Archive:D/E Obsidian Dervish

This build is variant of the Obsidian Tank. The advantage of using a Dervish is that a Dervish can maintain constant health regeneration, which is the bane of the Warrior variant.

Variants
[build prof=dervi/eleme earthm=12 earthp=12+1+1 myst=3][Stoneflesh Aura][Obsidian Flesh][Armor of Earth][Glyph of Concentration][Sliver Armor][Mystic Regeneration][fleeting stability][Ward Against Foes][/build]
 * If you're doing Ravenheart Gloom, replace Fleeting Stability.
 * If not doing Ravenheart Gloom, replace Mirage Cloak.
 * If an elementalist is using Deep Freeze, Ward Against Foes may be replaced (not recommended).
 * For less experienced teams, you can include a Resurrection Signet.


 * Vital Boon, Sliver Armor, and Grasping Earth are good variants.
 * Fire Storm can be used to pull the monks in the mobs up to you.
 * Pious Concentration, although risky, is a surefire way to get off your Glyph of Concentration in Ravenheart Gloom. Additional cover enchantments from the monk and a cancel stance such as Conviction are required to use this skill.
 * Signet of Pious Light can be using for losing Mirage Cloak for dealing small damage and selfheal.
