though? 86.29.53.201 10:39, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Last time I checked in observer mode, no. Dervishes fell out of the GvG scene, at least for now. MrDark88 18:11, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Dervishes are Meta.In gvgstandardbuild is an aobderv
